Trump just announced a Tuesday "crime and safety" rally in a Michigan town that has been heavily associated with the KKK for decades (Howell, Michigan). Just last month White Supremacists marched through town chanting ‘We love Hitler. We love Trump.’

The Times ran an oped by Matthew Schmitz last week that defended JD Vance and placed him more generally among a group of neo-traditionalist Catholic ideologues. It's an interesting cleansing of certain strains currently in American political culture. Schmitz and often Times ...
2/ columnist Ross Douthat often presents this as simply Catholic social doctrine and in fact a vision of neo-traditionalism which holds a large space for the economic well-being of families, even making room for unions. This was basically Schmitz argument.
3/ This is at best a highly sanitized explanation of their thought, and one I was surprised the Times was willing to play along w in a fairly deceptive way. The neo-integralism these folks advocate has very specific roots in the early 20th century, especially among ...

Elon now literally supplying arms and materiel to Russia
of course given what a ridiculous vehicle this is perhaps it's a secret attempt to help Ukraine. But people forget (apparently including some folks at the Pentagon) that high level executives, let alone owners of major defense contractors actually have to work within ...
3/ fairly serious constraints tied to required security clearances, status as major arms contractors. Taken together most of those boil down to not being traitors or major intelligence risks or just in general working for or assisting adversary states. It's become a bit ...

I've explained this before. But in addition to a lot of frivolous and biased journalism the real root of a lot of what you see in the elite press isn't bias precisely. Certainly it's not that the reporters are right wingers or Trumpers. It's something different but insidious.
2/ Precisely because the bulk of elite reporters and editors come from the same social and cultural world as Democrats they tend to view and report on Republican policies and campaigns as something like the weather. You can give people heads ups about Hurricanes and tornados ...
3/ so forth but you don't spend much time explaining that it's pretty mean for the air to create an cyclonic vortex which breaks peoples houses or major oceanic storms that cause billions of dollars of damage and drive people from their homes. It's the weather. It is ...

This isn’t a federal case. But it’s pretty Trumpy and hilarious. So I thought I’d flag it since it’s got almost no attention. This ad from Trumps “Preserve America” PAC is on constant play in Michigan. It has the testimony of “Julie Willoughby RN”, who tells viewers that …
2/ she’s a nurse whos seen the hospitals in Arizona overrun by “illegals” w real Americans picking up the tab. Willoughby IS a nurse. But the ad leaves out that she’s a member of the AZ state House! Yes, incumbent. She was actually appointed after her predecessor was expelled..
3/ for bad acts tied to election denialism. She failed when she ran on her own. Now she’s running as an incumbent. In any case, like I said, not a huge scandal. But still pretty hilarious and strong Lolwut energy.

As our fmr colleague Brian notes no major prez campaign has ever had to stand up campaign from scratch in August. The idea that Kamala is 'behind' or playing some kind of hide the ball is absurd. It is just as true that campaign & politics reporters generally show zero ...
2/ interest and little familiarity with policy or competence reporting on it. But as I explain in this piece Harris has actually been pretty clear on the policy directions she wld pursue as President. And this squabble between her campaign and the national political ...
3/ press illustrates something Harris is doing right. Democrats often operate in a space I like to think of as 'policy literalism', as though a presidential campaign is about policies and white papers as opposed to a conversation ... talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/harriss…

There's been a real hunger from the Post and especially the Times that Harris's momentum needs to end. And you can see that they've been very willing with these articles based on Trump campaign oppo to go after Walz's military service. The folks the Trump campaign gave them to talk are clearly big GOPs and the whole claim is that he retired not long before his unit deployed to Iraq. IOW, basically nothing.
2/ Note that the guy QBing Vance's attacks is Chris LaCivita, the guy who led the Swift Boat attacks on Kerry in 2004. The campaign is using Vance to make the attacks because he is also a veteran and did a stint in Iraq. But note that the Times waits till literally the last ...
3/ paragraph of their story to note that Vance's job in the Marines was writing newspaper articles about his unit. I mean, I'd prefer that safe gig too. But I'm not sure I'd be attacking other people's service. Image
