LOL, the gotcha part in the second paragraph is truly hilarious. Who will think of the straight white rightwing men in the literary world? WHO? WHO?

I have to hand it to Bret Stephens: this is a devastating argument, just not the way he meant. He looked back *ten years* but couldn't come up with *any* books by "straight white males on the political right" that should've been award contenders because he knows there aren't any, they're all trash.

With this comes the power to decide which stories get told, but more importantly, which stories DON'T get told.

Within 4 months, our top editor was gone, replaced by a loyal Murdoch deputy.
That board raised a quivering objection, but the deed was done.

Trump has now refunded $128 billion dollars from his tariffs to corporations.
Tariffs he created, made Americans pay for, and then returned right back to his donors.
We paid, and his friends cashed in.

"This election is about the threat of trans kids" is the worst possible messaging for Dems yet so many candidates are leaning into it. No voter will flip R->D over it. Low-info voters read this as "you're focused on bullshit that doesn't affect me" while the base reads this as "you're an asshole."
Incredibly disappointing ad from Mary Peltola (D-AK) saying she neither supports "kids getting surgeries to change genders or men in girls bathrooms."
Yes, flipping the Senate is essential and can stop bad laws and bad judges from happening, but she can do it without my support from the lower 48.

The future tense of the headline (“will pay him back”) conflicts with the past tense that the president used (“I hear he’s paid him back”). The story doesn’t tell us whether the Times attempted to confirm whether Don Jr. has done this or plans to do so.
