I just listened to #TheDaily episode on "On COVID's Wake" with Frances Lee & Stephen Macedo where they make a categorical statement that non-pharmaceutical interventions didn't work during the pandemic. The evidence does not support this categorical claim. 1/

One laughable moment in #NYT #TheDaily podcast on #Canada today.

The host says “I don’t want to psychoanalyze Canada, but”

Sorry, Canada’s response to Trump’s lunacy is normal.

The host should be psychoanalyzing America’s response to Trump instead.

The rest of the world is doing just that

Listening to #Trump voters on #NYT #theDaily and I’m struck by the number who believe Trump that America has been taken advantage of by the world (and their allies) for generations (and THAT’S the cause of their personal struggles).

Dudes: you’ve been taken advantage of by your OWN billionaires!

Less than impressed with the "experts" (with a book to sell) on @nytimes.com #TheDaily "In COVID’s Wake." No mention that COVID-19 was new & lockdowns saved lives. Some might argue earlier, longer lockdowns could’ve eliminated #COVID19 & #LongCovid. But hey, I’m no bookselling expert. Irresponsible.

@cyanoschak.bsky.social

Why does #thedaily interview Tom Homan when he blatantly lies and they don't push back? He stated "we aren't going to violate anyone's civil rights" and yet we have instances of that and the @nytimes.com reported on those. Not fact checking and holding public officials accountable is why we are here

#NYT #TheDaily podcast this morning on the war with #Iran was an apologia for the Trump administration.

They even open up the possibility that America has not gone to “war” with Iran so Congress did not need to be consulted. What?!

Only in last few minutes of podcast did they lay out real risks

I was mostly impressed with the balanced #NYT #theDaily podcast on #Canada today (much better than the podcast on the convoy protests, for example).

But they still missed all the strengths that Canada brings to the table in a #tradewar.

America still thinks we are an empty frozen wasteland

Yhdysvaltain kotimaan turvallisuuden neuvonantaja #StephenMiller.
Mies, joka Trumpin kautta pääsee toteuttamaan omia ideologisia tavoitteitaan. Rajapolitiikka on hänen kynästään. Miller on se, jolla oli yhteys sekä Trumpiin että Muskin.

Pelottava.
