    A neutral observation: arguably, no other news org in the world could invest as much time/resources into Trump tax investigations as @nytimes has. Maybe @washingtonpost @propublica too? 3 reporters; unlimited time. Support investigative journalism as a bulwark of democracy.

    Remnick from December: As Obama left his swearing in, Lewis approached him with a sheet of paper and asked the new President, the first black President, to sign it. And he did. He wrote, “Because of you, John. Barack Obama.”

    1/ THREAD: In his column on @RonanFarrow, @BenYt, whom I have respect for, does the same thing he accuses Ronan of––sanding the inconvenient edges off of facts in order to suit the narrative he wants to deliver.

    .@JaneMayerNYer "they say her short-term memory has grown so poor that she often forgets she has been briefed on a topic, accusing her staff of failing to do so just after they have. They describe Feinstein as forgetting what she has said & getting upset."

    At middle school basketball game at the Barclays center, the girls behind us are cheering for the opposing team. One bursts out: “If we lose, I’m going to smack one of those Chinese girls.” I talk to her. She denies it. Her mother comes over and gets in my face. #thisis2023
