In the last week, the New York Times has published over two dozen pieces about Trump’s White House ballroom remodeling. Here’s just some of the headlines. It’s a case study in the how the legacy media willfully ignores the issues that actually matter to everyday Americans.

“…when her painful lack of political talent finally catches up with her, few will mourn — least of all, Hochul’s new Democratic socialist friends.”

The fate most often reserved for social ladder climbers will be the governor’s due soon enough.
Gov. Hochul claims she didn't know what the crowd was chanting last night. "I thought they were saying, 'Let's Go Bills.'"

You’ve been told microplastics are everywhere. In your food. In your blood. Even in your brain. You should panic. You should rage. But what if most of it was junk science? 🧵1/

Tobacco control activists must never be described as “public health” advocates. What sort of lunatics want to ban all the safer products and leave the most dangerous available everywhere?
Marin County moves to ban the sale of all electronic smoking devices and heated smoking systems. However, the ban would not apply to cannabis vapes and combustible products like cigarettes which will remain legal. Virtually every lie ever alleged about vaping was used to justify

These excellent briefs for policymakers devised by @Clive_Bates contradicts pretty everything stated in that article from vaping harms to gateway effects. https://t.co/iV0dBp0xj0

Concise and referenced evidence briefs on several aspects of vaping science and policy, including safety, impact on smoking cessation, youth, and policy considerations. To be expanded and updated.

Yglesias' article is worth reading as a broad overview. I wish he'd considered whether nicotine (not smoking) is an issue national Democrats should moderate on. Top comment from @dilanesper:

This comment from @dilanesper to @mattyglesias absolutely nails it. The tobacco wars never ended, the puritans just turned the guns in a different direction.

“I’m sorry Dean Claybaugh, I am going to finish my remarks.” Unbelievable scene just now as a Harvard Undergraduate Education Dean tries to shut down former Harvard President Larry Summers as he points out the lies and distortions of an anti-Israel structure erected on the campus

Gell-Mann journalism theory -- Louvre heist edition. https://t.co/zh7JUBkxaU
There's also a lesson about modern journalism There's certainly nuances that aren't in the annual reports (more visitors add more strain) But it took me 45 minutes to check the reports and write this thread and yet not a journalist has checked the claim of a drop in headcount

Most know the @AAUP was founded in the aftermath of Prof. Edward A. Ross's termination from Stanford. The AAUP often boasts of the Ross case, but not the reason he was fired. The reason: Ross, a devout leftist, gave this eugenicist speech to a white labor union in San Francisco

Article in which I argue that nutrition misinformation has a meaningful impact on public health, plausibly causing tens of thousands of premature deaths per year in the US. Link below.

Riddle me this: How do you swing from being a Federalist Society leader to being a communism-touting member of Antifa? Answer: You were never really the adherent of Madison, Hamilton, and Jay’s work in the Federalist Papers that you pretended to be.

Outrageous! NYC has got to get its law and order under control. STOP releasing repeat offenders. Citizens deserve to travel on our public transit systems safely and without fear for their lives.

My liberal friends would be wise to heed this deeply astute piece in @commonwealmag. https://t.co/m3sQjcXaFX

If Democrats hope to return to power, they will have to abandon the conceit that theirs is the party of moral high-mindedness.

No big deal, just the future mayor of NYC praising Siraj Wahhaj, an imam who has said “Islam is better than democracy”, was an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 WTC bombing, provided testimony to defend the Blind Sheikh, and generally wants sharia implemented in America.🤷♂️
Today at Masjid At-Taqwa, I had the pleasure of meeting with Imam Siraj Wahhaj, one of the nation’s foremost Muslim leaders and a pillar of the Bed-Stuy community for nearly half a century. I was also joined by CM @dr_yusefsalaam of Harlem. A beautiful Jummah.

Today the "FDA Unveils First 9 Picks for Pilot Program Speeding Up Review of 'National Priority' Products." You would think that vaping which is by far the most effective method for smoking cessation would be selected since smoking is the biggest cause of preventable death.

You have absolutely no idea how bad things could’ve been during the Obama years without Mitch McConnell. Climate, immigration, taxes, our entire economy, foreign policy, it could’ve been unrecognizable. They tried it all. There’s a reason Obama hates him the most.
