The Lie David Sanger Told to Sustain NYT's Non-Stop Campaign against Joe Biden

By Marcy Wheeler (emptywheel)

https://www.emptywheel.net/2024/07/10/the-lie-david-sanger-told-to-sustain-nyts-non-stop-campaign-against-joe-biden/

Predictably, the NYT treated President Biden’s speech to kick off NATO’s 75th Anniversary as if Biden merely invented the date and the event and maybe even NATO itself to cover up a shoddy debate performance. In addition to the subhead that nonsensically complained there was, “no mention of President Biden’s political peril,” in his speech, in this 25-paragraph story, NYT made this a story about Biden’s campaign by:



That is a lie. And one way we can be sure it is a lie — and that David Sanger knows it is a lie — is because a guy name David Sanger wrote this article, in February, which the NYT printed on A1 of the newspaper.

Canvasser in Pennsylvania says "People are going to show up for Democrats in November"

Warning: it's a tweet and a TikTok.

Zeke Tayler
@zeketayler
100 degree heat didn’t stop me from hitting the doors in Pennsylvania.

The responses were clear: People are going to show up for Democrats in November.

Take a listen for yourself.

Now, let’s get out the vote.

Michael Flynn may be Trump's VP pick

Grant Stern 

This is NOT the official Donald Trump campaign committee.

What is it exactly?!?

But it is a filing saying Gen. Mike Flynn is Trump’s VP pick.

A source tells me a Trump-Flynn ticket has been in the works for a few weeks.

Volunteer! My husband and I just spent three nights text-banking for DCCC

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has already been having text-banks.

Usually, text banks start later in the year because they are very expensive to run. This is why Congressional candidates never host them on their own.

We texted mostly for reproductive rights and several Congressional candidates including Tony Vargas, Laura Gillen, Adam Gray, Matt Cartwright, and Will Rollins

At this point, it's mostly about getting people to volunteer for the cause, or to find out if they will vote in November.

We were told our group sent over 500,000 texts in the first two days.

We are DETERMINED to get the House back. We are SO CLOSE.

We are also determined to use the fight for reproductive rights to destroy the Republican Nazis in November.

In this particular text bank, we used Zoom and Hustle. It's very easy.

There is also plenty of phone banking to do (I guess it's cheaper, but also harder to recruit people to do it)

We will be doing some phone banking shortly. We added BlueTooth to our computers and signed up for Google Voice.

Canvassing is also already underway.

Volunteer! It really helps one from feeling helpless to make real change. It's especially good if you can't afford to donate money. We've given hundreds of hours of our time to various groups since 2018.

Here are some sources for volunteers to help support candidates and register Democrats:

You can also check out Swing Left's excellent Super State Strategy.

We don't do door-to-door canvassing anymore but we do use this list of Congressional candidates to work for through other groups because we can't work for hundreds of them!

Pastor at Detroit church where Trump spoke had had been voted out but he refused to leave

Sound familiar?

They even changed the locks. Now he's having fun being on national television.

Fly Sistah
@Fly_Sistah
The Pontiac campus allegedly had 500 congregants per week. Members fired pastor Lorenzo Sewell, but he refused to leave. The locks were even changed. There seems to be an ongoing lawsuit for control of the church.

June 2023 photos of Trump-hosting Pastor Lorenzo Sewell of 180 Church being arrested by Detroit Police.

His congregation said they fired him, but he allegedly changed bylaws and courts won’t get involved in religious disputes. A legal maneuver got him building control back.

DETROIT Pastor Lorenzo Sewell thanks & appreciates President Trump for coming into the "HOOD" to be with them, whereas, he states, both OBAMA & BIDEN failed to come to the "HOOD" to be with them.
It's about the PEOPLE...fellow Americans, who feel it when they lose jobs or prosper

Associated Press: Trump makes TRIUMPHANT return to Capitol Hill

Okay they didn't capitalize "triumphant" but Democrats are furious on Xitter.

The Associated Press
@AP
Donald Trump made a triumphant return to Capitol Hill on Thursday, his first with lawmakers since the Jan.6, 2021 attacks, embraced by energized House and Senate Republicans who find themselves reinvigorated by his bid to retake the White House.

@leahmcelrath
Hey, @AP
, what exactly are you doing here? “Triumphant”? “Energized”? “Reinvigorated”?

This reads like an editorial that should be counted as an in-kind contribution to the Trump campaign.

Just Jay
@BostonDukeman
This is abysmal reporting by the @AP. The media is failing us. There is nothing “triumphant” about this.
