Editorial strategy @axios. Trying to compile good material for my obituary.
Forget kitchen-table issues. Trump is embracing the group-chat issues: ones plucked from America's popular imagination that you don't see on the campaign trail. Think the Coke recipe, reopening Alcatraz, ending the penny and more. axios.com/2025/07/20/tru…
Forget resistance mounted by Democrats, moderate Republicans or even the courts. The most destabilizing opposition of Trump's second term has come from within: an online MAGA army known for its extreme devotion. axios.com/2025/07/19/tru…

i like new media outlets starting! i do wish more people would feel comfortable saying, "I have a good idea that I think will appeal to news consumers and I think it can make money." they don't all have to be "because the MAINSTREAM MEDIA IS FAILING YOU AND DEMOCRACY"
