Better: “A broad swath of Donald Trump’s sub rosa milieu of agents, allies, associates, attorneys, aides, and acolytes carefully and possibly illegally plotted the end of American democracy across several weeks in November and December of 2020, emails reviewed by the NYT reveal.” — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

All these men knew that what they were doing was immoral, unethical, fraudulent and illegal—everyone from the Trump lawyers to the GOP members of Congress who conspired with them—and the reason these criminals feel they needn’t stop criming is because of euphemisms like the NYT’s — PolitiTweet.org

Maggie writing that a seditious conspiracy to overthrow American democracy was merely “intended to provide a rationale” to elected officials plotting to object to Biden electors is like writing that a mass murderer was merely “trying to provide primetime material for cable news” — PolitiTweet.org

Like if a motorist of color makes the horrible decision to try to evade a traffic stop and ends up dead the NYT does not call their split-second decision “desperate” and “slapdash” but when rich white Republican men spend weeks *carefully planning a coup attempt* apparently it is — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a breaking news report in the NYT *begin*—in its lede!—with two pieces of glaringly out-of-place editorializing seeking to diminish the intentionality behind a seditious conspiracy by empathetically calling it “desperate” and “slapdash” but here you go — PolitiTweet.org

@dweldredge They are simply wrong. Every former/current federal investigator and prosecutor I respect has confirmed what I know from my own professional experience—certain steps that should have and could have been taken 18 months ago were not taken, and we would have known if they had been. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

(For those wondering, I don’t have much to say about the WP reporting that DOJ is investigating Trump. This should’ve happened over a year ago; much of the important evidence is now gone; and yet—despite it all—I do believe Trump will be indicted. But it’s still a long way off.) — PolitiTweet.org

@WWMcClyde See my other comment in this thread about the buyouts. I certainly do not want to see the ACC fold, and I suspect if the Big Ten somehow managed to get two teams from it the ACC would very quickly pick up two new members. — PolitiTweet.org

@MrLDC I admit that in my view the Pac-12 has been a little less stalwart with respect to the academics of its members as compared to the Big Ten, and certainly has not *recently* done something like justifying an addition in part via academics (Maryland, Rutgers). — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

@MrLDC Sorry I wasn’t clear: historically the league has considered academics, now it is most focused on television deals, but I do not think will skimp overmuch on academics given how the addition of Nebraska worked out. I deeply admire the Pac-12, which is also committed to academics. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

@FLT3711 We may be headed that way, though not sure what teams would qualify as South unless they are all teams not currently in the conference (okay, *maybe* you could squeeze Maryland in) — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

@Somerichs I think this time around they are definitely looking for both. For instance, they got academics but not as much in the way of athletics with Rutgers, and arguably the reverse with Nebraska, and now they want more teams like USC and UCLA that offer both. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

@Scrabble_bike I’ve been reading about this and while the opt-out is enormous, there are rumors certain schools would be willing to pay it based upon the monies they think they would make as part of a Big Ten super-conference. I was skeptical too—but look around and you’ll see the same reports. — PolitiTweet.org

@milano_cookiezz I bet the league has already called Orono many times, begging 😉 — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

What matters to me as a Big Ten fan is that the schools added be academically on par with the current league roster; consideration of academics has often set the Big Ten apart (and to a degree the ACC and Pac-12). I’d be especially excited about large public R1s (e.g. UNC, UVA). — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

So many (great) potential options for future (further) Big Ten expansion—including UNC, UVA, Duke, Stanford, Notre Dame, Washington, Oregon, Miami, BC, Georgia Tech, and Cal, among others—and I feel increasingly certain that the league is headed toward two ten-team divisions. — PolitiTweet.org
