NEW: The Times’s Credit Crisis A recent New York Times front-page feature on chemical plants in the Trump era had deep reporting, stark data visuals, and an uncanny resemblance to a smaller outlet’s earlier investigation. Was this a case of unacknowledged inspiration, a steroidal dose of Times exceptionalism, or sheer coincidence? puck.news/media/2026/10/did-…

JFC, people. Obama wasn’t making fun of people who eat at The Cheesecake Factory. He was making fun of the decor: part faux Italian villa, part Egyptian palace, part Las Vegas fever dream. Unless you invented eating mozzarella sticks amidst the architectural splendor of a collapsing empire, please chill.

Trump’s October Surprise Is a Pivot to Putin
