Our safety comes from welcoming the stranger, fighting for universal human rights, and building pluralist democracy — not from endorsing neo-Nazi adjacent MAGA fanatics.

I emailed Patrick Healy, assistant managing editor for standards and trust at NYT, to ask why their story about a House report with new details of rape allegations against the President of the United States included neither those details, nor a single use of the word "rape." archive.is/1s9AM

Hi Patrick-

I'm reaching out regarding a story NYT published yesterday by Michael Gold titled "Democrats Call for Special Counsel to Scrutinize Trump ties to Epstein." It's about a report  published yesterday by the House Judiciary Democrats further detailing President Trump's ties to Jeffrey Epstein and new details about allegations of rape against Trump. 

One such allegation is from a Swiss model named Beatrice Keul, who the report says alleges in 1993 Trump "grabbed Keul from behind and forcibly raped her; in the process, tearing her dress and causing bleeding and bruising on multiple parts of her body.” These details are new, yet they didn't appear anywhere in Gold's story. In fact, the word "rape" does not appear in the story even once, despite multiple allegations. The story seems much more focused on the timing of the reports—a week before Election Day—and much less concerned with the gruesome details.


As someone who read all 53 pages of the report, I would like to understand NYT's avoidance of the word "rape" in a story about a report concerning rape allegations. If you could explain the rationale, I think it would be quite useful for me and for others.


Thank you,
Marisa

Wait. I didn’t know we ‘had’ to straighten up. I strip the bed, do my dishes, bag garbage, wipe shit down because … why wouldn’t I?! Oh and I leave money for the cleaner because 1. I used to clean an office building and a shitty motel, and 2. I can. #airbnb

SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

Amy Klobacher suspects Schmidt’s error and interjects. Schmidt’s indignation is immediate and his wrath intensifies. He cannot fathom a woman has standing to challenge him. Im aware these hearings have protocol, but his ‘how dare she speak’ is immediate and precedes his awareness of etiquette.
