The NYT obituary of Lindsey Graham makes no mention of his effort to overturn the 2020 election by calling Georgia’s secretary of state to intimidate him into manufacturing votes for Trump. The Times, like all news media, is GOP propaganda erasing Republicans’ history as election deniers
Senator Lindsey Graham, Republican of South Carolina and Staunch Trump Ally, Dies at 71 Mr. Graham died of a “brief and sudden” illness on Saturday evening, his office said. Over more than two decades in the Senate, he consistently pushed for the use of U.S. military power overseas.
Over his Senate career, Mr. Graham led two influential committees, Judiciary and Budget. As head of the Judiciary Committee, he oversaw the confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court after the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg. He also played a critical role during the 2016 fight over President Barack Obama’s nomination of Merrick Garland to the court, aiding in Republicans’ success in blocking the pick.
More broadly, Mr. Graham was instrumental in advancing Mr. Trump’s effort to reshape the federal judiciary. During his tenure at the helm of the committee, the Senate confirmed more than 200 federal judges, including Ms. Barrett, cementing one of the defining conservative judicial legacies of the Trump era.
As chairman of the Budget Committee, Mr. Graham played a central role in translating Mr. Trump’s domestic agenda into legislation. He oversaw the budget resolution that allowed Republicans to advance much of the president’s sweeping tax, immigration and spending package without support from Senate Democrats. The effort required months of negotiations among warring factions within his party before the tax package became law last year. Mr. Graham, along with Republican leaders and the Trump administration, embraced budget reconciliation as the party’s primary vehicle for enacting Mr. Trump’s agenda at a time when Republicans lacked the 60 votes needed to overcome a filibuster. Those efforts became a defining accomplishment of Mr. Trump’s return to Washington with a Republican-controlled legislature, and highlighted not only the growing influence of Mr. Graham within his party but also his transformation from Trump critic into a steadfast and outspoken ally.

The Secret Service had safety concerns over Trump’s shiny new foreign gift plane and forced a switch for protection of the presidential entourage. The NYT reporters who covered that story are now being persecuted by Trump’s so-called Dept of Justice.

I’m not the only historian unsettled by this story. As reported in the Times, it’s not adding up

I wrote about Kerri Greenidge because the vague-accusation-to-career-ending-punishment math isn’t mathing. Show us the work. substack.com/home/post/p-...

White House Directed Patel to Oversee Investigation Involving Times Reporting

The F.B.I. director spent about eight hours at the White House Friday focused on the effort, which led to the subpoenaing of several Times reporters who wrote about the security of Air Force One.

Inoculate yourself with this before the inevitable NYT inanity drops.

Lindsey Graham was a simple, tragic man to understand. He lacked a moral core. The great empty spaces of his life were filled with an insatiable need for “relevance.” He found it as a cast member in the most malignant reality show ever made. steveschmidt.substack.com/p/lindsey-kn...

The Times has an article online describing Widdicombe as “a woman of profound faith”. And maybe she was. But I can‘t imagine someone who more personified the opposite of the kindness and compassion that christianity espouses. So many vocal gobshite christians are fundamentally nasty/awful people.

Doesn't look like many outlets had a prewritten obit for Lindsey. NYT certainly did not. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/1….
By Robert Jimison and Yan Zhuang July 12, 2026, 2:37 a.m. ET Senator Lindsey Graham, a South Carolina Republican who served in the State Legislature and the House of Representatives before being elected to the Senate four times, has died, his office announced early Sunday. He was 71. He died of a “brief and sudden” illness on Saturday evening, his office said in a statement, without providing details. Mr. Graham was first elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1994, before being elected to the Senate in 2002. He was re-elected to the Senate in 2008, 2014 and 2020. He was serving as chairman of the Senate Budget Committee. This is a developing story and will be updated. Robert Jimison covers Congress for The Times, with a focus on defense issues and foreign policy. Yan Zhuang is a Times reporter in Seoul who covers breaking news.

you can tell how LITTLE political violence this country has historically seen from the fact that there are only 100 Senators and the NYT doesn't just keep pre-written obituaries on all of them as a matter of policy

I love this. The NYT's response to having their reporters subpoenaed is a piece portraying a frantic Kash Patel doing an irate Trump's bidding that at once humiliates both men and makes clear that this White House will never, ever, ever be able to plug the leaks. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/1….
