I mean, look, I'm not a reporter, so who am I to talk?
But on a day where the president both just called a woman reporter "Piggy" and is celebrating someone who had people bone saw apart one of my colleagues, I might just be a little ready to defend my colleagues and profession.
But that's just me

It will not go to the 5th Circuit. By law it goes straight to SCOTUS. Ron DeSantis is a moron.

You might not have caught what just happened on the Senate floor, but the Senate just “deemed as passed” the Epstein resolution.
That means as soon as it arrives from the House, it automatically passes the Senate (with no amendments) and heads to the President’s desk.
Wow.

Whistleblowers are the people who put a stop to fraud, waste, and abuse. Of course he wants to stop people who make it hard for him to do his three favorite things.
President Donald Trump's administration is close to implementing a rule that would end long-standing legal protections for whistleblowers among senior career federal employees, according to documents reviewed by Reuters.

I’m a lawyer but I’m a little confused and worried. 1. Why couldn’t the President just have DOJ release the files? Why the Congressional theatre? And 2. Will DOJ just say that they won’t release files during an ongoing investigation? Didn’t they open one? I thought they did
