I would like reporters to support their colleagues as he abuses their colleagues. I would like reporters to start saying, "You cannot speak to me like this."

Love this! He’s so ignorant about so much!!!
For those who might not know: The audience is paid to be there. Not that much, but they're paid and they're supposed to laugh and applaud at the right times.

There's an "applaud" signal, but no "laugh" signal though. In this case it means the audience didn't even know it was a joke.

It's majestic.

Every day there is a scandal that, in every other administration in history, would be its demise.
The Justice Department admitted that the grand jury in former FBI Director James Comey’s case was never given a copy of the final indictment

When Asked About What Happens If Trump Signs The Bill Forcing DOJ To Release Epstein files: "I have no trust, no confidence whatsoever, that this justice department will be evenhanded or fair in the disclosure of these files"

So true!!
In a two-party system, all you have to do to win in a landslide during a disastrous presidential administration is to be the only other alternative in town. Just ask the Democrats of 1930, who didn't particularly stand for much other than that they weren't Hoover. They gained 52 seats in the House.

This woman is trying to gaslight the world!!! Such arrogance is disgusting.
your movement has to be like 8 levels removed from reality to think that some of the starving kids in gaza also having serious medical conditions makes Israel look better. it's completely insane. they just think because it's an additional fact it's somehow exonerating.
Jewish Federations applauds Olivia Reingold, a staff writer at Bari Weiss's Free Press, as she victory laps her (ghoulish and erroneous) reporting that some of the children Israel was starving to death and denying medical aid to in Gaza had pre-existing conditions.

Uh huh….
“It’d be a mistake… it’ll really backfire on them.” – Rand Paul
“He does not want the information out.” – Sen. Welch on Trump & the Epstein files

DOJ stall + new “investigation” = perfect excuse to keep the ugliest truths buried. We deserve the full files.

Despite congressional action, quick release of Epstein files is in doubt
The legislation calling for the release of Justice Department files on Jeffrey Epstein includes major loopholes. The department has said little about its plans.

Thank you for your vigilance, Senator! Keeping us informed!!
Russ Vought is openly admitting this nomination is a front so he can stay on at the CFPB while he tries to shut it down.

Instead of lowering costs for Americans, Trump and Vought want to make it easier for giant corporations to scam families out of their money.
Trump picks new CFPB director amid efforts to close agency
The nomination of Stuart Levenbach was a "technical" maneuver intended to extend White House budget director Russ Vought's oversight of the agency.

The Civil Rights Division was created to protect the disempowered. Under Trump, it's morphed into a potent weapon in MAGA’s nonstop culture battles.

The latest from our friends at @thetrace.org:
At the Justice Department, civil rights now means gun rights

As the 50501 National Press Coordinator, that’s why I’m joining: because the stakes are too high not to.

If you want to catch me, I’ll be speaking at the opening rally on 11/20, lobbying Congress for impeachment, & I’ll be helping out at the march on 11/22.

I hope to see many of you there :)

Terrifying — technology is racing past ethical development!!!
Trump's economy is being held up by a massive AI bubble.

A recent study found that of 300 companies that owned generative AI tools, 95% reported zero return on their investments.

We will not entertain a bailout of these companies should this bubble pop.

Completely agree!! Her colleagues were cowardly sycophants.
Every silent reporter became complicit choosing access over integrity, careers over courage. Baldwin knew: "We can disagree and still love each other unless your disagreement is rooted in my oppression and denial of my humanity and right to exist." Their silence is professional cowardice,
