Kristi Noem is mad that protesters are blowing whistles at ICE agents.

Moral rot in elite journalism is killing the whole field
The Nuzzi/RFK Jr. mess and the revelation of Esptein's journo pals lay bare a profound moral absence at the heart of our free press.

"Things happen" sometimes, like when you walk into an embassy to apply for your marriage license while your bride-to-be waits outside, but then you get bonesawed to pieces for having exercised freedom of speech as an US-based journalist and have to be carried out in a series of suitcases.
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

Sometimes I can laugh at the president or roll my eyes when he says something wild or ridiculous.
This one just makes me so sad. So deeply sad. I imagine some of you feel the same. Please recognize that, care for it and yourself. It’s rough out there.

It’s unacceptable that top CEOs make 285x what we do, while millions of families live paycheck-to-paycheck. It doesn’t have to be this way. A union contract will start to level the playing field and give workers their fair share of the profits THEY create. https://cbsn.ws/3LL0E5e

ABC’s parent company, Disney, paid $16M to Trump in December to settle a defamation lawsuit, but it doesn’t appear to have earned the network any goodwill with the president.
Instead, it has only emboldened Trump to ignore any questions he doesn’t like. trib.al/3TCMHJW

Epstein’s brother Mark tells Chris Cuomo that the reason the Trump administration is finally releasing the Epstein files is because they’ve been “sanitized.”
Quoting “a pretty good source,” he says “they’re scrubbing the files to take Republican names out.”
