AP is banned from WH events and all the other legacy journalists walk right in.
If this was the 60s, we know who would have been with the Freedom Riders, and who would’ve been writing about them from a safe place.
AP stands alone.
Sad but true.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

Hegspeth is confirmed. Now What? He has no idea how to manage the Pentagon. So he is going to be dependent on his direct reports. Most of which require confirmation.
The Dems have to use whatever political skills they have to get qualified, rational people in these positions ?
