I am all for criticizing the Biden admin for their shortcomings but it is hard to take anyone in media seriously when they make statements like this.
Trump 1.0 was literally “guess we’ll see what the President tweets tomorrow.”

The reason many in the press were happy to see Biden’s comms team go is because it routinely ghosted us, dropped us from email chains, ignored requests, acted elitist, spoke down to some and indifferent to others. I have covered every POTUS since Reagan. No admin had a more incompetent comms staff

lmao no, TikTok users are not moving to Bluesky. They would literally rather learn Mandarin than learn how to read a feed of text posts. This is a millennial retirement home.

Jimmy Carter, a visionary on ending fossil fuels, put solar panels on the White House. Big Oil-backed Ronald Reagan ousted Carter in 1980 and ripped them out
Tonight, as Carter lies in in state in the Capitol, a climate-fueled wildfire is destroying Reagan's former hometown of Pacific Palisades

The insanity of being a fire ecologist in the epicenter of a major fire event, bags packed and ready to evacuate, watching active fire from my window, while taking media requests and explaining to the public, for the 100,000th time how climate change is largely responsible for this
