Imagine if a woman in leadership was holding a presser and her kid was even there. Never mind toddling around, sitting on her shoulders and talking to POTUS…
It would be considered an outrage & she’d be getting dragged every which way for being unprofessional

Jesus and Tariffs?
Karoline Leavitt defends Trump’s tariff war by saying, “Jesus didn’t have electricity either.” So now economic policy is based on biblical times? Meanwhile, Canada is considering cutting U.S. energy supply over Trump’s reckless trade moves. This is absurd.

7,400 Influencers, But What About Journalism?
Trump’s White House is welcoming 7,400 influencers into press briefings, calling them “new media voices.” With misinformation rampant on TikTok, will this bring transparency—or just more state-approved propaganda?

Trump moves to strip federal workers of their rights—again. His latest move cancels union agreements made in Biden’s final days, calling them “wasteful.” Workers’ protections, wages, and remote work policies are at risk. This isn’t about efficiency—it’s about control.

Elon Musk pushed out the FAA chief — who resigned 1 year into a 5 year term, last week.
Why? Because last year the FAA fined SpaceX $600,000 — for safety violations.
Now the FAA has no chief — and we just had the first commercial airline crash in 16 years.

Remember — Tulsi Gabbard was on a TSA watch list because of suspicious foreign travel, including to Syria and Russia.
Maybe — just maybe, hear me out here — the Director of National Intelligence should NOT be someone who made a TSA watch list for suspicious foreign travel.
