someone once said to me, “these guys don’t usually turn on their own or air political grievances in public” in reference to flag officers, I think that may change as more of them get thrown under the bus or have their hard earned careers tossed to the curb like pentagon cafeteria trash

if you want the men in the White House press corps to stand up for their women colleagues you have to appeal to their natures; that is, remind them that it’s an opportunity for them to grandstand
“Quiet piggy”
“You’re ugly inside and out”
“Are you stupid? Are you a stupid person?”
This is how the President speaks to female journalists.
The men in the room need to call out his misogyny.
Demand better. Don’t let him demean women this way.

Reuters reached out to everyone that Trump or his subordinates singled out publicly for retribution, and reviewed hundreds of official orders, directives and public records. The result: the most comprehensive accounting yet of his campaign of payback.

Marjorie Taylor Greene says she’s being inundated with threats because of Trump’s rhetoric. Violent threats are wrong no matter what.
This is an opportunity for MTG and others on the right to reflect on all the violent threats Trump has incited through the years - including on Jan. 6.

Duh. It’s his business model
Ok. Here’s my take. Trump had the WH hire ACECO to do the East Wing demolition but they were supposed to erect sufficient fencing so as to prevent all the photos that were taken. Their failure (Trump will claim) to prevent the exposure means he doesn’t have to pay them.

Private jet flights often take a single billionaire passenger, but still put real strain on our air traffic control system.

Crucial thing to watch: The Dem blowout wins suggest it'll be way more risky for GOPers to gerrymander, because the GOP safer seats may become more vulnerable than expected. Rs in those seats will now be very nervous.

A year ago today, a racist tried to make a 'joke' about me being killed by Israel. It was the 1st time I've ever walked off of live TV. That night CNN said they'd ban the racist from their air. But in the year since, I myself haven't been invited back on CNN.
