Julie nails the problem here. The press lets him get away with this shit all the time, showing zero support for each other. It's what has allowed him and the White House to just lie and insult people with impunity. Shame on all of them. This is absurd.
I just watched the whole video, and not a single reporter stood up for her. Everyone just pivoted to asking questions on other topics.
This is shameful.
This is shameful.
When asked if there was anything "incriminating" in Epstein's emails, Trump pointed a finger in a female reporter's face and snapped. 'Quiet. Quiet, Piggy.'

And to be clear, the six reported injuries were nosebleeds, which is what happens when you have barotrauma.
I’ve been asking since June, if a passenger is handcuffed and the handcuffs are attached to a chain around their waists, can they even reach up to grab their masks? Seems like no.

Feels like we're at the stage where Nixon caved to the pressure and released transcripts of the Oval Office recordings, which turned out to have been heavily edited and misleading.
We might be jumping ahead to the 18 1/2 minute erasure, though.
But I'm not sure the 1-to-1 comparison really works?

I would simply add to this point that the redistricting done by republicans is based entirely on '24 numbers and based on what just happened, that's a really, really dangerous idea that could get them into dummymander territory.

When Trump pressured Texas to gerrymander Dems out, with more states to follow, it looked like a catastrophic attack on American democracy.
That was what Trump wanted that outcome, but House Dems and state leaders are fighting this to a draw (pending SCOTUS) to foil his aims.

It is interesting to me how the media seems far less interested in Trump's Murder Memo than you'd expect. Only a few reporters seem to be even trying to get a hold of it, and very few commentators are talking about it. Contrast that with Bush's torture memo, which was a national obsession. Weird.
Trump's illegal murders in the Caribbean just got worse. An internal DOJ memo on the bombings says the victims are waging war on the US, but per NYT, it extensively cites the WH's *own claims* to this effect as evidence!
