I would've preferred to see it far sooner, but it's nice to *finally* see a member of the White House press corps snapping back a correction when a misstatement has been made.
Leavitt: Why aren't you talking about what these members of congress are doing to encourage violence…. They're literally saying to 1.3 million active duty service members not to follow lawful orders
Reporter: Actually they said illegal orders.

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024.

I started a list of Catholic institutions, media, journalists, & scholars who are explicitly and actively pro-democracy. I made it for myself but figured I would share. This is a work and progress, let me know who I am missing. It is also a high bar list meaning I will vet.
