This reporter asks a legitimate, followup question—something the White House press corps doesn’t do all that often.
Trump isn’t used to this, and you can see how it gets under his skin.
Reporters need to do this more often, or at least come to the defense of those who are willing to do it.

“You’re a stupid person” — Trump lashes out at a reporter who presses him on the fact that the suspected DC shooter was actually thoroughly vetted before he was let in the US from Afghanistan

These habeas cases have absolutely flooded court dockets all over the country — I’ve regularly added more than 100 per day to my tracker — with exasperated judges pleading for binding guidance from the appeals courts that still could be weeks/months away. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...
More than 220 judges have now rejected the Trump admin’s mass detention policy
The number has skyrocketed in recent weeks and includes at least 20 judges appointed by Trump himself.

@andrewwrites.bsky.social I read your review of the M5 MacBook Pro. My daughter feels it’s the tight machine for her because she wants to run VectorWorks. Any thoughts on that?

People tend to dismiss VP Pence’s actions on J6: he was just doing his job, why should he get any credit for simply sticking to the letter of the law?
But if it was so easy to do, why was he one of the very few in his party to do it?

This May 4th, the Star Wars saga has never been more relevant. We The People are rebels fighting back against Trump’s Empire.
Trump is making the rounds on the mainstream media that he so often demonizes to make himself and his actions appear normal, but none of this is normal or good.

So… this was supposed to be about Paul Revere’s ride, but the Senator just unloaded about the Trump administration and its Republican enablers. Far more newsworthy than I expected. (You can probably see me shifting to “crap, this was not the interview I prepped!” but the result was memorable.)

I just landed in San Salvador a little while ago, and I look forward to meeting with the team at the U.S. embassy to discuss the release of Mr. Abrego Garcia.
I also hope to meet with Salvadoran officials and with Kilmar himself. He was illegally abducted and needs to come home.
