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.

Everything's connected.
Tariffs on lumber = housing starts fall, price for available stock goes up, even as the market is soft due to instability and lack of consumer confidence.
Groceries = farmers in trouble, small grocery chains in trouble, SNAP interruption didn't help!
“Your costs are up… tariffs are raising prices…”

Fortunately I have never yet seen a presentation using AI.
But yes.
Do your own homework!
I don’t know if anyone else notices or cares, but when I see a presentation in which the speaker uses obviously generated-AI images to illustrate their slides, it makes me immediately less confident in whatever other content they’re presenting.

“She had a housing and healthcare plan. A plan to address climate change and energy costs. A plan to bring us together and strengthen ties with our allies and weaken our enemies. More importantly she would have torn up project 2025 that is doing great damage to the country.”

I can’t believe people in the room don’t push back. It doesn’t matter if he’s the president, part of holding him accountable is standing up to his bullying— especially if he’s doing it right in front of your face

Thinking of the Hortmans today. And hoping John Hoffman continues to recover.
This is the first Thanksgiving for Sophie & Colin Hortman without their parents, Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and Mark Hortman who were assassinated along with the family dog in an act of political murder. National guards troops were not deployed to the state in response.

Worse yet, they say, it’s coming even before cuts to Medicaid in President Donald Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act take effect and the potential expiration of Obamacare subsidies at year’s end. The charities are warning of exploding medical debt and lower survival rates for diseases like…
Politico on the rising number of Americans facing catastrophic medical insurance costs: "The Trump economy is not focusing on the root causes of why health care costs are so high in this country."
Americans are buckling under medical bills. It could get worse.
Charities that help people pay for care say demand is way up. That’s before scheduled Medicaid and Obamacare cuts take effect.

My deepest condolences to the friends & family of Specialist Sarah Beckstrom of the 863rd Military Police Company, 111th Engineer Brigade, West Va Army National Guard.
She had volunteered to serve this weekend & made the ultimate sacrifice.
May we find a greater peace within our nation.

This is what I said.
Watching the press conference in D.C. is frustrating. My point is and will continue to be that this should never have happened. Because the National Guard should never have been ordered to walk the streets of this city! Trump’s policy is the problem!!!

Actually bitch, it's the police that separate civilized society from a barbaric one. These Guardsmen should be at home eating Thanksgiving dinner and preparing for drill this weekend to protect this nation from something like a invasion of the Chinese military.
Pirro: "These Guardsmen and all who are here to protect the District are the line that separates a civilized society from a barbaric one."
