Watch this. Because this is the way: Local officials using their platform right, reaching out to the community.

Ambrocio “Enrique” Lozano, affectionately known as “the popsicle man,” was reportedly abducted in broad daylight in Culver City. Masked man. White van. Cart left behind in the street.

Lutnick on Fox News tonight claimed Trump has "$10 trillion coming to build factories in America."

(The entire GDP of the US is under $28 trillion, so this is as ridiculous of a lie as you'll ever hear)

House Rules Committee meeting on Trump’s Megabill as they see it will add 38 TRILLION to our deficit.
This is anything but conservative. The Felon warns all elected GOP against opposing it.
This is the final nail in America’s coffin. The Rich are eating us as a snack.

This is really important. Buried in this spending bill is this piece of legislation. This cannot happen. Call Democrats and tell him to do everything possible to get this stripped out of that bill! All hands on deck!

It ought to be a huge story when a President refuses to affirm his oath to uphold the Constitution. Trump's "I don't know" interview warranted substantial #FrontPage coverage

NYT/WaPo/WSJ gave it minimal A1 coverage

Local outlets did much better!

Fourth Estate Dereliction of Duty: Influential Newspaper Editors Normalize President Trump’s Refusal To Affirm His Oath To Defend the Constitution. A case study.
New York Times, Washington Post & Wall Street Journal editors did not make Trump’s “I don’t know” interview a front page story. Several local editors did give it prominence and did a better job.

We strongly advise the public not to do this, it’s unsafe. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. posted photos of himself and his grandkids swimming in Rock Creek, a Washington waterway so contaminated with sewage runoff that swimming has been banned citywide for over 50 years.

It's hard to adequately describe how scary it is to watch mainstream political journalists barely push back against a sitting U.S. president accepting a $400M plane from a foreign government that would literally be designated as an emergency command-and-control center during a nuclear war.

The president has covered the Oval Office in gold, is planning a massive military parade for his birthday, and is now accepting $400,000,000 luxury planes from foreign powers as personal presents.

What the fuck are we doing here?

AOC: We need to be talking about ICE agents and the cowardly policy of covering their faces — and, in many cases, their identification… The idea that we’re going to allow a paramilitary force to bloom, one that isn’t accountable to the Constitution… we’ve got another thing coming.

They graded it.
