Did even ONE member of the press try a follow-up? Just one?
I get that doing that might get them booted, but why bother staying if you're just covering bullshit anyway?

Sooner or later someone is going to suggest bringing back intermissions to run commercials.
And I hope someone else is there to poke them in the eye on behalf of everyone.

The Petrova story is messing with me more than most. It's not (just) ICE trying to deport her off to jail and possible death for a misdemeanor, it's the "I'm not MAGA, but..." people that are rationalizing ignoring the Constitution because she had lab samples on her.
It ends with a whimper.

Just looked at Twitter for the first time in a while and it's mind blowing how many Russian bots are all over the comments.
