I went on a lot of long-haul trips w White House officials, accompanied by press. None of the reporters would have even imagined saying "Oh, thanks for bringing us along." (Among other things, the news organizations ARE PAYING for these trips.) Weak.

ABC Reporter to Vance in Greenland. “Thank you for bringing us along on this historic trip…” It’s not historic. The press doesn’t thank leaders for allowing coverage. This is is why media is weak.

Changing the wording of his previous post to claim he is paying the million for the person to be a “spokesman” for one day does not insulate what he is doing from criminal liability. Dems say they want to DO SOMETHING rather than talk, then AG Josh Kaul let’s see you do something.

Not gonna pretend like I know anything about Carney’s politics because I don’t, but I watched his speech yesterday and he essentially told Trump to fuck off and now Trump’s speaking about him with a modicum of respect. I feel like there’s a lesson in there somewhere.

Once again, another reason that the "You're wildly overreacting when you suggest that there's a high risk the 2026/28 elections won't be free & fair" view is so deeply unserious is that, by any serious & actually democratic standard, our current elections are already not even free & fair.

I said this on the other site, but I think the media needs to stop using the word “arrested” if a person hasn’t committed any crimes, hasn’t been read Miranda rights, hasn’t been formally charged with anything and their family and lawyer doesn’t know where they are. It’s kidnapping. It’s abduction.

The same people in the media who decided the entire 2016 election was a referendum on Hillary's use of a private email server which had nothing even close to this sensitive on it will treat the below as a one-day story.

Republicans immediately muddy the waters on something any reporter w/three functioning brain cells knows is a "-gate" level scandal but instead of being objective, they revert to "one side says this, the other side says that" frame & it's all forgotten by the weekend. Just watch

We said 2024 was about the future of democracy. The media said it was about grocery prices. Now that the media helped Trump win, you don't hear very much about grocery prices while he goes about the business of ending democracy. 🙃

Folks, when you meet a trans person, asking them within moments of meeting them "are you into men or women" is very weird and reductive and a bit insulting. Don't do that. Don't treat us like sex objects. It's really not that hard.

Master of hypocrisy Rubio, who had his hair on fire about Hillary Clinton’s emails, is now scrambling to tell you that there’s nothing to see here regarding Signalgate. Because we all know that bathrooms in Mar-A-Lago and chat apps are perfectly acceptable venues for our national security.

Deflecting to “but the mission was a success” reminds me of a drunk driver arguing to the cop that he should be allowed to go home because he didn’t crash into anyone.

The purpose of the deportations we have been seeing has not been to fight antisemitism, but rather to use antisemitism as a beachhead to eventually do away with foreign students altogether, using Jews as a pretext for a non-Jewish political agenda.

Really feel like I’m losing my mind: government OBVIOUSLY cannot punish an individual law firm for hiring someone it disfavors! It’s ludicrously unconstitutional and I feel like without a day of law school I could argue the case. And yet the best paid lawyers in the country are folding?

The robust premise of the White House Correspondents' Association is a perverted interpretation of the first amendment: that they must exist to air and amplify statements from the White House The material difference between the WHCA and the WH communications dept. is the color of their lanyards

They canceled comedian hosts Michelle Wolf called Sarah Huckabee Sanders a liar, but now beg for an empty display of symbolism when their own colleagues are illegally targeted for sanction. Really impressive marker for how journalism as an industry has failed its core duty to the public.

What we're all witnessing in Washington, D.C. right now is an existential staring contest. The evidence is irrefutable. Trump and co. know they're dead wrong. So, they're pushing in all their chips on a bet that Democratic leaders and political media will blink first. We can't let them.

The first rule of Trumpism is to never apologize or admit wrongdoing. That’s why he’s not firing anyone or even entertaining the idea anybody around him did something wrong.

This is a journalism fail by the @nytimes.com ⤵️ Trump, etc wants everyone to look past the giant mistake of using a public chat app to plan a covert military attack by focus on the narrow 'journalist' issue.. This big, bold headline is propaganda, not journalism. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/26/u...

It’s astounding to watch the political press let Trump dodge accountability. Three days into the Signal scandal, and he ‘doesn’t know’ if his national security team leaked classified information? Any other president would be facing demands for impeachment.

There's a very obvious reason why Whiskey Pete Hegset refuses to apologize for putting service members at risk bc he's incompetent. His ENTIRE CLAIM to authority is that white Christian men are competent, and women and Black men and trans people are not.

Gomez on Hegseth: "He stood in front of a podium in Europe holding a drink! So of course we want to know if his performance is compromised. If your people were asking if General Austin was compromised because of a heart issue ... this is serious."

For 9 years the media has caught the Trump team lying — today it's that the WH explanation on the Signal chat "casts doubt" on what happened — and next week the media will wipe the slate clean, take Trump live, and treat them as officials with info If they're lying, they're lying about everything
