Most of the national reporters I followed are here. It's a lot of the ones with the biggest followings who can't seem to give it up. But imo, no amount of followers is worth staying on that platform.

I don't think the Dems can stop the firings. But why aren't they proposing legislation that assures those that took the buyout get paid , and that all that are fired, get at least a year severance and health benefits? And any one with a health condition is covered the entire time they are sick?

If you’re going to avoid saying Trump lies because you can’t prove his state of mind, you should also avoid saying he’s just trolling when you can’t prove that state of mind.
