if there was a rich person with the will, you could build the most incredible news organization that has ever existed just from the wreckage of this year alone.
I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.
certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

What does Putin have on Trump that is making him try to bully Zelensky into a bad deal that hands victory to Russia?

This…Trump’s behaviour is now so obscene that mainstream media in the US - and I might add the UK - have decided it must be hushed up.
as far as just messaging goes that video is probably the most embarrassing thing any president has done on the world stage in my life
and the fact that the sunday shows wont even describe it? total abdication of their responsibility

Not being even vaguely sarcastic:
At some point, a journalist needs to ask Johnson “you regularly claim you have no idea what your own government is doing. If we take you at your word, how are you so poorly informed, and do you this level of ignorance should disqualify you as speaker?”

Q: What's your message to the 170 US citizens who have been detained by ICE? About 20 of them are children
MIKE JOHNSON: I don't know what you're talking about with the children. I haven't seen that so I'm not going to comment on it.

We’re making fun of her, but it really is beyond the pale at the White House press secretary would say this in public and it would not be a scandal.

What an evil and dangerous (and completely false) thing for a Vice President of the United States to say. How dare he.

Northern Ireland man from Lisburn kidnapped by Trump’s Ice raids because he “looked like a Mexican”. He had the correct visa, all his documents. He’s never been in trouble with police.

Russia attacks Poland hours after Israel attacks Qatar. And Trump's response is to stroll across the street to dinner to prove DC is "crime free" and so we spend ten fewer minutes talking about his links to Jeffrey Epstein. The US plays no role in world affairs anymore. We've just quit.
