in a way it's heartening to see journalists realizing they don't need physical access to the halls of power in order to report on what's happening in them.

We see you, @codepink.bsky.social

Your paid performative agitators pop up on her book tour like they think we don’t know the VP’s job.

The VP doesn’t set Middle East policy, the President does. The VP’s role is to support the President, period.

First it was Los Angeles. Then, Washington, DC. Then, Memphis. Now, Portland, Oregon, is in President Donald Trump’s sights—just the latest Democratic city facing increased militarization.

But the picture that Trump paints of a “war-ravaged” city literally just doesn't exist.

The “war-ravaged” Portland only exists in Trump’s head.

My video report paints a very Portland scene of defiance—and dance.

Illinois law requires all registered vehicles to display front and back license plates, without exception. But to evade accountability, masked federal immigration agents are driving around in unmarked cars without plates.
