Happy Birthday, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez!
As a water protector at Standing Rock in 2016, her experience protesting against DAPL led to her wanting to do something more. In 2018, at age 29, AOC became the youngest woman to be elected to Congress. She serves the New York 14th congressional district.

Happy birthday to the United States Navy. For 250 years, our sailors have served our nation with honor, dignity, and courage. The Navy holds a special place in my heart having served alongside incredible men and women for 34 years following in the footsteps of my father and grandfather.

The scale and scope of federal data and statistics that have been completely removed or otherwise compromised by President Trump’s administration is staggering.

One estimate put it at 3,000 datasets removed.

Stephanopoulos handled JD’s lies and clumsy misdirections with aplomb, no anger, simply a professionalism most in trumps admin wouldn’t understand.

And a reminder: trump could END THE SHUTDOWN any time he wanted. But he’s using it to hide the Epstein files as long as he can.

CBS News would never put a thinly sourced 'story' by a rookie blogger like this on it's air. Until now. The Free Press isn't a journalism outlet, it's bloggers aren't reporters. This piece is more NYPost than Tiffany Network but I guess that's the goal.

In every complaint that Katie had, she was right. The woman in the background was purposefully & repeatedly stepping into her shot, to be seen on national TV. The interview with mainstream TV was not being done in good spirit. They were fishing for a negative story & not listening to her comments.
