Don’t know who else needs to hear this but it would be good to have a strong showing of American Flags at the rallies on Saturday to combat the GOP talking points that it’s a “hate America” rally!!

Please repost and pass this on to as many as possible!!

It’s more important than “solidarity for integrity!” We cannot lose a free press. At present journalists are all we have.They have been called “the 4th estate”.
1,2 & 3 are out of commission. A free press is essential. We WILL get news! Journalists are also investigators! Thank God for them!

I mean, solidarity for integrity is one thing, but this feels like a part of MAGA's plan. Lack of free press coverage means less accountability from the Pentagon. With Hegseth in charge, war crimes are probably around the corner. Or more incompetence, which might be more dangerous.

AOC: You're damn right that it's a Democratic priority to keep people from getting poisoned, from dangerous chemicals

You're damn right that it's a Democratic priority to bring down the cost of housing

If they want to say that that's a Democratic priority, they're right,

This needs to happen. But I'm floored that America is here.

It is an emergency and it should be taken up by the military to remove the current administration - they swore to the constitution and the admin is tearing apart their oath.

And killing America in the process

There is no place for partisan political videos from the govt being blasted in airports attacking the opposition party. That is what authoritarian regimes do. This should not be a partisan issue - it is fundamentally un-American.

Many of the reporters waited to leave together. Shortly after 4 p.m. about 40 to 50 journalists left together after handing in badges.

Journalists turn in access badges, exit Pentagon rather than agree to new reporting rules

Journalists at the Pentagon turned in access badges and cleaned out their workspaces, the price for refusing to agree to new restrictions on their jobs at the seat of U.S. military power.

Welch: Mike Johnson-If he's a big Christian, he should be fighting for the marginalized, fighting for the poor. But instead he weaponizes his faith to lure voters in and then dicks him over every chance he gets.

Trump and Bessent clarify that they will only help out Argentina as long as Milei is in power. Trump adds that the same thing goes with NYC, where the White House will hold up funds if Mamdani wins.

Hey. Hi. Tom Homan is on camera taking a $50k bribe and no one knows where the money went. If this was any other administration, this would be non-stop on the news. Why are we normalizing this stuff?

A humble journalist can see evil & corruption. Of course evil ones deny. In my opinion, it’s your job to tell truth, even if it makes some unhappy. Only what is vetted and evidence based.Otherwise, consider a change of career. I,too,wouldn’t want to state truth to the bloodthirsty mob on the right.

The Ass is the father of the legs @internethippo.bsky.social · 1d

Both sides of a conflict are calling each other evil and corrupt, rendering me, a humble journalist, helpless to discern the truth. Best I can do is let you know that both sides are in fact saying those things. Hope this helps

Frost: Trump knows that when they passed the big, ugly bill that rips away healthcare from 17 million people, you usually don’t win elections when you do something like that…

So instead of undoing that, he’s pressuring states to give him more seats.

What California is doing is responding to that
