Professor Bellantoni

Journalism professor, Roll Call columnist, may not be employed as a reporter anymore but will always be one at heart.
Ten years ago, when I was editor-in-chief, I shared some of the less flattering parts of Roll Call’s history.

Paging all historians! I need to know if this is first time urinals have been mentioned in an executive order.

This just in from the White House:

I have determined that the following additional rescissions are necessary to advance the policy of the United States to restore common sense to the Federal Government and unleash the potential of American citizens.

This just in from my CSpan feed: both of California’s senators vote No on government funding bill.

For Democrats, it’s time to get rude — my latest column for Roll Call.

There’s a disconnect between how people are feeling and what they are hearing from the opposition party.

When the aliens are studying Earth 300 years from now I bet this one will be a head scratcher.

From the “what a difference 8 years and an owner with an agenda makes” files, here are the t-shirts the LA Times had custom printed after being banned from a briefing in 2017. “We will not shut up” in all the languages spoken by the newsroom.

My column aims to focus on the view from the West, so I’d already been planning to write about California’s drop in clout at the start of this Congress. It seems all the more relevant now as my community is literally sifting through the rubble of two historic fires.

This is without a doubt the coldest I have ever been in my life. We had to wait for hours and hours on this platform. Gotta admit I’m surprised by the move indoors.

Important reminder to anyone mad enough at an owner to cancel a subscription: local news provides vital community information.
