A monstrous, illegal waste of taxpayer dollars.
Donald Trump must confirm if this estimate is true and disclose the full total he's burned through with his unlawful military deployment into our cities.
The American people deserve to know.

The headline doesn't do this article any favors. I came away from the piece reflecting on the tentacles of the Epstein scandal reaching far & wide, with powerful & well-connected people aiding an abuser. The tone of the headline & subhead come across as nostalgic.

Somewhere along the way, I learned to distrust myself. I suppose this is good for journalism, because it forces me to double- and triple-check myself in case I make a mistake. But I'm realizing that I have to trust myself more. I'm seeing what I'm seeing, and I'm hearing what I'm hearing.

Please stop using language that suggests that people with criminal records are appropriate targets for this administration's violence. One in three adults has a criminal record. Stop playing sacrifice games with fascists. Stop surrendering entire categories of people in your own mind.

I wanted to share probably the most important sermon I’ve given and it’s while I’m being arrested. It’s torture pure and simple what happens at #Broadview. I’m ok, though I was thrown to the ground and choked with my pectoral cross. A review of the video shows I was peaceful - did I deserve this?

those of us laid off from Teen Vogue were really fortunate to complete our fundraising goal — the laid-off staffers at VIBE deserve the same support, as Black media outlets and journalists continue to be targeted and discriminated against in “austerity” measures

Some news: tomorrow at 9am, Ted Koppel + CBS Sunday Morning will air a two-part story on the devastating surge of full-time workers being pushed into homelessness.
I'll be interviewed along with two families from There Is No Place for Us. It would mean a lot if you'd watch and help spread the word.

After journalists were expelled for not seeking permission from the federal government to cover immigration proceedings, we sent a letter expressing our concerns.
Then, the Justice Department rescinded the requirement.

Thank you for saying this, because it needs to be said. Anytime there's a scandal, it further undermines our credibility as a profession, and I hate that for all the people who are doing good work.
I just want to say there are a lot of journalists and writers who do real, incredible work on topics that matter while maintaining high standards. Many of them do not have stable employment or recognition from major institutions.

Another, much likelier explanation for his silence is that many men don't view the sexual abuse of underage girls as a crime worth reporting. They don't see it as a crime at all. The violation of women & girls was quite normalized then & it remains so even now.

Reporters covering Trump are not the same reporters assigned to cover the NYC mayor's race. Beat reporters have to develop sources and that takes time so you can't just switch beats with every story. So no, a reporter covering the NYC race is not going to suddenly do a Trump story, and vice versa.
So when Trump is running for president, stories about him are less newsworthy than when Mamdani is running for NYC mayor? Fascinating, continue, you're doing really well.
