Yes please! More of this! Journalists are no longer reporting. They’re being stenographers and feeding Trump’s narcisstic ego: open.substack.com/pub/dearlste...

SIT DOWN AND SHUT UP, LEGACY MEDIA

You are dangerous, and as a lifelong journalist, I am DONE with you ...

AZ AG Mayes: If I have to, I’ll take Speaker Johnson to court. There's no legitimate reason for him to refuse to swear her in right now. And it's not fair for Mike Johnson to be holding the state of Arizona hostage because he doesn't want to release the Epstein files.

Heard about this earlier, and my jaw didn’t drop. You know who else isn’t surprised? Pretty much every Republican.

As someone who’s been a frequent target, none of this shocks me. I don’t expect real consequences from the right because I doubt today is the first day they heard about it.

Literally nothing coming from the Pentagon, DHS, or DOJ should be considered credible unless backed up by an independent source outside of government. (This, for the record, is a huge problem!)

Naturally, the only prominent Republican to address the vile comments from the Young Republicans while refusing to condemn them was JD Vance.

But that’s only because Ron Desantis hasn’t weighed in yet.

How many government workers will lose their jobs and, even worse their homes, just so Republicans can protect Trump and his pedophile posse?

Greg Bovino, Kristi Noem, and DHS need to answer for their unchecked attacks on Chicago residents.

ICE is an out-of-control danger to our peaceful communities.

The images from the Sun-Times today speak for themselves.

They’re freaking out!!!

Trump’s cabinet secretaries falsely claim Dems are keeping the government closed because of the “No Kings” mass protests, and Mike Johnson calls it the “hate America rally.”

The truth is: we love America, but we hate tyrants. That’s why we’re doing this.

See you Saturday.
