Is it just me, or does it seem the press is actually and completely terrified to report about Donald Trump's physical and mental health the way it would have if anyone else were president?

Q: How many layoffs have you authorized?

TRUMP: It'll be a lot. And it'll be Democrat-oriented.

Huh: TikTok took down my 8-second video featuring this image of Debbie Brockman — the news producer just detained by Trump’s CBP agents — saying it violates the “joy of TikTok”

It’s wild the agents who have videographers following them never seem to have footage of what they claim those they are arresting did

An exchange in tonight's VA Gov debate:

AS: My opponent has previously said that she does not think gay couples should be allowed to marry.

WES: That’s not discrimination!

AS: She said that she is, quote-unquote, morally opposed to same-sex marriage.

WES: That’s not discrimination! (1/2)

This is some wild shit. I was in Catholic youth group back in the day, but it was just an excuse to hang out with girls on a school night and go on weekend trips where people hooked up after lights out.

Ok everyone, I’m assigning you your resistance homework for the week.

Everyone ready?

Do something silly that makes you smile. I just waved at a dog that had its head out the car window because it made me happy. Don’t let the assholes take your joy.

The job of a Washington Post editor today is to distort the facts—including about incidents from the recent past that were well documented by the old Washington Post—and to be seen distorting information like that, to curry favor with the Trump regime.

It’s sad, a real loss. But that’s what it is.

I spent more than a decade at The Post. It was good to me and I was proud to work there. I’ve largely refrained from being critical since I left. But this framing of the special counsel probe is embarrassing and flatly wrong. Stunning, but not. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

It's actual notice of what conduct does and does not fall under a given LEO's permissible activities; all other give rise to a 1983 action. Such serves to preempt any claim of qualified immunity, as it serves as actual knowledge of the illegality of certain actions.

Ellis rules that the plaintiffs have standing for their case. She cites the "ongoing and sustained record of conduct" by federal agents gathered over the last month.

She further finds the plaintiffs have plausibly shown feds have "frustrated" efforts to "protect journalist safety."
