I'll just point out that, like Oliver Darcy, I was also not one of the reporters who got a personal background call from Bari Weiss on Sunday giving her side of the 60 Minutes fiasco -- which apparently included her talking smack about correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi.

“Our current president has issued no statement this year in recognition of Martin Luther King Jr. Day. This administration’s only notice of the day was when it announced that it had eliminated this holiday from the list of days with free entry to national parks.”

The only thing more unhinged than Trump threatening war over a Nobel snub is the Republican cabinet too cowardly to declare him the clear and present danger he has become.
Critics warn Trump impeachment is 'not enough' — urge '25th Amendment' removal
President Donald Trump’s latest shot across the bow—a letter to the Prime Minister of Norway that critics say carries an implied threat of war over Greenland following his failure to receive the Nobel Peace Prize — has once again prompted calls for invoking the 25th Amendment to remove him from offi...

"If I could come with some advice, it would be for the Senate & House to start to take control of political power in America because with this erratic & mad behaviour, you have to ask the question, is the President capable of running the US?"

Trump somehow more honest than Vance on this. He agrees they should kill for disrespect!
Q: "Do you believe that deadly force was necessary?"

Trump: "It was highly disrespectful of law enforcement. The woman and her friend were highly disrespectful of law enforcement…Law enforcement should not be in a position where they have to put up with this stuff."

Officers who shatter car windows aren’t being disciplined — they’re being promoted.

One officer who smashed a window in front of a local TV reporter got a senior ICE position overseeing operations on the East Coast.

Thank you to The Tennessee Holler for covering what’s happening when much of the media isn’t. They shared video showing a door being kicked in by ICE agents and agents refusing to produce a warrant when asked. Guns drawn and kids in the house.

I wrote this column about the aggressive pushback our reporters have received for doing their jobs.

Our Reporters Reached Out for Comment. They Were Accused of Stalking and Intimidation.

Our journalists reach out to people they’re writing about to ensure fairness. But in this environment, they’ve found their efforts to do so are more likely to be vilified than appreciated.

Energy bills have increased 13% since Trump took office.

Families have paid an extra $1,200 on goods this year because of his tariffs.

Popular holiday gifts are 26% more expensive this year compared to 2024.

Remember this as Trump calls affordability a "hoax" and a "con job."
