Any time I see a female reporter ask Trump a question, he just berates her for a few minutes.
IT IS NOT OK FOR A MAN TO TALK DOWN TO A WOMAN LIKE THAT!

Calling the press “fake news” is harmful. Calling them “seditious, perhaps even treasonous” for publishing reporting is something else entirely. Treason is a capital crime. Suggesting journalists should face it for exercising their First Amendment rights and doing their jobs is dangerous.

Hiding his health reports.
Trump & his propaganda team swear they are the "most transparent WH in US history"
They ARE NOT!
• Hiding his tax returns
• Hiding her immigration records
• Hiding the Epstein files
• Hiding the narcoboat video
• Won't even release the WH visitors logs
And this is just the tip of the iceberg

What makes their tactics any different from criminals? Criminals also don’t uphold the law and respect rights. Indeed,it is altogether possible that these are the worst and most dangerous people in our society. Other criminals tend to assault people, these maskers kidnap, imprison & disappear people

Immigrants ‘plucked out of line’ at citizenship ceremony at Faneuil Hall “the cradle of liberty”.
If you ever claimed you want immigrants to do it the right way, this should outrage you. On the other hand, If you think this was okay, you need to come to terms with your white nationalist views.

As others have remarked, this is exactly the line Andreessen Horowitz and others have been pushing.
There's a whole Silicon Valley movement toward military contracts (because that's where the money is).
These editorials read like a full-on ad campaign for tech's next big unicorn: war.

A federal judge was righteously furious after ICE hauled a hungry migrant into her court. She forced them to feed the woman and then released her, blasting the system's cruel and inhumane treatment. This is the brutal reality of immigration enforcement.

Please don't ANYBODY post "Well, how much worse can it get?" Consider just who's going to pick her replacement (if she's in fact ousted...)!
The Trump administration is imploding with scandal again. They're now scrambling to replace Homeland Security Secretary Noem amid her alleged affair with Lewandowski. So much for their touted "family values" – it's pure chaos and hypocrisy.
Trump Aides Float ICE Barbie Replacements as Scandals Spiral
One White House source said they heard Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is “about to leave.”

It is absolutely wild that the guy who won’t stop yelling about law and order is now personally stepping in to keep January 6 documents hidden from the police officers who were attacked that day. He knows exactly what’s in those files and he is terrified the country will see it.

Before there was Union Station, there was La Grande Station, LA's main railway hub from 1893 to 1939. Located at 2nd and Santa Fe on the LA River, it was smaller but equally ornate, with a mashup of Spanish Colonial, Art Deco, Moorish and Mission Revival styles.
