Again, you can always detect some faint embarrassment from Democrats when they talk about the ballroom, but “the president demolished a big part of the White House to build himself a palace with bribes from enemy powers” is, by an order of magnitude, the worst corruption scandal in US history

10 years ago, the NBA announced it would relocate its All-Star game out of North Carolina in protest against the state's transphobic "Bathroom Bill" (which accompanied other anti-LGBTQ laws) and now, thanks in enormous part to The New York Times, it's hard to find a Dem who will defend trans people

Dylan Byers: NEW: The Maria Bartiromo backstory, per multiple sources familiar....

Maria Bartiromo wanted to pursue a story related to China and 2020 election voting conspiracies... a major sensitivity for the network given its Dominion and Smartmatic lawsuits.

A Fox Business executive sent a text to Fox Business producers informing them that that story could not go to air.

Bartiromo took a screen shot of the guidance and sent it to senior White House officials.

Fox News leadership learned about that after receiving a call from the White House, which they viewed as a fireable offense.

Fox pulled Bartiromo from air after Aug. 9. She was fired today. I have also learned that her executive producer Patrick Ignozzi was also  fired after the annoucnement.

Maria had resigned her contract with Fox last February.
