Here's the petition to the WHCA signed by 200+ journalists plus SPJ, NABJ, RTDNA. Not asking for much. Won't get it. messagetowhca.tiiny.site
There is a long tradition of presidents attending the White House Correspondents
Association Dinner. But these are not normal times, and this cannot be business as
usual with the press standing up to applaud the man who attacks them on a daily basis.
We understand that some journalists plan to wear pocket handkerchiefs or lapel pins
with the words of the First Amendment. And continuing in that spirit, we believe the
White House Correspondents Association should take stronger action by issuing – from
the podium – a forceful defense of freedom of the press and condemnation of those
who threaten that freedom, followed by a standing toast to the First Amendment and a
pledge to continue upholding such a critical cornerstone of our democracy. Speak
forcefully, in front of the man who seeks to undermine our country’s long tradition of an
independent, strong, and free press.
We also urge the WHCA to reaffirm, without equivocation, that freedom of the press is
not a partisan issue and that the Association will not normalize this behavior but instead
fight back against any officeholder who has waged systematic war against the
journalists whose work the dinner celebrates.

Did it again. DHS Assistant Secretary tells the Wall Street Journal: “Law enforcement uses ‘reasonable suspicion’ to make arrests, as allowed under the Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.” www.wsj.com/us-news/the-... As I say in this video explainer, that answer would fail the bar exam.

House Democrats could force a vote on impeaching RFK any time they want. Of course it would fail. But do you want to make an issue of it or not?

Dems should strongly consider impeaching RFK Jr if they take back the House — and maybe should campaign on a pledge to do so

What is left to say? www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
In recent days, I operated on two women who were shot by quadcopters while sheltering in their tents near one of the locations, according to the people who brought them in. One was breastfeeding her child when she was hit; the second was pregnant.
Thankfully, both have survived their injuries so far.
These women weren't even seeking aid - they were simply sheltering in areas that are supposedly
"safe" but exposed to indiscriminate fire from the IDF's weaponised hunger apparatus.

They mean to be as insulting to Black people, as dismissive of our lives, as resistance to our status as full citizens in this country as they can be. There is no common ground to be had at the expense of our sisters & daughters’ lives and our dignity as a people. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/17/u...

Another rather wild statement from Murkowski — who provides no explanations as to why she accepted the premise of the deadline if she found it so preposterous. She could have just said I'm a firm no until we figure this stuff out in a month!

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

The point is a simple one. When the foundations of civic democratic America are being systematically gutted by the most reactionary administration at least in modern American history we shld be even less patient than usual with clout chasing lefty pablum making a perverse common cause with reaction.

It's pretty funny that Trump has engineered a geo-political game of chicken between two societies - the US and China - where the winner will be the society most willing to withstand economic pain and inconveience in furtherance of some future national collective goal. Not really a US strong suit!

The final honor guard for Pope Francis included migrants, prisoners, transgender people, the homeless and others selected by the Vicariate of Rome as a symbol of the late pope’s mission of inclusion and outreach. Read more from the funeral: wapo.st/3YdDGqM
“That they should be the ones to welcome Pope Francis’s coffin in the basilica is because these people are those who represented the focus of his mission,” said Father Giulio Albanese, head of missionary cooperation and communications for the Vicariate of Rome. “They are those who live on the peripheries, geographical and existential peripheries.”

It is not unfrequent to hear men declaim loudly upon liberty, who, if we may judge by the whole tenor of their actions, mean nothing else by it but their own liberty, — to oppress without control or the restraint of laws all who are poorer or weaker than themselves. Samuel Adams

If I were Judge Xinis, I would order the government to produce, in her courtroom, officials who were in a position to answer her questions and to do so under oath. Letting DOJ continue to prevaricate and deflect responsibility in written submissions seems ... insufficient at this point.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

If I’m thinking thru the senate rules right (by no means certain), I think a single D senator can force the voting that’s starts tomorrow to last into the beginning of next week by refusing unanimous consent. That can slow things down and allow the backlash to expand.
