Journalists who are still attending the WHCD this year don't seem to get just how much things have changed. It isn't 1998. You're not going to pose for cute photos with the West Wing stars at "nerd prom." You're enabling a regime who's assaulting your own profession & you're torching your career.

Red Lobster never released a commercial with a jingle that went “Shrimply having a wonderful Fishmastime.” That’s why they went bankrupt.

Corporate media keeps repeating daily that Democrats have a an "identity crisis." In reality, we do NOT. We know exactly what we stand for and polls show most Americans agree with us on key issues from healthcare to getting big $ out of politics. But we do have a leadership crisis. That is the issue

if you're following TX redistricting news and you saw republicans won't let democrats who left the state get paid through direct deposit and you saw jokes that they barely get paid anyway and you're wondering why, it's because TX is set up so only well-off people can afford to be state lawmakers

Republicans thought they were getting people who would expose the Deep State pedophiles with Trump, Bongino and Patel. Instead, they got their protectors. Maxwell just got rewarded with a nicer prison, and in exchange, the pedophiles stay concealed. Hell of a legacy, fellas.

We need the state of NY to charge Ghislaine Maxwell for her crimes trafficking children in NY with Jeffrey Epstein so that Trump's offer of a pardon won't protect her. She is a serial child rapist who lured 14 year olds to have sex with Epstein. But Trump would pardon her if she will help him.

When people lie this badly it is so easy to just be like “wow, tell me how one of the people you know died from a vaccine,” bc it’s obviously a lie & he won’t be able to answer bc it’s a lie. I’m not sure why nobody does that to these people? The tiniest amount of pushback would make them fall apart

Lots of Republicans are going to lose their seats over this budget - federal, state, and local. It will not cost Trump anything, other than finally some House oversight his last 2 years maybe. Which is how these things always go with Trump - others always pay for his sins.
