The amount of fragile habitat destruction is going to be off the charts. Plus goodbye to the public’s ability to walk in silence in a national forest.

Yes, they are still honoring the TV press pool boycott, which is in effect until the White House honors the judge's order to restore press access to CNN, MS NOW and Politico.

Putting aside the 1st Amendment implications…it’s not like Convicted Felon Donald Trump tells the truth when the press is at the White House anyway.

Hey, News Outlets! How about just ignoring Donald Trump? It will drive him crazy. His parents never gave him enough attention, so he is still a thirsty brat who needs CONSTANT attention. Start the news with "Trump lied again today" and then move on to news about people/things that are interesting.

NOTE: If you use cliched, decades-old corporate consulting jargon like “thinking outside the box,” you are not a person who is currently thinking outside the box.

Please stop saying “lockdowns.” There were never true lockdowns in the US, and it fuels far right narratives to repeat this inaccurate statement. You can say closures, you can say restrictions, or better, you can say public health measures which saved many lives.

I bet Jeanine Pirro was eager to drop the case before the judge asked to see grand jury transcripts, which would probably contain evidence to disbar her.

Let’s not forget that this illegal Reflecting Pool indictment was also overseen by Todd Blanche. He could have stopped this at any time, but he was a corrupt and willing accomplice to this fraud upon the court. How can any decent person possibly vote for this man as AG?

Interesting. McConnell’s “proof of life” photo dropped shortly after this segment. 🤔 Gov. Beshear says Republicans changed the law to stop him from appointing a U.S. senator if a vacancy occurs. He argues the Kentucky Constitution gives him that authority and says he’s ready to fight it in court.

Jennifer Erin Valent: It doesn’t surprise me that Trump is leaving a wake of destruction. That’s who he is. What does astonish me is how many people are aiding and abetting him, willfully participating in betraying every high ideal our country is founded on, wreaking havoc across the globe.

Today marks 250 years since a small group of newspaper editors, farmers, and soldiers signed a document declaring our nation's independence — a truth that feels self-evident now but was revolutionary then.
What a privilege us Americans have, to live in a nation that every one of its inhabitants can shape. What an honor us New Yorkers have, to look out over our city's waters from the shores where so many Americans bravely entered their country for the first time.
Today and all days, let us remember that patriotism is not pretending our nation is without flaws. Patriotism is every act of righteous dissent — because loving our country means fighting for the best version of it.
Happy Fourth of July, New York City.
