New approach: If a reporter is interrupted, harassed, insulted, or abused, the press should exit the room. Period. If Trump refuses to answer a legitimate news question or claims it was a dumb question, every other reporter must ask the same question until Trump tires out or answers.

No network should broadcast a single Trump or Vance event, speech or press conference live until his ban targeting specific media companies for their coverage is lifted. At some point you have to stop limiting your response to lawsuits and go on offense to defend the First Amend.

If the money Trump claims to pay is tied to an election result, it isn’t a “cash payment” or “dividend” or “rebate” or “stimulus.” It is a bribe. Plain and simple. Calling it anything else accepts a false premise and helps Trump and Republicans cover up how corrupt it truly is.

Handwritten notecard. Prompt at the top asks: What object was most devastating for you to lose, and how have you been coping? Answer below: Dentures.
