New Gallup poll finds ONLY 29% now satisfied with nation’s direction-the lowest since January. And new Quinnipiac poll finds Trump with pathetic 38% approval rating. BUT corporate media will ignore these polls and continue to cover Trump like he is not the FAILURE that he is!

Every single day Trump sets the agenda for the media. Today's it's his announcement that the US military will be attacking Portland. Why? All to stop Americans and the media from asking more questions about the Jeffrey Epstein files and his involvement in a massive child sex ring.

REMINDER: It's now 251 days since Trump was sworn in but he has still NOT released the complete Jeffrey Epstein file. What is in the file Trump does NOT want us to see?!

Dozens of journalists were assaulted by law enforcement in Los Angeles this weekend. The press were just doing their job -- a sacred one explicitly protected by law. Press rights orgs will follow up collectively tomorrow. Tonight, I emailed evidence to local/state/federal officials. My sign off:
I recognize this is an exceedingly difficult time and for many of you this is a crisis on several levels. I respect those challenges and I don't consider press rights superior to the rights of others. However, all other rights depend on press rights. We cannot allow them to be chilled. This was explained by civil rights icon and longtime congressmember John Lewis:

"If it hadn't been for the media, for brave, courageous journalists, the civil rights movement would have been like a bird without wings."

Democracy cannot function without an informed public. The public cannot be informed without a free press. It is your shared responsibility to ensure press are able to do their job. Several of you have been supportive over the years and I thank you for that. But your support is now needed more than ever. Please ensure your teams are aware of these egregious violations and ensure you take all possible steps to protect the press, and thereby the public and our country itself.

Sincerely,
Adam Rose
Press Rights Chair

You know when things were pretty quiet and peaceful in L.A.? Before ICE started arresting residents who were bothering no one and going to their jobs. And before DHS and National Guard troops showed up and made the situation worse. Of course Trump and Stephen Miller want the situation to get worse.
