This is the way to do it.
This is what the media is supposed to do: hold those in power accountable, and when they don't answer the question cut them off, ask them again to answer the question, and if not: end of interview.
No time for bullshitters. Over and out.
#ShutDownTrumpfascists
Just as a reminder:
This administration has over 30 people who used to work for a network that had to pay $747 million for lying about the 2020 election.
The firehose of easily disprovable lies from Trump and his allies continues to get worse each month, with one statement after another completely untethered from reality, which is why it is so important for them to take ownership and control of media platforms & intimidate others.
Giving up? LOL. We're just getting started.

The Treasury Secretary declares himself to be pro-monarchy, and promises to punish the entire country if the people exercise their First Amendment rights.
JUST IN: Deputy Assistant to the President and "Counterterrorism Czar" Sebastian Gorka says anyone advocating for due process for Kilmar Abrego Garcia could be viewed as "aiding and abetting a terrorist" and be federally charged. (h/t Philip Germain)
In retrospect, I made a huge mistake being too poor 20 years ago to buy a home. 🫠
Hearing about more students having their I-20 cancelled in SEVIS. This is designed to leave the US with zero international students.
It’s an assault on freedom, on academia, on travel and learning and students and colleges and families and it breaks promises made and steals money already paid.
It is becoming unbelievably difficult to stay both informed and sane
potential message: the GOP just raised taxes by $6 trillion
potential message: the GOP is kidnapping and trafficking people for things they MIGHT say
dem message: the GOP might be insider trading—a thing you associate nancy pelosi with—and we're sending them a nice letter asking them for evidence
All Of This….

As a kamaʻāina born and raised in Honolulu, I’d like to know why Rep. Ed Case, representing a deep blue district, was one of only four Democrats to join Republicans in voting for a bill that could keep millions of citizens from voting—especially married women.

My dear friends: Your vote is precious, almost sacred. It is the most powerful nonviolent tool we have to create a more perfect union. Rep. John Lewis Civil rights icon who served in Congress for more than three decades
4 Dem Reps are:
Traitors to democracy. Traitors to the constitution.
Traitors to their constituents.
Traitors to women.
Traitors to trans people.
Traitors to young & elderly voters.
Traitors to America.

And Ed Case HI
Call your Senators now! The voter suppression bill, The SAVE Act, passed the House. The House rep “Dems” that voted for it: Jared Golden (Maine), Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (Wash.), Henry Cuellar (Texas) and Ed Case (Hawaii). #callyoursenator #votersuppression #SAVEActhurtsus
That's nice. Why the hell did you vote for the SAVE Act? Every woman in your district now knows that you're okay w/disenfranchising them. I'm glad you're not my representative. If you were, I'd be campaigning for whoever decides to primary you. SHAME.

It is unconscionable that Gluesenkamp Perez (WA) voted against the women in our nation and sided with the Republicans.
Her next town hall will be held on Thursday, April 24, 2025 at 5:00 p.m. at the Luepke Community Center’s Community Room at 1009 E. McLoughlin Blvd., Vancouver, WA 98663.
Vancouver and Clark County, I hope to see you there. This is disgraceful and she needs to hear from us about it.
The only record you set straight is that you have no respect for women voters. What you did is a shanda. Every woman in your district now knows that you're okay w/disenfranchising them. I'm glad you're not my representative. If you were, I'd be campaigning for whoever decides to primary you. SHAME.
The Trump administration has no idea how globalization works. For example: Coca-Cola! American-made, right? Sure. Except Coca-Cola uses aluminum cans and aluminum has to be sourced. This is just one example of 2nd- and 3rd-order effects. It will crash the U.S. economy.
Most coffee in the U.S. comes from Brazil and Colombia, both with 10% tariffs now. But that's just the coffee beans. Who knows where the packaging (which is typically more expensive) comes from.
Bottom line: Your coffee is getting more expensive, too.
Waiting to see how this all shakes out, but these tariffs could be an extinction-level event for the U.S. tea industry. These are the top tea exporters to the U.S., ranked by their new tariffs.
Vietnam: 46%
Sri Lanka: 44%
China: 34%
Taiwan: 32%
India: 26%
Japan: 24%
Argentina: 10%
Kenya: 10%
It's a regionalism.
Every accusation is a confession of something he's doing or something he wants to be doing.
Trump did THIS! 🖕
Almost half of the country’s health insurance now rests in the hands of a man who once sold miracle pills — with zero proof they worked — on daytime TV.
