Not one reporter asked about the Executive Orders targeting Chris Krebs & Miles Taylor during today’s Cabinet press conference. Not one. A president using DOJ to punish those who spoke out? That’s banana republic territory. I waited. The question never came. Why? Has the fear already taken hold?

The #lunaticInChief is the first president in living memory to use his now unchecked executive powers for personal vendettas - more akin to despots and Mafia bosses. I can't remember a time where this was considered the image of a "great America". #stopTheMadness and #saveTheUS before it's too late.

That cabinet meeting was a welcome to Jesus with palm fronds and alleluias. I listened for 5 minutes, heard the accolades and gushes of praise for Trump and off it went. Not Cabinet Secretaries, teenagers dating.

Needed to check for crotch damp patches. Utterly pathetic...all for grift and proximity to power. They don't care how they appear, a valueless, unprincipled, dishonest bunch of oppportunists and lickspittles

State-run media, much? Good news though. The judge ruled that AP has to be allowed in the White House press conference room if other journalists are allowed. So they can't keep them out, but I doubt maga barbie will take any questions from them.

Well, in some defense of my colleagues — of which there are fewer because people don’t like paying for news, so…—it has been an overwhelming onslaught of developments. It ain’t been lost on all and I expect to see more stories as other officials react.

Aleady past banana republic. We're into crazy batshit-bully land. Press has to choose between bad options. They know they'll be kicked out and investigated if they do ask. What does it matter if they ask anyway? The answer is always a moving target and a lie. The WH is not a reliable source of info.

Exactly who is bullying these formerly respected law firms to cave so easily to pressure? Is is the DoJ or WH or both? How are the threats /are twisting being made? These cowards and their methods should be exposed? This is a huge threat and law firms owe the public and courts to expose them!

Well mostly because at this point, the chairs in the briefing room have been so rearranged that every "reporter" in there thinks the tariffs were "manly"...somehow...so probably not gonna get a lot of "those" kinda questions

It's not the same press pool now. It's full of sycophants like Marjory Taylor Green's boytoy, Newsmax, OANN, and other far right sources. They may allow MSM in, but it doesn't mean they get called on. It's more like Trump fluffing now.

I understand that sentiment. There are many others who feel the same. The brave Jan6 Select Committee members, for example. After Trump talked about how much he disliked them, they started receiving 1000s of threatening phone calls, emails, ect. Many had to install expensive security systems.

Of course not! That’s because there are no longer any real reporters in that room 😡 The traitor felon told his audience that he was all about revenge… against anyone and everyone who has dared to tell the truth about him and his crimes

Whoever would dare to ask that question would never be called upon to ask another one. They would also risk being labled as a fake news reporter. Patriots need the courage to do even the most mundane things in an authoritarian environment. Fear and cowardice rule the day in DC.

More importantly, why aren't senators and reps asking very pointed questions about this and so, so much more? I hope they all live long enough to see the full extent of what they've wrought, and then have to explain to their children and grandchildren why they didn't stand up for democracy.

Lawrence O’Donnell and Andrew Weissman did a good job on this topic tonight. What the felon is doing is scary. Going after people from his first term to scare everyone in his second term.

This is a side effect of the administration violating yet another norm by trying to control the makeup of the press corps given access to the “President”. Shameless and unacceptable.

Vote for the Democrats to regain power in the House of Representatives and the Senate so not only will they impeach Bondi for lying during her confirmation hearing, as did the other Trump appointees during theirs, but they will also indict her. Trump and his entire corrupt administration must go!

I don't know how many Republican Senators are up for re-election in 2026, but if we managed to vote out the ones who are up then, it just might make the remaining Senate Republicans nervous about keeping THEIR jobs so they'll cooperate with the Democrats to impeach Trump, Vance and a few others.

why isn’t anyone talking to Philip Low, Elon Musks x-Best Friend that actually has the courage and the balls to Stand up to him? Someone needs to bring more attention to his January posts about Elon Musks plan and ultimate goals! I can’t believe you all missed him, and WE THE PEOPLE know

I didn’t realize he was going after Chris Krebs too! Krebs is brilliant & I bet he could figure out exactly what Musk & his college flunky hackers did in 2024. Maybe that’s why the fake President is retaliating, he doesn’t want everyone putting the pieces together on his nonstop crime spree.

The 4th Estate was invaded long ago. The corrupt knew that if they could gain control of the media, they could set the narrative & have the power to take control of government & ultimately rule. There are some good journalists. Support them.

bsky.app/profile/dian... Listen to Senator Murphy, he explains it all!!! 🔥🔥🔥

DianePE@dianepe.bsky.social

Wow!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥 #SenatorMurphy lays out how Trump’s Abuse of Power is destroying our democracy Right Now!!!! We must act immediately to stop this before it’s too late!!! Must Watch! Pass it on! #Resist

☎️BE AWARE AMERICA! We have entered AUTOCRACY MODE mandated and directed by the fake president orange psycho Trump. ☎️WE THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE POWER MUST GET RID OF THE IMPOSTERS TRESPASSING OUR WH ASAP B4 THE SLAUGHTER BEGINS! ☎️4/19/25 WE MUST STORM WASHINGTON 2 PROTEST AGAINST THEM MONSTERS🙏

We don’t have reporters anymore. We have messengers for the MAGA fascists and nothing more. Sowing distrust in media and other institutions is in the playbook. Your party are the biggest hateful hypocrites and liars in this country.

EVERY SINGLE Republican & Democrat has refused to publish the complete unredacted #JeffreyEpsteinClientList & #GhislaineMaxwellClientList No journalist has ever asked this question of a politician Remember this the next time they pretend to care about fighting corruption

a judge JUST ruled Mohamed Khalid was able to be deported when his only crime was protesting, so by the way, the first amendment no longer applies to noncitizens, AND protesting is a deportable crime.

Even if those gathered weren't in a relationship with somebody in Trump's world (which they are), you couldn't possibly have the time to ask about EVERYTHING going wrong. There are only so many hours in a day! Signalgate, crashing stock market, continuous banana Republic shit. Dark times

News media led themselves to their deaths. No one trusts them and rightfully so. This is exactly what MAGA wanted. Now they scramble just to post a headline they think might capture attention instead of important news that isn’t as sexy to capture eyes.

And yet the best reporting I see comes from places without "access." Ex: Judd Legums' Popular Information, Wired, and Talking Points Memo. What is the point of sitting in the WH press room and letting that woman lie to you- thus generating sound bites for Fox?

I'm actually willing to believe we're all just overwhelmed by ALL THE HORRIBLE SHIT THAT'S HAPPENING. The secret chat with Jeffrey Goldberg is off the radar already. The zone is well and truly flooded.

I don't know who is sitting in those briefings - I could only watch the debacle for a short time - but each time he is there lying and spluttering, they treat him like their favorite Uncle. Or hardly ask him anything.

Krebs and Taylor are all of us. Hiw long will it he before he sicks the DOJ on us for saying we think he lost the 2020 election? I mean he could do the same to any of us that report the fact that Trump lost the 2020 election.

This is when the media should resist and stand up. African Americans don't want their history erased by maga. Many of them paid wirh their lives. They resisted, they stood up.

"This is NOT what we voted for." "We voted for a self-confessed sexual predator, convicted felon, adjudicated rapist, insurrectionist, pathological liar, 6 times bankrupt. THAT'S what we voted for. But not this!"

The GOP dictatorship has arrived and it seems that the so-called press is definitely afraid. Considering the level of GOP crime in recent days, that fear may be justified. The suspension of Habeus Corpus and the bodily shipment of people to the gulag in El Salvador is serious! #USDemocracy

BTW: Continuing to use the tag "#USDemocracy" is perhaps a misnomer while living under the GOP dictatorship? Nobody wants to recognize the GOP dictatorship? If I disappear, fall out a window, get hit by a bus, or commit suicide, it was not by my own choice.
