Almost three years ago, my editor called me early one November morning. A wildfire had sparked near a town called Paradise, he said. Could I go? (1/13)

A publisher who lays off a reporter whose pen is freezing because she's covering a frigid war zone while dodging missiles is not an editor you want to work for, in a more perfect world

The Secretary of Homeland Security is asserting that the Deputy White House Chief of Staff ultimately bears responsibility for the murder of two American citizens, which is something that would normally generate a dozen congressional inquiries.

Private Autopsy Shows Renee Good Was Shot at Least 3 Times, Lawyers Say

If this is accurate, Good was killed by a bullet fired after there was any conceivable argument Agent Ross was in the path of her vehicle, which means there was no legal justification for using deadly force. But DOJ says there’s no reason to investigate.

And it says the 2 officials were briefed - briefed by whom? They won't name who briefed the US officials or the names of the US officials pretty much sums up a cover up.

Has any reporter done a deep dive into two of the most powerful people in Washington DC who seem determined not to use that power or even comment on current events?

Mike Johnson and John Thune could stop virtually all of the current chaos simply by putting their hands back on the wheel.

Didn't they originally say he was treated and released that day? You don't release someone with internal bleeding.

Michelle Obama always keeps it real. That’s why we love her.

This is how a decent and good person speaks about other decent and good people who died from a tragic murder.

More than 75% of homes across the U.S. are unaffordable, study finds Homeownership can feel like a luxury when only a sliver of the country's housing market is affordable for most Americans, Bankrate analyst says.

Yet House Republicans just killed the first comprehensive (and bipartisan!!) housing package of the last few DECADES

The America First guy has brought in 566 foreign workers during his 5 years in office to work at his companies instead of hiring Americans. And counting.

What are you talking about? Where did I say that? I was specifically talking about childcare. And childcare so you can work should not cost half of your income.

Since conservative feminism doesn't actually exist they are just blaming all women for ruining the workplace? In what way since we still get less pay than men, have no paid leave or a measly 6 weeks for birthing a baby; no paid childcare so half of our income goes toward taking care of our children.

Where is the Japanese investment as of today? Have they invested anything (certainly not billions) or are you just repeating the WH's talking points without any actual journalism?

Boy, North Carolina Republicans sure don't want the attached story to circulate. I sure hope that this stupid threat from their spokesperson doesn't boomerang on them and have a lot more people read and share the story, which once again, is conveniently attached below. That would be a shame.

I’m still shocked that stories like this which come out daily still get largely ignored. The most corrupt person to ever hold any public office in US history. I will keep posting them every day and try to amplify them, even when most media doesn’t care. www.wsj.com/finance/curr...

Tax Day Is Met With Tea Parties (Published 2009)

Here's a gift link to the New York Times' coverage of the initial Tea Party rallies in April 2009 which inspired the media to treat it like a massive movement.

Check out how tiny the crowds were:

Philly: 200
DC: "several hundred"
Boston: 500
Austin: 1,000
Houston: 2,000

@davidmuir-abc.bsky.social @kristenwelker.bsky.social @morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social @nytimes.com @kaitlancollins.bsky.social embarrassing to call yourselves journalists - you should be outraged both as an American and a journalist. I won't tag CBS as Weiss has sent them over the cliff.

Are there any journalists there? Hello? Any push back at all? Remember Jimmy Kimmel? How about Bondi telling Meta to take down apps they don't like? How about revoking visas for posting negative Kirk comments?
