NEWS:
Making this letter I sent to @RTCACapitolHill @ReedReports @AllisonMPecorin last year public for the first time, because the TV Networks are now retaliating against my team.

"As you now know, I asked because The LCB intended to use the ‘review’ as an opportunity to raise complaints of being lied to, harassed and bullied by Mr. Mastrian who — according to documents The LCB shared with you — seems to have a history of discriminating against minorities hired by The LCB."

In response to my request for an On the Record meeting with @RTCACapitolHill after a month and a half of them illegally shutting my Bureau down, they responded that they'll only meet with me Off the Record.

How dare these TV Networks - @scrippsnews @ABC @Disney @CNN @NBCNews @MSNOWNews demand transparency from a subject ever again.

I'm now demanding to be put in touch with each of their legal departments and their personal lawyers.

Without our team there is no Ask a Pol.

"I turned it off, unfortunately," the US Senate Chaplain tells me of the @nyknicks come-from-behind win. "At halftime, 29 points down, there's no way, no way they'll ever come back from a score like that."

@nyknicks But by the grace of God (and late assignments) there go I.

Haven’t had a weekend since May 1st — when my Capitol Hill Bureau was shuttered without warning and without pointing to a single rule violation by @RTCACapitolHill @ReedReports @scrippsnews @frankthorp @ryanobles @NBCNews @AllisonMPecorin @ABC @abcnews @Disney

Made for TV: real reporters don’t attack other reporters livelihoods.

The Honorable Jennifer A. Hemingway, US Senate Sergeant at Arms:

"Since 2012, I’ve run The LCB — a regionally-focused national wire service that’s delivered
tailored political coverage to 73+ million individual Americans, including listeners of WLRN’s
Florida Roundup, readers of Orlando Weekly and listeners across the DMV — WAMU here in
DC, Virginia Public Radio and WYPR in Baltimore. Over my two decades covering Congress,
I’ve personally trained 50+ interns. In the midst of today’s AI revolution, The LCB’s evolved into
a hub for independent journalists where I mentor, coach and train reporters on how to be their
own brands and run their own outlets, whether on Substack, YouTube or traditional broadcast
outlets. At The LCB, we seek partnerships more than we care about paydays; collaborations
more than dollars and cents..." https://t.co/tpG0CBID9G

"Dear Ranking Member @SenPadilla,

This is my 20th year covering Congress, including for Sacramento’s Capital Public Radio, San Diego’s KPBS and San Francisco’s KQED. My niche is cutting through the political noise by tailoring Congressional coverage to local audiences coast to coast via my Bureau, The LCB — a regionally-focused national wire service that’s reached 73+ million individual Americans..." https://t.co/tpG0CBID9G
