The Two Press Corps
American reporter: Mr. President, Iran says it now controls the Strait of Hormuz. Your response?
Trump: Which news agency are you with?
Reporter: Reuters, sir.
Trump: Fake news.
Reporter: Thank you, Mr. President.
The reporter sits down. The next hand goes up with a question about the White House ballroom.
Later the same afternoon.
European reporter: Mr. President, Iran says it controls the Strait of Hormuz. Tanker traffic is down forty percent. What is your plan?
Trump: Which agency are you with?
Reporter: Deutsche Presse-Agentur. And the question stands.
Trump: Fake news. Total fake news.
Reporter: The shipping data comes from your own Department of Energy, sir. Are they fake news too?
Trump: Next question.
Reporter: That was the next question.
Two reporters, same question, same non-answer. The difference is what happened next. One said thank you and sat down. The other stayed standing and asked again. Access is not journalism. Follow-up questions are.
BREAKING:
Thomas Massie has just suggested introducing a "discharge petition" in Congress to force @realDonaldTrump to give out his promised $5k dividends BEFORE the Midterm Election.
His intent would be to see how many Republican officials actually sign on to the idea.
Trump betrayed the American people for Israel.
Betrayal in marriage is called CHEATING.
Betrayal in business is called EMBEZZLEMENT.
But when a president betrays the people he was elected to serve for the interests of another country, there is a word for that:
TREACHERY.
And that is UNFORGIVABLE.
🚨 SON DAKİKA: Yüzlerce kişi, İngiltere'nin Manchester kentinde israilin Gazze’ye yönelik yaptığı soykırıma karşı tüm insanlığın ayağa kalkması için toplandı
Periodistas despedidos del histórico The Washington Post por Jeff Bezos, han creado un nuevo periódico para luchar contra la desinformación y los bulos de la era Trump.
La era donde las élites millonarias quieren controlar el mundo. No hay que rendirse.
James Talarico on the Epstein Files: “When did pedophilia become a partisan issue? When did holding sexual abusers accountable become controversial? We have a moral obligation to continue to shine a spotlight on this abuse, on this pedophile ring until every name is exposed, until every survivor gets the justice they deserve”
Republicans announce they are voting for James Talarico over Ken Paxton:
“Sometimes party loyalty demands too much, and this is one of those times.”
“There's only really one person in this race that has the integrity I'm looking for in a public servant — and that's James Talarico."
“A young man of integrity and character.”
“The more and more I've learned about James, the more excited I am about his campaign.”
James Talarico: “I don’t take money from data centers. I don’t take any corporate PAC money. I answer to the people of Texas. If data centers can’t meet the demands of the people in these communities, if they can’t pay for their own energy, if they can’t recycle their own water, then they shouldn’t be built. Period. Full stop. We cannot let AI become another arena where billionaires write the rules for the rest of us”
@atrupar Making it more clear, if it was necessary, that it's a bribe.
You keep the GOP in power, or I'll keep the money.
Of course, it's bullshit anyway - he's never sending any money to anyone other than his billionaire friends. But still, call the MF out.
Hillary Clinton: "I love Israel and I hate Netanyahu's government and his policies."
It's not Netanyahu's policies. It's Israel's policies - from government to opposition, from "moderates" to extremists.
And "loving Israel" while "hating Netanyahu" is just a way to avoid admitting the truth:
Israel's genocidal society - not just its leader - is responsible for genocide.
@RpsAgainstTrump Trump is getting dangerously desperate because he knows the Democrats will release the Epstein Files and publicly investigate the crimes he has committed in office.
A cornered rat is dangerous.
Sanctions against settlement goods are welcome, but they must only be a first step.
Britain must end all military cooperation, all intelligence sharing, and all forms of complicity in Israel’s apartheid, occupation and genocide.
