Now more than ever, the WH press corps needs to stop pretending that the Trump press briefing is a legit govt exercise instead of propaganda. I'd say avoid it at all costs but if you insist on going, front load questions with facts, be persistent AND stand up for your fellow reporters.

1. Trump’s new White House press secretary Katie Zacharia is a prolific user of Truth Social where she regularly promoted Pizzagate and QAnon conspiracies, accusing elites in the Democratic Party and Hollywood of running child sex rings and eating people.

Trump is spending $1,800,000,000 on a ballroom and his vanity projects. Instead, that money could pay for: 🍎607,000,000 school lunches 💡12,000,000 electric bills for a month 🩺88,000 Veterans medical expenses this year 🥪429,500 Americans’ SNAP benefits for a year Priorities.

Enten unpacks how Trump has lost 27 points of net approval among white non-college voters over the last two years, and in fact now is "at the lowest of any previous Republican president at this point in his second term among white non-college voters"

Yes!! Yes!! “ABC, CBS, Fox News and NBC — said on Monday that they would suspend those efforts, which entail distributing footage that is carried by news organizations worldwide.”

The huge opportunity to redefine what Democrats stand for is lost. After 10 long years, the persona of the Democratic party has been defined by Donald Trump. The party has devolved into The Party of Trump Opposition. In the mind of the public, when Trump is gone, Democrats will represent nothing.

I don’t have a good feeling about Susan Collins losing her R Senate seat. I just listened to her deftly handling questions from reporters and constituents… it’s easy to underestimate her political skills, and always has been.

You’re right—that plane shouldn’t have gone there. That’s my fault, and I should have made sure there wasn’t a terminal in the landing path. Would you like me to call emergency services, or assist with lining up takeoffs?

With 6 weeks to until the November election, and Trump has no ‘juice’. Nothing in the tank. Politically, he’s running on fumes. Thus, his instinct to perpetually spawn distractions is about to kick into overdrive. I think banning CNN, MSNow from the White House is part of it. Prepare. For. Chaos.

It is not humiliating for him, since he has no sense of dignity, but it is humiliating for the rest of us that the president of the United States serves as a subordinate press officer of the Kremlin. (1/2)
