Today, via Twitter:

I have been interviewed on tv a gajillion times. I have never been given the questions, much less allowed to approve their scripts! This is bizarre. Fox and Friends is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Trump administration.

ProPublica @ProPublica
In multiple interviews on “Fox & Friends,” former Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt was essentially allowed to dictate the terms for the interview and avoid any difficult questions.

2:22 PM – 27 Nov 2018

We knew a long, long time ago.

Isn’t there a Trump campaign rally chant for this?

Ivanka Trump used personal email for White House business
Ivanka Trump used a personal email account to send hundreds of messages discussing official White House business last year, officials confirm.

A review into her emails revealed she had used her private address to contact government officials.

Ms. Trump sent the emails before she was briefed on the rules, her lawyer says.

Honestly the funniest 2018 result would be: Dems win the majority based on suburbs after reporters spend two years canvassing rural diners

7:06 AM – 14 Nov 2018

The diner interviews will continue unabated for the next two decades, though the red “MAGA” hats will fade with time.

Witness: “This happened.

republicans: “Where’s your corroboration?”

“Make America Great Again” – in Russian.


Yesterday, via Twitter:

Tom Watson @tomwatson
Tough to watch @mitchellreports sputtering angrily about Brennan’s security clearance and public safety when she relentlessly dragged Hillary Clinton over an entirely contrived security issue. Media remains culpable.
