Another attack on a black journalist, intimidation of the entire press pool and #PressFreedom. Credit to Rachel Scott for her courage and persistence. Also admirable and notable that Disney-ABC leadership has continued to support Scott.

On the significant resources and legal challenges involved in investigative journalism

A story linking Donald #Trump to Jeffrey #Epstein required six months and 20 staff. Trump attempted to sue the Wall Street Journal for $10bn, but the lawsuit was dismissed as he could not prove actual malice. A major challenge for journalists today is pre-publication legal threats, including injunctions and SLAPPs, which can intimidate and tie up resources.

He called her "baby." Allegedly worse. Two forensic lip readers confirmed it independently. White House hasn't denied it. A ribbon-cutting. During a war. This is the catalog, not the aberration. #QueerNews #PressFreedom #LGBTQIA #WomensRights

What Survives the Morning: Baby. Bitch. Nuke. The Ornamental Presidency at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool.

He called her "baby." Then allegedly worse — two forensic lip readers, both profoundly deaf since birth, reviewed the footage independently and reached the same conclusion. The White House has not denied it. A ribbon-cutting for a reflecting pool. During a war. While gas prices climbed. This is the catalog, not the aberration.

This was a ribbon-cutting for a reflecting pool. During a war in Iran. While gas prices spiked. While the same man threatened nuclear weapons from the same podium.
"Piggy." "Stupid." "Baby." This is the catalog, not the aberration. Today's Gathering breaks down the full damage:
