They're clearly feeling the heat. Good.

 

What's the matter?  Did Maggie Haberman run and complain to her bosses that too many people on Twitter were being too mean toward her?

Meanwhile, the GOP and the "mainstream media" will apparently stop at nothing to keep another black or brown person from becoming president.

I saw that people were upset with Chuck Todd for ruining the MSNBC coverage on KBJ's  ceremony. I'm not sure why anyone even bothers with that network now.

This is just a [!@#$%^&*] joke. I hate this paper and everything it stands for.

 

ICYMI another twist in this saga.

NEW: A Twitter shareholder has filed a securities fraud lawsuit against Elon Musk, alleging that Musk waited days to declare his purchase of Twitter stock to illegally depress the price so he could buy more shares for less and save around $143 million. https://t.co/UCx4ybhEDc
