- Beleaguered WaPo Staffers Reportedly Consider Recruiting Tom Hanks to Save Their Jobs
Photo by Brent N. Clarke/Invision/AP Staffers at The Washington Post “have been brainstorming for days” on how to convince owner Jeff Bezos to reverse course on looming layoffs, including considering recruiting some Hollywood star power to lobby for their cause, reported Status’ Oliver Darcy on Monday evening. The Post has generated a slew of headlines since last year for the turmoil within its ranks as staffers have bristled at efforts by Bezos and Post publisher and CEO Will Lewis to cut costs, increase revenue, and adopt a more right-leaning, MAGA-friendly tone. In recent days, multiple outlets have reported that “hundreds” of Post employees will be fired soon, hitting the sports and foreign desk especially hard, driving Posties to launch a “#SaveThePost” social media campaign to appeal to Bezos about the value of their work. According to Darcy’s report, the internal chatter at the Post included strategizing beyond just tweets —… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago - ‘Fire Kristi Noem Into the Sun’: National Review Publishes Nuclear Takedown of DHS Secretary
Olivier Douliery/Abaca/Sipa via AP Images The conservative National Review published a scathing takedown of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem on Monday after she made false claims about the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti. On Saturday, Pretti was shot to death in Minneapolis by Border Patrol agents, whom Pretti was filming. Video taken by bystanders shows an agent shoving a woman to the ground. Pretti attempted to help her before he was swarmed by agents, who took his holstered firearm, for which Pretti had a permit. After disarming him, agents shot him 10 times, killing him. As with the shooting of Renee Good by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent in Minneapolis this month, Noem immediately blamed the deceased. “This individual went and impeded their law enforcement operations, attacked those officers, had a weapon on him and multiple dozens of rounds of ammunition, wishing to inflict harm on these officers, coming,… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago - DJ Who Played Kanye’s ‘Heil Hitler’ Says Right-Wing Influencers Tricked Him Into Playing Song
Screenshot via YouTube. A DJ who played Kanye West’s “Heil Hitler” song in viral video clips from a Florida nightclub earlier this month has apologized — but also says he was tricked into playing the highly controversial track by a group of right-wing influencers who requested it. The lyrics to West’s song, which he released last year, include multiple repeats of “Heil Hitler” as well as the n-word, and end with an excerpt from an Adolf Hitler speech. It has been banned in Germany due to laws prohibiting dissemination of Nazi symbols and drew outrage around the world. Many streaming services took steps to remove it from their platforms or otherwise restrict it. West, who currently goes by Ye, has recently distanced himself from the song. On Monday, he took out a full-page ad Monday in The Wall Street Journal apologizing “To Those I’ve Hurt,” including the “Black community” and… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.3 hours ago - Trump Struggles To Come Up With ‘Alzheimer’s’ To Describe Father’s Illness: ‘I Don’t Hav...
AP Photo/Julia Demaree Nikhinson During a recent interview, President Donald Trump could not come up with the word “Alzheimer’s” when recalling how the disease afflicted his father. On Monday, New York magazine published interviews with Trump and administration officials who boasted about the health of the 79-year-old president, who in recent months has appeared to doze off during public appearances and has been seen with swollen ankles and bruises on his hands. New York magazine’s Ben Terris, who conducted the interviews, quoted one White House physician assistant as claiming that Trump is healthier than former President Barack Obama. Terris cited a senior White House official who said Trump has been sharing anecdotes about his late father, Fred Trump, who died in 1999 at age 93. “He had an expression that I always remember,” the president told Terris. “‘To retire is to expire.’” Terris went on to describe Trump discussing his… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.3 hours ago - Anderson Cooper Brings Receipts Showing Trump’s Double Standard on Guns: ‘He Supports the 2nd Am...
CNN’s Anderson Cooper exposed the double standard applied by President Donald Trump when it comes to gun rights. On Saturday, Border Patrol agents in Minneapolis shot and killed 37-year-old Alex Pretti, who had been filming them. At one point, one agent shoved a woman to the ground. Video shows Pretti attempting to help her before being swarmed by agents, who took his holstered firearm, for which Pretti had a permit. After disarming him, agents shot him 10 times, killing him. On Monday’s AC360, Cooper reported live from Minneapolis, where he noted that the Trump administration’s claims about Pretti – particularly ones made immediately after the killing – were contradicted by multiple videos of Pretti’s death. The host also played a clip of FBI Director Kash Patel saying, “You cannot bring a firearm, loaded with multiple magazines, to any sort of protest that you wanted.” Notably, Minnesota allows open carry for… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.4 hours ago - BREAKING: Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino Reportedly Ousted, Will Retire
