Good night from New York. LISA KENNEDY MONTGOMERY, FOX BUSINESS NETWORK HOST: The Senate's top Republican has a warning for Democrats. Quit delaying, obstructing, and resisting the confirmation vote for Judge Brett Kavanaugh. And it comes amid a new poll showing more Americans think that Supreme Court nominee is the target of a politically motivated smear campaign. Now, as you know, the FBI is currently investigating claims that Kavanaugh sexually assaulted several women back in the 1980s. Among them Dr. Christine Blasey Ford who testified against him last week. She says she's a hundred percent sure Kavanaugh drunkenly attacked her in high school. Kavanaugh of course denies everything. And moments ago President Trump defended his nominee at a rally in T-E-N-N-E-S-S-E-E, Tennessee. Watch.

Background On October 4, 2017, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson gave an unscheduled press conference [herein “the Press Conference”] to address early morning press reports that he openly disparaged President Trump and had been on the verge of resigning this past summer amid clashes with the White House.1 The press conference was held despite an already scheduled press briefing led by Department Spokesperson Heather Nauert.2 During the press conference, Secretary Tillerson stated he did not speak with the President ahead of his unscheduled appearance. Secretary Tillerson also refused to refute reports that he “openly disparaged the president, referring to him as a ‘moron,’ after a July 20 meeting at the Pentagon with members of Trump’s national security team and Cabinet officials”:3 “REPORTER: Can you address the main headline of this story that you called the president a moron, and if not, where do you think these reports — “TILLERSON: I’m not going to deal with petty stuff like that.

  • Trump Administration Allies Have Burrowed Into 24 Critical Civil Service Positions and 187 Last-Minute Appointments
    Trump Administration Allies Have Burrowed Into 24 Critical Civil Service Positions And 187 Last-Minute Appointments SUMMARY: Following the outgoing administration’s “quiet push to salt federal agencies with Trump loyalists,” an Accountable.US review has found that, as of February 22, 2021, at least 24 Trump administration political appointees have “burrowed” into long-term civil service jobs in the new Biden administration. This includes at least four figures in the national security apparatus, nine figures with environmental regulators, three figures in the Department of Justice, two figures in the embattled Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, and at least six other appointees elsewhere who have refused to step down in the transition. Burrowing of this sort is not treated lightly, as officials who transfer from political appointments to career positions must undergo scrutiny by federal personnel overseers for a full five years—and some of these cases have been found to violate federal laws and have drawn congressional scrutiny. However, there is a much wider slate of concerning Trump administration appointments that are not subject to such strict oversight: During the Trump administration’s waning days following the 2020 election, it announced 187 last-minute appointments to various boards, commissions, and councils that don’t require Senate confirmation. While some of these appointments have already drawn alarm for going to campaign staffers, megadonors, and top administration allies, Accountable.US has unearthed even more troubling names in Trump’s outgoing deluge. Similar to how early Trump administration personnel picks were directly conflicted against the offices they served, many of these late Trump appointments are woefully underqualified or have histories directly at odds with the positions to which they were named—and they are likely to stay in long into the Biden administration.

To Melania — Prologue — Just Another Lunch “Grab ’em by the pussy.” The sentence that reverberated around the world on October 7, 2016. The quote was an excerpt from a recording that became forever known as “the Access Hollywood tape,” published by the Washington Post and aired on NBC News, a month before the 2016 presidential election. It had been recorded eleven years earlier, in September 2005, on a bus taking Donald Trump to make a cameo on the NBC soap opera Days of Our Lives. Now infamously, Donald told TV host Billy Bush, “I’m automatically attracted to beautiful. I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait. And when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab ’em by the pussy.” When the story broke about the tape I was deeply immersed in my oldest son, Zach’s, health problems related to his life-threatening food allergies and other issues that required many doctor’s visits and therapies. My middle son, Tyler, was transferring to a new school, and my daughter, Alexi, was adjusting to hers.

  • Is Donald Trump an Outlier Among Recent Presidents?
    FEATURE Contemporary Presidency Presidents Meet Reporters: Is Donald Trump an Outlier among Recent Presidents? MARTHA JOYNT KUMAR Is President Donald Trump an outlier among presidents in the ways in which he meets with the press? Using comparative data for Presidents Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and Trump, this article looks at how similar and different Trump is compared to his recent predecessors. While at one time presidents answered reporters’ queries in presidential press conferences, today presidents have more opportunities to meet the press. All six presidents studied used three basic forums: press conferences, informal question-and-answer sessions, and interviews. They did so in ways consistent with their presidential goals and in settings in which they felt comfortable. In their first 32 months, all recent presidents employed strategies similar to ones that brought each to the presidency and then most found additional resources for communicating with the public. Except for President Trump, Presidents Reagan through Obama did so with relatively stable White House leadership teams and coordinated communications organizational structures. In this way as well as in significant others, the five previous presidents had more in common with one another than they did with President Trump. Keywords: president and press, White House press operations, presidential press conferences President Donald Trump is often characterized as bent on destroying the political system as we know it without a relationship to past presidential patterns. Gerald Seib of the Wall Street Journal characterized Trump as “the disrupter-in-chief, the most promi- nent leader to rise to power by proudly taking a wrecking ball to the prevailing political system” (2019).

While recent research in political communications examined the use of Facebook and Twitter, few studies assessed Instagram’s role in the game of politics. Guided by political and visual framing theories, a quantitative content analysis of Instagram posts (N = 1,947) from women involved in U.S. politics was conducted. This examination allowed for an exploration of how these public figures framed themselves on Instagram and the extent to which they shared personal content, despite their varied involvement in U.S.

Case 1:18-cv-01005-RC Document 5 Filed 06/20/18 Page 2 of 34 AMENDED COMPLAINT 1. Plaintiffs Samir Hamel and William Fischer bring this action against Defendants the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (the “Department” or the “VA”) and Peter O’Rourke, in his capacity as the person claiming to be the acting Secretary of Veterans Affairs, seeking a declaration that O’Rourke is not the lawful acting Secretary, and an injunction barring O’Rourke and the Department from continuing to represent that O’Rourke is the acting Secretary and from taking any action in reliance on O’Rourke’s purported authority. 2. According to press reports, the Trump administration and its allies in Congress seek to privatize essential VA services, turning veterans’ health care over to a network of private providers rather than the facilities and physicians that veterans have come to count on. But this case is not about whether privatization is a good idea or a bad idea.
