For Marge to call him out like that, the dude has to be the lowest of the low.

Too many morons fell for decades of propaganda.

They figured they have to defend Elmo or Bezos because one day they will be like them. Even if they have to pay twice as much tax to do so.

Indeed.

They wanted trump to destroy Obamacare, but not mess with their Medicaid expansion or their ACA.

But voters or not, residents of those counties are now more dependent of government help.

Sure. Those tomahawks are made by Acme and anyone can order in their website.

It's not just the psychopathic, sadistic lying.

It's that the guy is so astoundingly STUPID, it's just embarrassing. Imagine the Europeans listening to that garbage. The Chinese. The Russians.

Taylor Swift

Zach Bryan

The Cure

What do they all have in common?

They've all spoken out about Ticketmaster ripping off fans.

But Trump just gave Ticketmaster the equivalent of a corporate pardon.

It's a betrayal of every fan in America.

Could not come at a better time for the communist regime in Cuba.

They were entering their second "special period", after Venezuela went broke, and the free money and free oil ran out.

They're gonna jump on any deal they can possibly get. Anything to remain in power.

What I find offensive is that historians have to bother in fighting against ignorant assholes like this pathetic tadpole. This nitwit.

When I think of the damage these imbeciles have done to the whole country in less than 6 months, it's hard not to get enraged.

37% is still an obscenely high (and scary) number.

Same applies for running a government. This whole administration is a giant reality show.

That's why everything they do is a disaster in real life.

My name is Marisa Kabas, and I'm an independent journalist who publishes The Handbasket. I'm reaching out about a matter that involves your team and that continues to trouble me.

In June of last year, Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press and I filed a FOIA lawsuit against the DC Metropolitan Police Department to compel them to release body camera footage from the March 17, 2025 DOGE raid on the US Institute of Peace. What followed was months of back and forth with their lawyers, arguing why it was in the public interest to release the un-redacted footage in its entirety. Though tiny segments were handed over, that wasn't enough: We wanted all of it. 

On February 18, 2026, a DC judge ruled in our favor, and your reporter Mark Segraves sent a kind note of congratulations that day. Then on Monday, March 2nd, the footage was handed over to me and excitedly announced I'd received it and would be reviewing it in the coming days and sharing what I learned. When Segraves emailed me this past Thursday asking for my phone number, I didn't think much of it. But when he called me just before 2pm on Friday to let me know NBC4 Washington would be airing a segment at 5pm, I grew concerned. 

Segraves said he'd obtained some of the footage via a FOIA request that week after he heard the footage had been released to me. He said he'd credit the work of RCFP and me, but it was little comfort. I asked if he'd known the day before when he emailed me for my number, why didn't he tell me then? He didn't have a good answer for that. He acknowledged all the hard work I'd done getting this footage released. I asked him if he could hold the story until Monday, to which he replied that he's "not just a blogger" (implying that that's all I am, presumably) and that he'd have to check with his editor. I said fine. Nearly an hour later he called back to say his editor refused to hold the story, but that they were happy to interview me via Zoom to add to the package, and I said I would.

I said fine. Nearly an hour later he called back to say his editor refused to hold the story, but that they were happy to interview me via Zoom to add to the package, and I said I would.

What followed was two hours of furiously writing and posting clips of the footage to Youtube so I could get something published before the 5pm broadcast, and in the midst of that, recording a quick Zoom interview with a person who was about to take credit for my work. At 4:59pm ET, The Handbasket published a piece titled "Police body cam footage shows DOGE knew Institute of Peace was private property during raid." Then I tuned into NBC4 Washington via your website to catch the broadcast, and my instinct to rush to get something out first was proven right. 

"It's a story you're seeing first on News4," your newscast began. "For the first time we're getting an inside look at what happened the day the Trump administration took over the US Institute of Peace. News4 obtained more than four hours of police body camera video from that day." What followed was more than six minutes of clips and commentary from Segraves, but it's not until six minutes and 21 seconds into the piece that he mentions my name (mispronounced though he asked for the correct pronunciation on Zoom), "The Handbasket blog," and the RCFP's foundational role in bringing this footage to light. I was angry, but didn't feel there was much I could do.

Then I saw the version NBC4 posted to Instagram and TikTok—the video itself made ZERO mention of the RCFP or my work, only briefly acknowledging it in the written caption on Instagram, and not even bothering to do that on TikTok. An average viewer with no background on the case is lead to believe that this footage was released because of your efforts. When I saw that, I decided I couldn't let this go.

It's difficult to explain what it's like to spend nearly a year working on a story only to have another reporter and outlet surreptitiously take credit for it; months of work and personal risk only to have another reporter lying in wait to swoop in. What NBC4 did was immoral, unethical, and to be frank, just truly sucked.

I just sent this email to the news director at NBC4 Washington about the unprofessional and disrespectful way they handled publishing the body camera footage of the DOGE raid on the US Institute of Peace that was obtained via my FOIA lawsuit:

The @washingtonpost.com became garbage overnight.

Amazing. A third-rate rag serving as a propaganda outlet for Bezos to suck up to trump. Nothing more, nothing less.

Well, as long as it's not Burisma and the ones involved are not named Biden, I guess it's all perfectly nice and clean.

Unfortunately we have a sociopath and a band of ignorant thugs running our armed forces. So this is gonna take a while, and the damage has been done.

We have to watch out for the midterm elections. Something tells me these creeps are trying not to have one.

As long as Khamenei Jr. gives money to trump and gets in business with him, Trump could not care less. On the contrary, that's a plus.

A regime like Iran or North Korea is what trump actually wants for America.

His presidency is pretty much destroyed. But neither trump nor his band of corrupt thugs are leaving power without a major conflict.

If they go, they'll take the whole country down with them.

That means never.

Netanhayu is a genocidal maniac whose dream is obliterating Iran exactly like he did in Gaza.

Of course, he can't do it without the U.S. armed forces, so he will do anything to convince trump, the stupidest man in the planet, to do his bidding for as long as possible.

Well, at least his pimps in the oil industry are making a killing. Putting millions of dollars straight into trump's pocket was one hell of an investment.
