I have just filed a story about Sudan, where the escalating conflict between SAF & RSF has generated the biggest humanitarian crisis in the world today. An estimated 30 million people in Sudan & 4 million refugees in neighbouring countries need humanitarian assistance.
Absolutely. The defamation and harassment of journalists for the purpose of silencing them is an assault on free press at large. The harm inflicted upon them is harming everyone who values democracy, which relies upon an informed public to survive.

Leavitt: Reporters at legacy outlets, some of which are sitting in this room today, were ridiculously awarded pulitzer prizes for their perpetuation of this hoax. It is well past time for those awards to be stripped. It is not journalism to propagate political disinformation in…
My reaction to that completely batshit press briefing by Tulsi Gabbard in which she accused Obama of “treasonous conspiracy” is that whatever is in the Epstein files about Trump must be really really bad
CNN: The Wall Street journal is reporting that in May, AG Pam Bondi and her deputy informed the president at a meeting in the white house that his name was in the Epstein files.
