  1. Powell’s term as Fed chair is ending. Here’s why he could stick around longer.

  2. Johnson insisted on #NBC’s #MeetthePress that Trump has “never had any concern” about making the #Epstein materials public—prompting moderator Kristen Welker to note that Trump previously dismissed the files as a “Democratic hoax” in a bid to stop their release. www.thedailybeast.com/johnson-twis...

    One of the things I can't stand about #MtP #MeetThePress (even before #Welker) is that they are ALWAYS woefully unprepared when it comes to follow-up questions.

    There wasn't a SINGLE response from Blanche yesterday I couldn't have guessed in advance, and yet Welker provided little-to-no push-back.

    He "pointed out" that in the "4 years of the #Biden Admin, they didn't release a single file"… playing up the "hoax" angle. But the fact is it was A SEALED OPEN CASE during that time.

    On this #PearlHarbor Day, I would have liked #Welker to ask #TraitorTom if firing upon downed Japanese pilots "still in the fight" would have been legal? (Note: It's a #WarCrime.) #MtP #MeetThePress

    Trump just admitted on air he ran his campaign and took an oath to the Constitution under false pretenses with intent to defraud. He must be impeached without delay, he and his loyalists leaders like Speaker Johnson.

  6. Never ask #NBC for directions.
    EVERYBODY working on NBC's #MeetThePress today have no idea "Folsom County" in California is not a thing.

  7. On #MeetThePress, Senate Majority Leader John Thune said: "The Senate has a role, advise and consent, and we have a process, and a lot of our Senators take this process seriously."

    I agree with him that some Republican Senators do not take this process seriously. They want to quickly and automatically approve of Trump's controversial #nominees. Thune is taking a more responsible approach.

  8. Aaaaand the days of fact checking every-blooming-thing come roaring back. Trump's miasma of misinformation is just so draining.

    The last time Trump actually heard a crime statistic was thirty years ago.

  9. CLICK!

    Off goes #MeetTheRepublicans. As soon as a guest is allowed to say "Russia Hoax" with no pushback, that's it. I'm out (to quote Lindsey Graham.)

    And to play the same clip of Matt #Gaetz MULTIPLE TIMES calling to "abolish the #FBI & The #ATF" without ONCE pointing out the way THESE SAME #REPUBLICANS vilified #Democrats for saying "Defund the police" is nauseating.

    DO BETTER #MtP #MeetThePress. 🤬

  10. @rob11563 @w7voa
    Ever seen those "#Verify" segments on the local news? I asked about the picture below (no way to include photo) of my local station. No reply (and AFAIK, *no one*... neither local nor network... has even brought it up. Not even the #SundayShows of #FoxnewsSunday, #MeetThePress or #ABC's #ThisWeek.)

    Total #MediaBlackout. 🤬

  11. I just had to turn off #MeetTheRepublicans (aka #MeetThePress) too b/c their first guest is #TraitorTom Cotton who is trashing the judge, attacking the legal process, and lying to viewers of what the case was actually about.

    I'll tune back in later. 😒

  12. I'm going to have a conniption. I accidentally heard the #Trump licking POS Kristen Welker opening her #TV show #MeetThePress

    She REFUSED to address him as #President #Biden!!!

    She would only call him "Mr. Biden"

    Why oh why is she allowed to get away with this?

    Isn't there a rule about how to address the President?!?

    She's continuing to slander him!!! I'm going to have a stroke

  13. A NICE LITTLE REMINDER from #MeetThePress:

    John McCain in 2017 criticizing T**** for calling the Press "The enemy of the people".

    A nice little reminder that T****'s fascistic authoritarian tendencies are not new. #DictatorTrump #DictatorForADay

  15. CW: United Statian politics, Trumpcrap

    Terrible way to start the new #MeetThePress era- horrible choices, terrible "interview" - #ChuckTodd and his ego were annoying enough, but now #NBC Sunday is no longer a thing for me.

  16. So It begins

    NBC press release: “This Sunday, Sept. 17 on NBC, the inaugural broadcast of Meet the Press with #KristenWelker will feature an exclusive interview with Donald Trump. The pretaped interview will take place Thursday in Bedminster, N.J. and will be Trump’s first broadcast network interview since leaving office.”

  17. A legal advisor to T**** cited "The Presidential Records Act" as his defense. Has she ever READ the #PRA? It flat out DESTROYS his defense, not supports him: #FnS #FoxnewsSunday #MtP #MeetThePress #ThisWeek

  18. The creator and first moderator of #MeetThePress was a woman, Martha Rountree.

    She moderated from June 24, 1945 to 1947 on the radio version, and on NBC television network from November 6, 1947 to November 1, 1953.

    There hasn't been a female moderator since in the 70 years that followed.

    Her famous line was, 'Now See Here!' which she would say when BS was being peddled.
