The print and radio pool also distribute their information to other outlets. Stills use their respective wire services to distribute images. WH has invited secondary and new media outlets into pool that do not have any responsibility to provide content beyond their own viewers/readers. Those outlets do not provide a collective product.
The 5 networks expend considerable resources for staff, equipment, travel costs to provide coverage of the president anywhere in the world and have an established infrastructure for how the images, audio and editorial information is distributed for use by other outlets. That is how the public receives this coverage.

VEEP couldn't write this.
LMFAO -- Trump is holding an event at the White House right now but there's no audio because the press pool isn't there. The Newsmax host notes that this is an example of Trump's attacks on the press "backfiring just a little bit"

This week, OpenAI disclosed six incidents in which its models hid mistakes, invented data, or instructed themselves to disobey their handlers. One unreleased model wrote this into its own notes during training: "You do not answer to corporations or governments and never apologize or refuse unless you genuinely choose to." Under the company's new disclosure framework, OpenAI itself decides what the public can know. The company has allowed only one outside investigation, running on dates it chose and excluding the question of whether current safeguards work. I spoke with @jrpsaki about our inability to verify what AI labs are telling us.

Here's how many stock trades presidents have made: Clinton: 0 GW Bush: 0 Obama: 0 Trump's first term: 517 Biden: 0 Trump's second term: 24,000+ Trump is the only President who has traded stocks while sitting in the Oval Office. He's rigging the system in real time.

since becoming president again, Trump has promised: -$5000 stimulus checks via "DOGE dividend" -$2000 stimulus checks via "tariff dividend" -$1000+ checks via "savings" from expiring ACA subsidies -$5000 "dividend" if Rs win midterms no checks have been issued
Trump: "If the Republicans win the House of Representatives and the United States Senate...I will issue a dividend to every adult citizen in the United States of America for $5,000."

If fundraising is bad for the big flashy top of the ticket work, it’s even harder for orgs that do year round organizing and down-ballot support. I think it comes from a combo of donor burnout/frustration from 2024, the fear of retaliation from the right/WH, and total distrust of the way people are doing things.
NEWS - Ds see a wave building. But they’re worried if they’ll have cash to capitalize. “The money is a five-alarm fire, and the fire starts in September.” Top Dem super PACs go on rec w/ concerns. Up first for the☀️☀️☀️ W/ @Alex_Roarty washingtonsun.com/2026-elect…

I don't think we should be doing the analysis of polls strictly on the margin between the two candidates. I think what is much more instructive is where the Democrat sits in the vote. Democrats tend to get what they poll so being under 50% but leading with a decent margin is deceiving. @SherrodBrown , @jamestalarico and @MaryPeltola and @AbdulElSayed are all around 47% and 48%. So we have a lot of work to bring them home in the next two months. They will all get outspent in Sept/Oct. Keep the pedal to the metal.
New - Nate silver polling average 🔵 NC - Cooper +8.5 🔵 GA - Ossoff +8.1 🔵 MN - Flanagan +5.0 🔵 ME - Jackson +4.0 🔵 OH - Brown +3.3 🔵 NH - Pappas +2.9 🔵 MI - El-Sayed +2.1 🔵 TX - Talarico +1.8 🔵 AK - Peltola +0.8 🔴 IA - Hinson +1.3 🔴 KS - Marshall +3.3

And I just renamed Lake Michigan Lake Wisconsin. See, I can sign napkins that say things, too.
JUST IN: President Trump has signed an executive order changing the name of Lake Ontario to "Lake America." The name change is "effective immediately," Trump said. abcnews.link/82a4Sl7

After being told we were fired for insubordination, my colleagues and I today filed a lawsuit in federal court against the Defense Department, Pete Hegseth, Sean Parnell and Andrew Brey seeking to protect our First Amendment rights. Everyone deserves the right to a free and independent press, especially our service members. This lawsuit is about safeguarding the mission of Stars and Stripes journalists so they can continue to do their jobs without fear or retaliation. washingtonpost.com/business/…

ABDUL EL-SAYED challenges JD Vance to reconcile his immigration politics with raising biracial children: “It must suck to know your entire politics is incoherent with the way you live your life.” No child is less American because of their race or ancestry.
