The primary White House TV pool is made up of 5 networks: CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, and FOX. We take turns covering POTUS for pooled events and trips, and then share footage with the other 4 plus other outlets. Today there is no tv pool, so Trump won’t have a crew with him at UNGA.

George Clooney: "We are at a moment in time that's unfortunate. We've had some difficult times but this is one of them. There's a great word 'kakistocracy' which is a country run by the least qualified people. I think maybe we have a kakistocracy right now."

Sen. Bill Cassidy: "I will vote for Mr. Blanche. I'll be criticized for this vote — what's new?"

Every day this raving fucking lunatic reminds the world that the most dangerous weapon in America isn’t a missile - it’s his fucking mouth attached to a feral toddler’s brain with no adult supervision.

Mike Johnson: "This is not a joke. We are in a fight right now to save the republic and every American needs to take this seriously. You need to wake up. This upcoming midterm is not the midterm elections of years ago. This is gonna decide the direction of the country. Are we gonna maintain our status as a constitutional republic on our 250th anniversary?"

.@JamesTalarico: There's been a lot of talk in this race about what it means to be a real man. Recently on the campaign trail I told the story of my adoptive dad, Mark Talarico. Every Saturday morning, he would mow our lawn, and then without anyone asking him to, he would go next door and mow our neighbor's lawn because she was a widow. My dad never talked about it — he just did it, because that's what a man does. A man takes responsibility, upholds his commitments to his family and his neighbors, and does what's right, even when no one is watching. Here's what real men don't do. They don't lie and cheat their way through life, sell their soul to the highest bidder, or steal from other people in order to enrich themselves. Real men serve others. Weak men serve themselves. I welcome this debate about what it means to be a man, and I don't think Ken Paxton or Ted Cruz are in a position to tell anybody what a real man is.
