President Trump used his press conference to skewer the national press corps Thursday. He lectured the media on their ratings -- suggesting they'd fare better with consumers if they pared back the "hatred" and just presented the news. Trump coached them on the types of questions they should ask, joked about classified information saying they all have copies, and lambasted their love of "fake news." He not so politely reminded members of the media that their national approval rating is collectively lower than Congress's.

As Mary blogged, six Superbowl winning Patriots players won't be joining the rest of the team during their White House visit. Some have indicated their abstention is due to policy differences with President Trump. Patriots Quarterback Tom Brady says his choice to visit the White House over the years has not been a political one and refused to publicly litigate the decisions of his teammates. "Everybody has their own choice.There’s certain years, like a couple years ago, I wanted to go and didn’t get the opportunity based on the schedule — we didn’t get told until I think like 10 days before we were going, and at that point I had something I’d been planning for months and couldn’t get there," said Brady:

A yet to be identified New York Times reporter was formally reprimanded by the paper for calling the First Lady a "hooker" at New York Fashion Week event Saturday night. According to Page Six, a supermodel sitting next to this nameless reporter "spilled the beans" and railed against the "slut-shaming" of Melania:
Supermodel Emily Ratajkowski, who was seated next to the reporter during the event on Sunday, had spilled the beans on Twitter. “Sat next to a journalist from the NYT last night who told me ‘Melania is a hooker,’” Ratajkowski tweeted Monday morning.

Singer Joy Villa turned heads when she revealed her less than subtle gown at the Grammys. "Go big, or go home. You can either stand for what you believe or fall for what you don't. Above all make a choice for tolerance and love. Agree to disagree. See the person over the politics, carry yourself with dignity, always. Life is made to be lived, so go boldly and give no effs! ????❤️????????????????⭐️????✨ #love #peace #joyvillagrammys #joyvilla #maga #grammys2017 #style #supportamerica," Villa wrote in an Instagram post.

Once upon a time, a certain Senator from Massachusetts wrote about the virtues of school voucher programs. But you'd never know that based on how Sen. Warren criticized newly minted Education Secretary, Betsy DeVos. Writing to Secretary DeVos upon her nomination, Sen. Warren wrote:
"For decades, you have been one of the nation's strongest advocates for radically transforming the public education system through the use of taxpayer-funded vouchers that steer public dollars away from traditional public schools to private and religious schools. ... "But the actual evidence on how private voucher programs affect educational outcomes is mixed at best, in many cases reveals these programs to be expensive and dangerous failures that cost taxpayers billions of dollars while destroying public education systems."

Less than a month after this year's March for Life and pro-lifers nationwide will protest abortion clinics in 218 cities. “Defund Planned Parenthood” rallies aim to put pressure on lawmakers to strip the country's largest abortion purveyor of federal funding. From Life News:

CNN anchor Chris Cuomo just took "tone deaf" to a new dimension during a SiriusXM Radio interview Thursday. "The only thing that’s bothersome about it, is that I see being called ‘fake news’ as the equivalent of the n-word for journalists, the equivalent of calling an Italian any of the ugly words that people have for that ethnicity. That’s what fake news is to a journalist,” said Chris Cuomo on SiriusXM POTUS (Ch. 124) Thursday. “It is an ugly insult and you better be right if you’re going to charge a journalist with lying on purpose and the president was not right here and he has not been right in the past."

While Sen. Warren is wearing out her victim card, Sen. Tim Scott used his time on the Senate floor to read hate mail he received since voicing his support for newly minted AG Sessions. “If you sign up to be a black conservative, the chances are very high you will be attacked,” said Sen. Scott. “It comes with the territory, and I’ve had it for 20 years, two decades, but my friends and my staff, they’re not used to the level of animus that comes in from the liberal left that suggests that I somehow am not helpful to the cause of liberal America and therefore, I am not helpful to black America.”

This ain't no Tea Party. Astroturfed progressive protests are all the rage as the "resistance" movement feels compelled to fight everything Trump might do. Look no further than the Berkeley riots and it's easy to see just how concerning the current riot state might be for Republican lawmakers. Yesterday, House Republicans met to discuss ways to stay safe.

There was a fair bit of drama in the Senate last night. Senate Democrats are hosting yet another sleepover to protest the upcoming confirmation vote on Senator Sessions' appointment as Attorney General, knowing full well they don't have the votes to stop his confirmation. They pulled the same stunt prior to the confirmation vote for Betsy DeVos, the new Education Secretary. Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) began reading a letter written by Coretta Scott King, widow of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The letter was written in protest of Sen. Sessions nomination as a federal judge in 1986, and according to Senate Republicans, spoke ill of the soon-to-be AG.
