Trump tells Sarah Huckabee Sanders ‘not to bother’ with press briefings…
January 22, 2019
The reason Sarah Sanders does not go to the “podium” much anymore is that the press covers her so rudely & inaccurately, in particular certain members of the press. I told her not to bother, the word gets out anyway! Most will never cover us fairly & hence, the term, Fake News!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 22, 2019
Hogan Gidley, the deputy press secretary, addressed the lack of press briefings on Fox News earlier Tuesday morning. “She’s [Sarah Sanders] going to come back when she finds a reason to,” he said on “America’s Newsroom.”

January 22, 2019
In a January 20 report titled — “‘It was getting ugly’: Native American drummer speaks on his encounter with MAGA-hat-wearing teens” — the Post‘s Cleve R. Wootson Jr., Antonio Olivo, and Joe Heim erroneously stated Philips is a veteran of the Vietnam War despite having not been deployed.

“Their $400 million investment is just the tip of the iceberg.

Senate Leaders Plan Competing Bills to End Shutdown…
January 22, 2019
The Senate will hold competing votes Thursday on President Trump’s proposal to spend $5.7 billion on a border wall and on a Democratic bill that would fund the government through Feb. 8 without a wall, marking the first time the Senate has stepped off the sidelines to try to end the monthlong government shutdown.
The procedural move by Senators Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the majority leader, and Chuck Schumer of New York, the Democratic leader, is the first time the parties have agreed to do virtually anything since the shutdown began Dec. 23. With most Republicans united behind Mr. Trump’s insistence that any legislation to reopen the government include money for a border wall and most Democrats opposed to the linkage, neither measure might draw the 60 votes required to advance.
New IRS spy software provided by Palantir is ultimate Big Brother…
January 22, 2019
On Sept. 27, 2018, the IRS entered into a contract with Palantir Technologies of Palo Alto, California, to handle the task of data assimilation. The contract calls for Palantir to provide hardware, software and training to IRS employees to “capture, curate, store, search, share, transfer, perform deconfliction, analyze and visualize large amounts of disparate structured and unstructured data.”
[...]
If the IRS’ $99 million spy software works as promised, the agency will have unprecedented ability to track the lives and transactions of tens of millions of American citizens.Remember Palantir is? It is a cia-funded spy project co-founded by Peter Thiel.
From Forbes in 2012:
In the wake of NSA leaker Edward Snowden's revelations of the agency's mass surveillance, Palantir's tools have come to represent privacy advocates' greatest fears of data-mining technology -- Google-level engineering applied directly to government spying.
Peter Thiel’s data-mining company is using War on Terror tools to track American citizens. The scary thing? Palantir is desperate for new customers.
This isn't even a fraction of it's potential. We will break this down in a future analysis and report that you know and love from us.
