    Yikes. We're closing in on "worst case scenario" here.

    More details on above tweet? Which Congressional office was it for starters? Does "no longer" mean forever or just for now? As it stands, it's kind of cryptic.

    Yeah, I get that. There were lots of replies asking her to reveal which office, and it could be just a bunch of hooey for all we know (if so though, that'd be pretty brassy for a verified Reuters reporter to make the claim without the goods to back it up, at least with her own editors/bosses if noone else).

    But anyway it's the *timing* of the message that gave me chills. It's apparent that the white house *intends* to become far less transparent - but if the whole republican party follows them down that path?

    Like I said, chilling.

    Chilling if indeed that's what it means. But until/unless we know that, perhaps we should, well, chill a little on that one. Lord knows there's enough unquestionably real stuff to be un-chill about.

    This for instance:

    Trump’s vast web of conflicts: A user’s guide

    (Think I'll start a new thread for this so comments can be made there, and comments here can be about the OP here).

    What's the point of having a press relations staff if they don't talk to reporters?

    The reporters haven't been really reporting things anyway. This whole election has been editorialized by many news factions. I have found it extremely difficult to find the facts without all of the opinion suffocating what is really going on.
