There’s a lot to get to today. And, unfortunately, we must begin with the president’s tweets. In the past 24 hours, Donald Trump has threatened to challenge the licenses of networks whose news coverage he does not like. Within the same hour, he also promoted a friendly interview he had with Fox News’ Sean Hannity, where he said there will be no DACA deal without funding for a border wall. This morning he’s doubling down on his attacks against the media and has revisited his critiques of leadership in Puerto Rico. The town where he tossed paper towels to desperate residents still doesn't have water or electricity, and he’s tweeting about pulling FEMA off the island. Are we great again yet? Meanwhile, there’s still much fallout from the Harvey Weinstein harassment accusations, but an interesting turn in the story is this -- JAY-Zis reportedly in talks to purchase Weinstein’s 23% interest in The Weinstein Company(name change pending). He's not a businessman. He's a business, man! Lastly, we thought it fitting on this #ThrowbackThursday to highlight Anita Hill, who became the face of women standing up to sexual harassment when she appeared before theSenate 26 years ago and recounted her experience with now-Justice Clarence Thomas. We’re kicking off the day with this...
