- Remember how upset the country was to learn Nixon had a secret enemies list (or two)? It seems quaint now, doesn't it? enemieslist.infoThe Washington Post’s @PhilipRucker (Mr. Off the Record) & @AshleyRParker, two nasty lightweight reporters, shouldn’t even be allowed on the grounds of the White House because their reporting is so DISGUSTING & FAKE. Also, add the appointment of MANY Federal Judges this Summer!

- A top Trump strategist says he plans to erode people's trust in local media by November. “We can actually build up and fight with the local newspapers," Brad Parscale said. theatlantic.com/magazine/archi…
- The whole world wants to talk to us here in Lewiston today. And all we want to do is go sit in a dark corner. But we're journalists so we don't. We just try to get the story, awful as it is, as best we can.
