Four years ago in the East Room of the White House I was told to sit down during a press conference on midterm election results. I tried to ask about voter suppression. I was continuously told to “sit down.” Four years later,yesterday I was able to ask three questions.

Inflation is on the rise for the third straight month. Energy costs are 60% of the 4.25% inflation rate for May. The rate in April was 3.81%. #Economy #Trump #GasPrices #Oil #WhiteHouse

I took this picture today on the backside of Pennsylvania Avenue. Can you believe the president is thinking about keeping this up permanently? What do you think? Let the cage match begin!!!

Comparing and contrasting freedom against the 250 year celebration for July 4th.

In case you missed it the Black author's panel last Friday at Politics And Prose In Washington DC with the 11th Race in America discussion.

Deeply grateful for the men and women of the U.S. Military who made the ultimate sacrifice. To defend our freedom and the American way of life. Our nation is forever in your debt.

I am glad you and your crew are okay

Pre order now anywhere books are sold! The veteran White House correspondent follows up Black Women Will Save the World with a gripping, soul-baring, and deeply personal examination of online misogynoir—specific and relentless online bullying attacks based solely on race and gender. Notes on a Blacklash is veteran White House reporter April Ryan’s gripping, soul-baring look at what happens when the world suddenly turns its full attention on you. This isn’t just the story of one viral moment with President Trump. It’s about the avalanche that follows: the scrutiny, the emotional and physical toll, and the way your identity can become fuel for headlines and hashtags. April pulls back the curtain on what it truly costs to be seen and what it takes to survive it. With vulnerability and power, she recounts the moments that made her go viral, not because she chased attention, but because she showed up authentically. Her presence, her truth, and her refusal to shrink under pressure struck a chord and sparked cultural firestorms. From a high-stakes press room showdown to the history-making decision by Vice President Kamala Harris, from the public disrespect of Stevie Wonder to the slap heard around the world, April explores how race, gender, and power collide in a world addicted to outrage and instant opinions. At its core, this book explores visibility—its price, its power, and the fight to reclaim your story when millions are watching. What does it mean to go viral when your hair is politicized, your voice is policed, and your very existence is treated as a threat? Sometimes, this is what it feels like when the spotlight finds you: uninvited, unrelenting, and impossible to ignore.

This was a perfectly fair and fair question. Trump's behavior toward the Black women who cover the White House is unhinged.

Trump is not thinking about your pocket. The president said the only thing he is thinking about is Iran's nuclear capabilities. #trump #affordability #whitehouse #affordability #economy

I am so sorry you had to go through this!

Clyburn: "I think Justice Roberts is gonna take his place alongside some other justices, like Taney who gave us the Dred Scott decision"

Donald Trump’s recent public appearances continue to raise serious questions. He has repeatedly appeared unable to walk in a straight line, his hands have shown visible discoloration covered by heavy makeup, and his speech has become increasingly erratic. This week, he also missed a series of basic putts in front of children despite spending much of his time on the golf course. The pattern is becoming harder and harder to ignore.

Next Saturday members of the Congressional Black Caucus and civil rights leaders are converging on Montgomery, Alabama in a mass show of force with a huge rally against the new redistricting efforts in the state.

Another Black woman White House Correspondemt gets the ire of Trump. However his words are much worse than ever before. #rachelscott #trump #whitehouse #blackwomenatwork #bword
