Social Media Buzz: From President Trump's Tweets To NRA Ad

Published June 30, 2017 at 1:11 PM EDT

MSNBC hosts Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough on Friday wrote a Washington Post opinion piece in response to President Trump’s tweets Thursday, saying that Brzezinski was “bleeding badly from a face-lift” when she recently visited his Florida resort Mar-a-Lago.

Here & Now‘s Robin Young speaks with Femi Oke (@FemiOke) of Al Jazeera English about how both sides of the political spectrum have been responding to the tweets, and other news stories being discussed online.

Federal funding is gone.

Congress has eliminated all funding for public media.

That means $2.1 million per year that Connecticut Public relied on to deliver you news, information, and entertainment programs you enjoyed is gone.

The future of public media is in your hands.

All donations are appreciated, but we ask in this moment you consider starting a monthly gift as a Sustainer to help replace what’s been lost.
