For the fourth straight day there was no WH briefing.

For the fourth straight day there was no WH briefing. No officials to explain how the admin plans to return the separated kids to their parents. This is how the briefing room looks.. a few reporters waiting for answers that aren’t coming yet. #whereistheplan #whereispresssec

Maybe this administration has met its bridge too far.

One can hope.

9. Trump has held one press conference during his term

And now they don't even have a daily briefing. I wonder if the media are planning to report this at all? You know, make a big stink about it? A little coverage akin to those infamous Clinton e-mails and non-existent Clinton Foundation scandals? I know they can conjure up a big controversy out of nothing, or even less than nothing. I've seen it before.

Why so shy, guys? You'd have raked a Democrat over the coals for less than this.

10. The press is notified when there will be no conference, yes?

Have they not been notified this week? I don't know how it works, but it looks as if members of the press show up and nothing happens.

Is this what's going on?

12. All she does is lie, deflect, insult. Rinse and repeat.

I understand the urge to hold on to the norms. That is important.

And it's also good to document their lies for the record and history books.

But we know as much now as we would after one of their pressers. Period.
