Third Estate Sunday Review

The Third Estate Sunday Review focuses on politics and culture. We're an online magazine. We don't play nice and we don't kiss butt. In the words of Tuesday Weld: "I do not ever want to be a huge star. Do you think I want a success? I refused "Bonnie and Clyde" because I was nursing at the time but also because deep down I knew that it was going to be a huge success. The same was true of "Bob and Carol and Fred and Sue" or whatever it was called. It reeked of success."

Still no State Dept. press briefing

Last Thursday, US President Donald Trump held a press conference and insisted that his administration was accomplishing much and making "progress."

The claim has led to mockery and attacks.

We're not going to mock or attack in this feature.

But we are going to point out an obvious fact.

Since being sworn in almost a month ago, we've seen very little from the administration.

For example, the US State Department can't even hold a daily press briefing.

Not one press briefing.

Maybe next time you want to self-shout out in a press conference, make sure the various departments in your administration are holding regular press briefings?
