Terry Moran's reveals new career move after being axed from ABC over criticism of Trump
Terry Moran has revealed he is launching a Substack channel just days after he was axed from his anchor job at ABC over anti-Trump social media comments. The 28-year ABC veteran, who was pictured barefoot, pacing and biting his nails outside his home earlier today, took to X - the same platform which ultimately became his downfall - to unveil the new career move. 'For almost 28 years I was a reporter and anchor for ABC News. As you may have heard, I'm not there anymore,' he said, referencing the high-profile axing. Moran was let go following a 'clear violation' of the network's social media and impartiality policy. Days prior, he shared a controversial post on X describing Trump as a 'world class hater' and top White House staffer Stephen Miller as the 'bile' behind the Trumpist movement. 'Miller is a man who is richly endowed with the capacity for hatred. He's a world class hater,' Moran wrote just after midnight on Sunday. 'You can see this just by looking at him because you can see that his hatreds are his spiritual nourishment. He eats his hate. Trump is a world-class hater. But his hatred only a means to an end, and that end his own glorification.' Those comments, though swiftly deleted, ultimately went viral and ABC executives felt they had no choice but to act quickly and respond harshly. If they didn't, the network's impartiality would have come into question, particularly given Trump's outspoken criticism of media bias. Now, Moran is forging a new path away from traditional media. 'I'm here, with you, on Substack, this amazing space and I can't wait to get at it,' he said. 'To get at the important work we all have to do in this time of such trouble for our country. 'I'm going to be reporting and interviewing and just sharing with you and hoping to hear from you as well.' Moran said it will take 'a few days, maybe longer' to get his profile up and running. 'I've got to get some stuff sorted out, but I can't wait to see you,' he said. Moran's decision to join Substack comes months after former CNN anchor Jim Acosta forged the same path after leaving his position. Acosta, who had long been an adversary of Trump, is reportedly on track to earn even more money than he was at CNN through Substack subscriptions - and is now free to share his true thoughts on the administration without fear of reprisal from his bosses. Just two days ago, he published an article weighing in on Trump's decision to deploy the National Guard to the Los Angeles pro-immigration riots. He wrote 'Trump has a long and disgraceful history of exacerbating and even fomenting political unrest in America. Moran was barefoot as he stepped out of his home on Wednesday. Hours later, he revealed he is forging a new path away from traditional media. 'I'm here, with you, on Substack, this amazing space and I can't wait to get at it' 'In California, Trump appears to be chomping at the bit for yet another violent clash with protesters. 'Whether his aim is to clear the way for a stronger authoritarian grip on America or to simply distract the public from his recent catfight with Elon Musk, Trump seems ready to rumble.' Among the top comments were praise that he was now able to speak his mind. 'Aren't you glad you are now on independent media so you can speak freely? Maybe Terry Moran will be joining you,' one person wrote. More than 200 others 'liked' the comment, while several agreed that they'd had a similar thought. Moran's fall from ABC's good graces came just months after he landed a coveted interview with the president. Trump said he had handpicked Moran for his interview because he had 'never heard of' him, despite his years of experience. In the interview, the duo clashed over Trump's immigration policies. Trump said: 'They're giving you the big break of a lifetime. I picked you because, frankly, I never heard of you. I picked you, Terry. But you're not being very nice.' One ABC insider said Moran's ousting had impacted his colleagues, but executives had no choice once his deleted post (pictured) gained momentum on MAGA social media channels One ABC insider said Moran's ousting had impacted his colleagues, but executives had no choice once his deleted video gained momentum on MAGA social media channels. 'It's just sad honestly. It's sad for him, a long-time colleague, friend, a good person, family man. It's just unfortunate, but there was no alternative, especially in these times,' the insider said. 'I can get maybe what he was trying to say, but like, dude, put the phone down and go to bed.' Before becoming a senior national correspondent in 2018, he served as ABC's Chief Foreign Correspondent. He also co-anchored the network's news show Nightline for eight years and was ABC News' Chief White Correspondent from 1999 to 2005, having originally joined the network in 1997.

David Hogg won't try to keep his DNC role amid dispute over Democratic primaries
David Hogg said Wednesday he will not fight to hold onto his leadership role in the Democratic National Committee after igniting a firestorm over his push to target long-serving Democrats in safe congressional seats. Hogg announced his retreat hours after the DNC removed him and another officer, Pennsylvania state lawmaker Malcolm Kenyatta, from their vice chair roles, saying the February elections they won did not follow the party's rules. Hogg said he will not run in the redo elections to be held over the weekend. With dejected Democrats looking for a path back to relevance after a disastrous 2024 election, Hogg said earlier this year that he plans to raise millions of dollars through a political action committee unaffiliated with the DNC called Leaders We Deserve to support young progressives against party stalwarts. He says the party needs a shake-up to bring in leaders who will more aggressively confront Trump and connect with younger voters and offer an inspiring new vision for a party voters are rejecting. The push rankled many Democrats, who said DNC officers should be focused on defeating Republicans, not sowing division among Democrats. Hogg on Wednesday decried 'a serious lack of vision from Democratic leaders, too many of them asleep at the wheel,' noting three Democratic House members have died this year after being reelected in November, leaving the party shorthanded in Washington. The culture on Capitol Hill rewards seniority and protects complacency, he said in a statement announcing his decision to walk away from his DNC role. 'If there is anything activism or history teaches us it's that comfortable people, especially comfortable people with power, do not change,' Hogg said. 'In this moment of crisis, comfort is not an option.' In April, DNC Chair Ken Martin proposed bylaw changes to require party officers to remain neutral in all Democratic primaries. Party neutrality is crucial to maintaining the confidence of voters, he argued, pointing to the bitter feud that emerged after supporters of Sen. Bernie Sanders' 2016 campaign believed he was stymied by party insiders putting their thumb on the scale in favor of Hillary Rodham Clinton, who won the nomination but went on to lose the general election to Donald Trump. Hogg rose to prominence as a gun-control advocate after surviving the 2018 school shooting in Parkland, Florida.

US Army to curtail VIP flights around Pentagon after fatal collision
WASHINGTON, June 11 (Reuters) - The U.S. Army will curtail VIP military helicopter flights around the Pentagon after safety concerns were raised following the January 29 fatal collision of a Black Hawk helicopter with an American Airlines (AAL.O), opens new tab passenger jet near Reagan airport, a senator said on Wednesday. Senator Jerry Moran, a Republican who chairs an aviation subcommittee, told reporters that the Army will limit training missions near Reagan Washington National Airport and limit the number of senior military and defense officials who can use helicopters for transport. The Federal Aviation Administration in early May barred the Army from training or priority transport flights around the Pentagon after a May 1 close call that forced two civilian planes to abort landings. The FAA is currently negotiating a memorandum with the Army to govern future military flights near commercial planes near Reagan, the FAA's acting administrator, Chris Rocheleau, told reporters. "We're working very closely with the Army," Rocheleau said. The FAA, the National Transportation Safety Board and the Army briefed senators on Wednesday on Washington airspace issues. Moran said that before January 29 the Army was ferrying three-star generals and above, but that now only the defense secretary and a limited number of other senior officials will be eligible when the Army resumes flights. "The number of flights, Army flights in that airspace, potential airspace has really been limited, and that's in my view a great development," Moran said. The Army's air "safety protocols are not as stringent as commercial aircraft," he added, saying he wants to see improvements. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy previously criticized the use of helicopters by generals for convenience. "Get a damn Suburban and drive - you don't need to take a helicopter," Duffy said. Another question is whether a key safety system known as ADS-B, or automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast, is working on most Army helicopters. Moran said testing shows the system is not working on other military aircraft and ADS-B was not in operation in the helicopter that crashed on January 29. ADS-B is an advanced surveillance technology that transmits an aircraft's location. Civilian aircraft must use it but the FAA in 2019 gave the military an exemption in rare circumstances. The FAA in March mandated its use on flights around Reagan.
