Journalists have a duty to tell the public that the president and his aides are seriously considering suspending habeas corpus *when it is happening* rather than saving it for a book rollout over a year later

Oh you still think of the daughter of Epstein's PR flack as a "journalist."

You have no idea when they learned it or any evidence they learned it when it was happening.

People stop buying her sh*t and make it clear they want journalism, maybe she’ll catch the clue train.

People should refuse to buy these books. The only copy they should be able to sell is the one the AP buys to report the news within.

"Federal courts have repeatedly ruled that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has violated the right to habeas corpus by unconstitutionally detaining noncitizens and defying direct judicial orders"

Haberman profits off slow rolling mild critiques of fascism while doing nothing to prevent fascism with actual serious reporting. She’s done this for her entire career and it’s incredibly profitable unfortunately.
Edmund Dunn · Jun 15
Hey it's Haberman and Swan. What did one expect? Same take as Woodard's book.
@jlp2024.bsky.social · Jun 15
Much was in the public sphere already. This single staff meeting has been overhyped as discussed in this article. In terms of the insurrection act, it hasn't been invoked directly but the deployment of Nat Guard in CA without governor req is testing scope of art 2 www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...
@drsmutt.bsky.social · Jun 15
Haberman & Swan are shit journalists out to make click bait and personal financial gain.
Susan Gross · Jun 15
Let's all close our eyes and imagine what would have happened if Woodward and Bernstein had waited to have a book published.... Haberman and Swan have a platform called The New York Times where this could have been published swiftly. This is shameful.
SavingGraces · Jun 15
Infuriating. This is not journalism. It’s opportunism. Maggie Haberman never disappoints.
📎Wicked Lizzie🐸 · Jun 15
Absolutely spot on! It's a complete abdication of duty.
ZFLTG · Jun 15
Just like Bob Woodward - Maggie Haberman and @jonathanswan.bsky.social are nothing but worthless self-serving pieces of shit. I hope Americans boycott not only this book, but all of their future books as well. FUCK THEM.
ACO · Jun 15
Worse: Stephen Miller made this CLEAR last year. So Maggie and Swan didn't reveal anything new.
@coloradojones.bsky.social · Jun 15
I don’t understand how anyone subscribes to the NYT or WP for this reason alone. You’re paying people to investigate stuff that they want to sell you! If you’re not getting a free copy of the book, they’re just stealing from you!

Today's so-called journalists are scared of the US government. Freedom of press is dead.
Verity Imelda Player · Jun 15
It'd actually be suspending hc rights *per se*. Because without a hearing, how do you know that the person whose rights you're suspending is here illegally?
Llama Girl · Jun 15
First thing I thought about as well. I am REAL tired of these journos getting information that we NEED TO KNOW and they hang onto it to make the most money possible. They're disgusting, selfish, evil people.
@headhuntnyc.bsky.social · Jun 15
Watergate was reported in real time and THEN they wrote a book.

"journalists" respond: LOL no, I've got money to make

That’s the difference between a journalist and an information profiteer

That’s a surprise?

We seriously need a law banning people with certain jobs from writing/selling books. This shit has been ridiculous my entire lifetime

Do not buy MAGAhaberman’s book Don’t request it at your library

This was widely reported in May 2025.

Are they journalists or accomplices?

That's not how Mags operates

100% agree. They will never see a penny of my money.

I mean, if I say what duty Americans have to stop this, I'll get banned.
John Castiglione · Jun 15
Maybe? These guys trial balloon in the media to get the RW apparatus in line and reporting the stuff out potentially seems like it just makes it more likely to actually happen.
Tarethen 🌈 🏳️🌈 · Jun 15
Nah. Saving it for a book is more important. Especially since it was a shelved idea and something that never actually happened.
David In Montréal · Jun 15
Not totally fair - the “secret memos” may not have got to them until months later. And besides - we already knew that.
Bernie✌️🇺🇦🇨🇦🇬🇧☮️ · Jun 15
We lost habeas corpus after the first ICE raid. Thousands of people have been "disappeared" to foreign countries WITHOUT DUE PROCESS!
SCROTUS · Jun 15
That would imply that Maggie Haberman does journalism.
Transgender For Everybody! · Jun 16
But that's so much less profitable.
@deon-botl.bsky.social · Jun 15
Yeah but they aren't journalists. They're publicists who occasionally share the gossip they know
💋 Miss Kitty · Jun 15
Yea I really thought they had some kinda code of ethics. Ig anyone can sell their soul

Haberman, Tapper, Woodward and others, QUIT TRYING TO CASH OUT AT THE EXPENSE OF OUR DEMOCRACY!
Jay Baller · Jun 15
This is all Haberman and Swan do
John Adler · Jun 15
Valerie Jablow · Jun 15
Awww, but think how compelling it is to read (comfortably, in one's own home) about how one's neighbors are disappeared--and how profitable for the publisher, too!
juhneenhow she/her · Jun 15
We don’t have journalists anymore just social media influencers and pundits and now book sellers
Kimmylea · Jun 15
Thing is, they can tell the public that and then also write it in their book later. There's nothing to stop them doing that
@thedentalmama.bsky.social · Jun 15
When is this treason against democracy? They’re in a similar position to a soldier abandoning their post by sitting on this story so they can make a profit. They’ve both gone fucking AWOL.
John Pontoon, dissident titwillow · Jun 15
Just wait until they break the story that they suspended due process AND habeas corpus.
Enfinity Cast · Jun 15
The pattern of democracy dying in memoirs instead of headlines is fascinating and terrifying. There's a whole psychology behind why people stay silent during the moment but spill everything once it's "safe" to publish.

These pesky things like some Constitution-Shmonstitution ,when ya just wanna rob the federal funds with your mob buddies ...
@oldsingledoglady.bsky.social · Jun 16
I’m so sick of these people hiding information that can effect everyone in the country just so they can make money on a fucking book! 🤬

There's something a little bit funny about the subject of the Rockwell painting resembling Lincoln here
KennyGoo · Jun 15
The "journalists" doing this are fascist collaborators, far as I'm concerned. They deserve adjacent cells when this is over.

Haberman isn't a journalist. She's a nepohack with family connections and no morals.

I do miss when access journalism was treated with near the same level of contempt as paparazzi or the tabloids.
Russ Copeland · Jun 15
You should see the line of journalists defending these access assholes.
Ariella Layton · Jun 15
Obviously, making money is more important to these reporters than a threat to our rights.

It is—literally—the entire point of journalism.

the only account to which maggie haberman is held is at her bank

It is grotesque.
@kmlpara.bsky.social · Jun 15
It’s not the first time Habermann has done this. Don’t buy the book.
Annette Molesworth · Jun 15
This is pure evil
@aaronmfc.bsky.social · Jun 15
I mean, haven’t they basically done this in all but name anyway? I mean we have concentration camps and people who have disappeared.
Citizen X · Jun 15
Haberman is not a journalist. She peddles puff pieces for access and then flaunts her value to be the precise access gained through nefarious means.
Louis Subirana · Jun 15
When did they obtain the secret memos?
Shana Gadarian · Jun 15
This is why I never buy these people's books!
Reid Adair · Jun 15
100% agree, David. I lost any respect for Haberman long ago as a result of this. It's not the first time she'd done this, and it won't be the last.

Haberman and Swan will go down in infamy as two of the biggest MSM enablers of a future dictatorship. IF we don't stop Trump AND them from solidifying his current coup attempt. Haberman was born into Trump's evil orbit (via Mom Nancy), Swan is just a lightweight tag-a-long for the ride into hell.

These type of journalists should be shamed and shunned

Benefit of the doubt. They might not have known it at the time. They might not have been able to confirm it until recently. It's not exactly news that the administration was trying to do this. Now we know more about it. From May 2025: www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...
Rachael the Spicy Hobbit · Jun 15
His fans are also the first to scream about how Lincoln suspended habeus corpus during the civil war
Matthew Hanlon · Jun 15
Wasn’t this an issue with books about the Trump whitehouse the first time around too?
Dan Izzo · Jun 15
Just...if you do this your book should automatically become public domain or something. Anything to discourage this sort of holding extremely important information back
