"DHS' spokesman @SpoxDHS just called me and demanded I stop soliciting tips about him via Twitter."

Just to review: (1) we have something called a "Department of Homeland Security," and (2) the spokesperson for that Department just called a reporter, demanded that the reporter stop soliciting story tips, and demanded to know the reporter's sources.



DHS' spokesman, @SpoxDHS, just called me and demanded I stop soliciting tips about him via Twitter. He also asked who my sources are.

Why does it feel like this admin hates freedom of the press.



Free advice to @SpoxDHS:

Step back. You're making a fool of yourself. And you're about to cross the point of no return.
