For Prime members, a quick update on logins and commenting. As of today we’ve enabled the TPM-native Prime login across the site. So you’ll be able to comment on the public parts of TPM using your Prime login rather than logging in with a social media (Twitter, Facebook, etc.) or Disqus account. This will streamline things and also allow you to exist under a single ‘entity’ everywhere on TPM.
Coming later this evening there will also be a ‘login’ icon at the upper right of the site as well as a place to login in the comments section itself.
More soon.
I’m starting a Live Chat right now over at TPMPrime. I hope you’ll join in.
During the presser, Obama took direct aim at Sens. McCain and Graham for their comments today about Susan Rice’s capabilities and truthfulness. Watch.
Sen. Graham has already responded with a written statement that reads in part: “Mr. President, don’t think for one minute I don’t hold you ultimately responsible for Benghazi. I think you failed as Commander in Chief before, during, and after the attack.”
President Obama’s first post-election press conference is scheduled at 1:30 p.m. ET. Watch.
