O'DONNELL: Freedom of the press is enshrined in the First Amendment. Are you trying to intimidate the press from doing its job?

TRUMP: No. I dislike dishonest press, like you. I think you're terrible.

It's well past time for the White House Correspondents Association to pack up and leave the White House in protest, but every day is a new chance for them to do the right thing.

Trump: "We will immediately begin the process of developing a large Military presence in the appropriate part of Greenland, of which there are many"

BREAKING NEWS: I am pleased to announce that the United States of America has entered into an Agreement with The Kingdom of Denmark, and Greenland, that gives the United States permanent control over security, and all other needs, in Greenland, completely addressing ALL of our many U.S. concerns. There will be NO COST to the United States! At my direction, we worked with representatives of Denmark and Greenland to guarantee that the United States will FOREVER have the complete ability to do what is necessary in Greenland in order to secure and defend the security of Greenland, and the United States of America. Additionally, from now on, no U.S. adversary can EVER have a base in Greenland, have a military presence in Greenland, or make sensitive investments in Greenland, without our express written approval. For over 100 years, Presidents have known the strategic importance of Greenland, but NONE of them were able to do anything about it. I am proud to be the President that permanently and conclusively addressed this very important situation. This is an “Infinite Life” Agreement, there is no end! We are very honored and proud of what has just taken place, and everything agreed to today will be cherished by the American People. We will immediately begin the process of developing a large Military presence in the appropriate part of Greenland, of which there are many. We will work with the people of Greenland in its development and construction. This solution is a great one for the United States of America, Denmark, Greenland, and all of our Allies. We look forward to working with the wonderful people of Denmark and Greenland toward a magnificent future with respect to this large, and highly strategic, parcel of land. We will be very protective of it! This is a dream come true for the United States of America, one that is very important, historic, and special. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Trump says he's also looking at banning the Washington Post, calling it a "crummy paper" and "disgusting."

Anyway, good job, Jeff Bezos! It obviously was worth losing all those scubsribers and turning your opinion section into MAGA-lite, only for the president to continue to call you "fake news."

OK news agencies and broadcasters with a presence in the White House Briefing Room, and indeed the WHCA: your test has arrived. It is not hard to pass. You just need to not attend WH Briefings for as long as this rule is in force. That’s it. Does your commitment to a free press mean anything or not?

First Trump came for the Associated Press, but the rest of the WHCA did not stand up for press freedom because they were not employed by the AP

Next, Trump came for CNN, MSNOW, and Politico, and the rest of the WHCA won't stand up for press freedom because they are not employed by those outlets...

This episode is not just embarrassing for the military -- it shows for the millionth time the self-destructive insanity of leaders in every institution on earth pumping out pro-AI propaganda, from business to edu to news to government to unions.

I feel like we are so used to living in a time of madness that we can't grasp just how insane the Kennedy Center dispute is. Trump took something that was running just fine and destroyed it because he couldn't put his name next to the murdered president whose memorial it is. That's completely nuts.

Next time Trump tells a reporter he deserves recognition for taking care of the Kennedy Center, I'd love for a follow up that simply asks "isn't it your job to administer the government?"

The US Congress has the power of the purse under our Constitution.

Expenditures mandated by law are not up to the whims of the Executive branch, which has no such power.

That is our money. Mandated by our laws.

Shattering our Constitution harms all Conservative & Liberal Americans.

The US already got a do over. A mulligan. A second chance.

Much of the world, especially US allies, were ready to write off Trump’s first term as a fluke.

The American people’s choice to put him back in power—as a convicted felon, after an openly bigoted, anti-democracy campaign—showed it was not.

Max Fawcett @maxfawcett.bsky.social · 1d

This is the part many Americans -- including the Bezosites at the Washington Post -- don't understand. Canadians don't see this just as a Trump thing. It's that America elected him twice, and the second time with an even bigger mandate.

The problem we're addressing is America, not Trump.
