The Trump administration's lawless killing spree at sea continues with a lethal strike on four more supposed "narco-terrorists" in the Caribbean.

Very real killing in a make-believe war.

Outside of war the general term for premeditated killing is murder.

From the official Dept of Education account on X, an endorsement of Bo French's racist tweet about Indian students at a University of Texas football game. Just awful.

A photo of a Texas football game with a largely white audience shown and the caption "Make college football great again."

We don’t need our journalistic watchdogs to have “access” to Trump

Everyone in the press room should walk out in protest … and source up.

Katie Miller, who is a co-conspirator in actions Elon Musk took that will kill millions, RTs interview of Maggie Haberman describing that everyone is counting on pardons, whining that "her family" had to pay for lawyers. (There is abundant evidence Trump paid for it & ALSO laundered $$ to Stephen).

Katie Miller
@KatieMiller
After the first Trump administration, my family spent money we did not have on lawyers because of multiple partisan Democrat led investigations into President Trump.

I watched as many of my friends also had no idea how to pay expensive legal bills because they simply served their country.

You can’t convince me Democrats won’t do this again.

No responsible news outlet should go to the White House as long as this ban on their colleagues is in effect. It’s time for big media to show some backbone.

Also, any apologies about that embarrassing WHCA dinner yukking it up with Trump and his apparatchiks?

CNN and MS NOW Reporters Barred From White House After Trump Announces Ban

The prohibition on certain journalists was a stark escalation in President Trump’s war on the media, and will probably face a legal challenge.

Trump misstating and touting a meaningless deal over Greenland, while the entire Middle East security architecture falls apart due to his own actions, is emblematic of this administration’s foreign policy.

The White House Press Corps should've walked out as soon as the Trump regime banned the Associated Press for calling the Gulf of Mexico the "Gulf of Mexico."

That was Feb 15, 2025. The first month of Trump Term II.

Not surprising that abandoning principles for weak acquiescence led to more abuse.

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

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?

Other news organizations should leave the White House. They can of course still cover the administration--almost none of their coverage depends on being there physically. But they shouldn't stay there, raising their hands dutifully in the briefing room, as if it's business as usual.

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...
