Trump's ban on MSNOW, CNN, and Politico is not only part of the autocratic playbook, but the timing is no coincidence. Trump is well in the autocratic backfire process, thus, entire media outlets he sees as threats must be banished.
This is a moment of reckoning for America.

Maybe it's implicit, but the Dems should be making it clear that the entire Republican Party has to be held responsible for what Trump is doing. This is not a case where a voter can disapprove of Trump but approve of a Republican in Congress. They are 100% aligned.
