As Trump rolls out the red carpet for Xi, Bloomberg reports China took possession of potentially sensitive F-35 parts inexplicably diverted to Hong Kong. China also rebuked Trump’s sanctions threats and vowed to keep allowing Iranian planes to land.

I don't think it's a coincidence that Trump is banning news outlets the week before a court's deadline for Todd Blanche to release interview notes with underage girls Trump is alleged to have raped and threatened.
He'd rather we talk about his censorship than his pedophilia.

A while back when SCOTUS ordered Trump to facilitate the return of Abrego Garcia, Roberts said “courts must show due regard and deference” to him on national security matters. Since then, he’s used it to justify everything from the ballroom to the arch, mass deportation, boat strikes, and now this.
No matter what side of the aisle you’re on, this argument should be chilling.
Trying to limit freedom of the press under the guise of national security is what tinpot dictators do. That’s not how a functioning democracy works.

Training? What kind of training goes into this?
You ambushed a man without identifying yourself, violently body-slammed him to the ground, and injured his skull and teeth. And the moment you realized you had made a catastrophic mistake, you fled the scene like a criminal.
