Hey if Americans aren’t going to put their phones down and fight back then fuck them. Enjoy fascism I guess. Ps - you can post your way out of this mess

To be fair... Trump doesn't actually offer much to be reported on without providing context to the side. If you just report what he says, you will just be reporting lies.... And all he ever did when questioned was lie. So doubt anything will change, even though it should result in impeachment.

The White House is the People's House, and he's just a government employee who gets to live there. He doesn't have the legal power to ban the free press or violate the First Amendment of the Constitution. This is another impeachable offense that will be addressed after the new Congress convenes.

Another major attack on the Constitution! There's a reason Freedom of the Press is in the very 1st Amendment. Because #WeThePeople have the right to know what our gov't is doing in our name. Don't abdicate your power to this corrupt 🟠🤡. Make sure you vote in November & that you #VoteBlue! 💙🇺🇸

Coming from an expert at creating and spreading fiction and lies, this is a testimony from the "victim" that they are not. The most dangerous thing in Trump's administration is a question these days.

2/21/25: "The AP alleges that the BAN violates the 1st Amendment & the due process clause of the 5th Amendment." The AP is seeking an emergency hearing to require them [Trump Repub admin] to rescind it. The judge assigned to the case is [Repub fed ] Judge Trevor McFadden, a Trump appointee."

Taking forever. We need immediate redress. Trump relies on slow courts. Let’s assemble all Epstein survivors and their attorneys in front of the White House, call a press conference, and name All the names in the Epstein case. Let’s put the news focus where it should be before the midterms.

It is so frightening to see how little backlash there is about this (and so much else Trump is up to) -- from politicians and the media. Will all other media just carry on as usual? Will there be any serious protest (and maybe serious fact checking about Trump's lies that never end)?

After drumpf is no longer POTUS, he should be banned from ANY media exposure. He should be ostracized and all US media outlets should refrain from ever mentioning his name, nor ANYTHING about him?! Magas are domestic terrorists......

The interpretation by multiple Supreme Court rulings is that "Congress" is supposed to be interrupted as "any government body or official". It applies to the President, and he has lost this battle before in court.

Is SCOTUS passively watching the death of the first amendment? Are they quietly munching on popcorn, wondering when the blowback will hit them? #Trumpcoverup #Epsteinfiles #scotus

The EU is democratic and civilized, and we have a free press. If one of our heads of government denied the press access to government press conferences or other information, that government would be over. The people would make sure of that.

Restricting access is also a warning to every outlet covering the administration: report what officials want, or risk losing the access your reporting depends on. That pressure can narrow the public record.

It should be a no brainer with every news agency walking out in protest but as with a decided Congress there is also a divided press. God I miss the old days when reporters reported all news and for the most part left politics out of the scenario.
