🚨 BREAKING: A federal judge has ordered the White House to IMMEDIATELY restore the press credentials of CNN, MS NOW, and POLITICO reporters after President Trump barred the outlets from the White House. 1/
Screenshot of page 8 of a September 24, 2026 federal court order signed by U.S. District Judge Timothy J. Kelly. The order grants the plaintiffs’ motion for a temporary restraining order and directs White House officials, excluding President Trump, to immediately restore the “hard pass” press credentials of employees of CNN, MS NOW, and POLITICO that were revoked around September 18, 2026. The temporary restraining order remains in effect for 14 days. The plaintiffs are also ordered to post a $1 bond by October 1, 2026. The page ends with “SO ORDERED,” Judge Kelly’s signature, title, and the date September 24, 2026.

Another quick apology to the world on behalf of actual Americans who aren't part of this conspiracy to pretend Trump isn't a psychopath lost in his own delusions and self-glorification He should be in a rubber room, not insulting you (and reality). We're working on the problem

NEWS: Donald Trump’s own nephew, Fred Trump, is publicly calling out his uncle’s lies about 9/11, saying Trump’s claim that he brought a crew of workers to Ground Zero “so offends me that I need to speak out.”
Alt text: Screenshot of a post on X from Fred Trump (@FredTrump_) that reads:

“There are two reports out today that relate to the tragedy of 9/11. I will comment on them today because doing so on the 25th anniversary this Friday would take away from the solemn memories. I try not to comment personally about my uncle, but his claim that he brought a crew of workers to help at the sight so offends me that I need to speak out. He was not building a “big building “ at the time. The only crew he claimed to bring to the site would have been secretarial and accounting employees from Trump Tower I knew many of them, and pretty sure they were not capable physically to help (if they could, I am sure they would try). Regarding the US Steel Building, ironically, the grandfather of a very close friend of mine was one of the original engineers- the bldg was built strong. Second, the brother of a partner of mine was an engineer that was immediately called to perform an inspection. While people were originally concerned, it was eventually cleared for occupancy- not creaking and ready to fall. I hope this brings some truth to that story. The second story will follow.

Breaking: E. Jean Carroll moved to the collect $5,779,783 from the bond Trump deposited in the court's registry, since that verdict reached the "end of the line" at SCOTUS. Trump's lawyers are still trying to delay, per the filing.
The Court should enforce the plain language of the existing Stipulation and Order and
direct immediate disbursement of funds held in the CRIS. Defendant Trump obtained a stay of
execution pending appeal only by explicitly agreeing that the funds placed in the Court’s account
would be disbursed upon the conditions set out in the Stipulation and Order. Those conditions
were satisfied when the Supreme Court denied his petition for certiorari. Nothing in the Stipulation
and Order, the Federal Rules, or the Supreme Court’s Rules permits him to disregard the parties’
agreement subsequently so ordered by Your Honor based on the fact that he is considering seeking
reconsideration of the denial of certiorari.2 Accordingly, the Court should direct the Clerk to
disburse to Carroll the value of the judgment including post-judgment interest, which amounts to
$5,779,783.00 in total as of the date of this filing.
