Trump has played the WH press access card before -- and lost. In 2018, @jimacosta.bsky.social had his press badge revoked by Trump (and then restored) "It's the most un-American thing," says Acosta of the new bans, and "very dangerous." “We're all gonna have to fasten our seat belts."

MS NOW, CNN, & Politico have ALL been denied access to the White House grounds. The People’s House. Their “office” as reporters. Where they report the stories out for the American people of what goes on behind those gates. MS NOW’s Akayla Gardner shares what happened when she tried to get inside.

President Trump shared an AI-generated mockup for Space Force uniforms inspired by "Starship Troopers"—a 1997 sci-fi satire steeped in Nazi imagery. Director Paul Verhoeven previously called it a film “about fascists who aren’t aware of their fascism.” You can’t make this stuff up.
