In a win for Americans, a federal judge ruled the Trump administration must stop the taxpayer-funded propaganda. But U.S. District Judge Jennifer Rochon was concerned about how the admin moved $20 million in less than two hours. Support us in holding Trump accountable: demdock.com/3TDHBhv

“ABC pulling the story only made it a bigger story. Certainly not what Don Jr. or the WH were going for. And ABC doesn’t look great, either. All of which underscores the need for news that is neither owned nor leveraged by this White House— a commodity vanishingly rare in today’s media environment.”

Trump said today that he may change the name of the Pacific or Atlantic Ocean to “Trump Ocean”. You'd think he's just trolling but since he's regularly "renaming" bodies of water, he may actually do it. It's one of his dumber stunts but he seems to really enjoy making his stooges go along with it.
