Pentagon announces a new right-wing press corps after mass walkout A new crop of conservative media and influencers signed an agreement with the Pentagon, including the Gateway Pundit, the Post Millennial, Human Events and the National Pulse.

Breaking news: The Defense Department announced a โ€œnew mediaโ€ press corps, largely hailing from right-wing outlets, nearly a week after some of Pentagon journalists turned in their press credentials when they refused to sign a new restrictive press policy.

My Conversation with Andy Kim and Katie Phang on the Gateway Project Trumpโ€™s move to โ€œterminateโ€ this project shows what happens when a leaderโ€™s top priority is not safety or jobs - but political revenge.

Trumpโ€™s move to โ€œterminateโ€ the Gateway Project is classic โ€œmob bossโ€ politics โ€“ using federal funds to punish his political enemies, and hurt you in the process.

Watch my full conversation with @kim.senate.gov and @katiephang.bsky.social about what this means for commuters, jobs, and safety.

Artillery Shell Detonated Over Interstate 5 During Marinesโ€™ Celebration, California Officials Say

We love our Marines and owe a debt of gratitude to Camp Pendleton, but next time, the Vice President and the White House shouldnโ€™t be so reckless with peopleโ€™s lives for their vanity projects.

Trump wants you to think invoking the Insurrection Act is more common than it is It's clear that Donald Trump spent a big chunk of the period between his presidencies thinking about what he would do differently if he returned to the White House. One thing he settled on was that he...

Over the weekend, Trump said that half of presidents had invoked the Insurrection Act, suggesting that it wouldn't be that big a deal if he were to do so.
But half of presidents *haven't* invoked it, and when they did it was to bolster, not sidestep, the law.

Trump issues a Columbus Day proclamation to 'reclaim' the explorer's legacy President Trump said "left-wing radicals" have tried to tarnish Columbus' legacy, and the proclamation is a way to preserve it. Some experts say it's a way to erase the heritage of Native Americans.

Donald Trump is way less popular than he wants you to believe.

And you are significantly more powerful than he wants you to think.

Trump Administration Wields Its Full Toolbox to Bring Media to Heel

What happens next is up to all of us - leaders and ordinary citizens alike.

In responding to this horrific violence, the most important categories aren't left and right, they are about helping versus hurting.

We should heed and amplify the voices who are helping.

If we are to deprive political violence of its power, we must reject anyone who commits or promotes it - and also reject any move to exploit it.

I donโ€™t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make whatโ€™s happening now look like childโ€™s play. And people are disappearing.

pretty weird how there's always billion dollars just lying around whenever ICE needs concentration camps but there's never any money when children need healthcare or a simple school lunch. oh well just one of those things I guess
