US news outlets reject Pentagon press access policy At least 20 news organizations declined to sign a new Pentagon access policy for journalists, warning of the potential for less comprehensive coverage of the world’s most powerful military ahead of a Tuesday deadline to accept new restrictions.

CNN, Fox News, NPR, Newsmax, and over a dozen other outlets refuse to accept the Trump regime’s demands on restricting Pentagon reporting: “The public has a right to know how the government and military are operating.”

Chicago and Portland to fight Trump's National Guard deployments in court hearings Thursday The legal challenges are set to take place at the same time in courtrooms about 2,000 miles apart.

President Trump’s efforts to deploy National Guard troops in states that don’t want them will be tested in two different courts.

Governor Pritzker on Bluesky: “I will not back down. Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power. What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?”

Prosecuting political opponents, abducting immigrants, deploying troops in our streets, silencing voters, defying the courts — this is a dictatorship in action.

Trump thinks his rule is absolute. Join millions of Americans to remind him there are NO KINGS in the USA: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...
