Nearly every media outlet is announcing they will refuse to sign the Pentagon’s new rule stating they cannot report information if it’s not government “authorized.”

Even Newsmax is refusing to sign.

Donald Trump thinks he’s all powerful. It’s up to us to remind him on October 18th that he’s not.

We will show him who really has the power in this country — and we will do it peacefully. nokings.org

For context, Democracy Docket first launched a paid membership 18 months ago and already has more than 50,000 paid members (and nearly 500,000 free subscribers).

Yes, the 100k number is only WaPo's print subscribers, but it is still a shocking decline given the interest in democracy and elections.

Lmao WaPo has fewer than 100K circulation now. It turns out “alienate your liberal subscriber base” is not a good strategy when the Republicans also hate you. www.forbes.com/sites/andyme...

The Washington Post Is Running Out Of Readers Willing To Pay

Once a titan of American journalism, The Washington Post now struggles to reach even 100,000 print subscribers most days.

If Mike Johnson is refusing to call the House back into session during the shutdown, then we’ll do the work right here the Bronx.

The New York Essential plan is being eliminated entirely next year due to the GOP healthcare cuts. People’s lives are at stake.

And that’s why we’re fighting back.

If anything, China has made US farmers realize how BADLY Trump has overstepped with tariffs. Moving their soybean market to other countries without looking back.

China has clearly outsmarted the Trump admin. 5% growth vs US 1.8%. Despite exporting 27% less to US, their exports have increased 8% over-all.

The SCOTUS got one correct. Alex Jones needs to pay for his evil words. Just because you have the 1st Amendment. Doesn't mean that you can terrorize families that lost their children with bullshit claims. &, the world's press needs to stop interviewing him. He needs to be forgotten. #fuckalexjones

They're not too much.

The 6 crooked assholes have been paid to make decisions that destroy the poor & middle class. Helping #Jones & #Loomer does nothing to help the billionaire owners of the justices to become trillionaires.
