“The Defense Department has confiscated the badges of the Pentagon reporters from virtually every major media organization in America,” the Pentagon Press Association said

Oct. 15, 2025
PENTAGON PRESS ASSOCIATION
STATEMENT
Today, the Defense Department confiscated the badges of the Pentagon reporters from virtually every major media organization in America. It did this because reporters would not sign onto a new media policy over its implicit threat of criminalizing national security reporting and exposing those who sign it to potential prosecution.
The Pentagon Press Association's members are still committed to reporting on the U.S. military. But make no mistake, today, Oct. 15, 2025 is a dark day for press freedom that raises concerns about a weakening U.S. commitment to transparency in governance, to public accountability at the Pentagon and to free speech for all.

$This photograph captures the serene and powerful beauty of Hardraw Force, England's highest single-drop waterfall, located in the Yorkshire Dales. The image is dominated by a long, slender cascade of water plunging approximately 100 feet (30 meters) from a high, rocky ledge into a dark, tranquil pool below. The long exposure technique used in the photograph renders the falling water as a soft, ethereal white ribbon, creating a stark contrast against the rugged, textured cliff face. The surrounding rock formation is a key feature, showcasing a dramatic, layered cliff of various geological strata. The rock walls are a mosaic of earthy tones, ranging from deep charcoal and slate grey to warm ochre and reddish-brown, with visible horizontal bands and fractures. Patches of vibrant green moss and other small plants cling to the damp surfaces, adding pockets of life and colour to the otherwise imposing rock. At the top of the cliff, a dense canopy of lush green trees and foliage is visible, framing the origin of the waterfall and hinting at a hidden woodland above. The base of the waterfall is a jumble of large and small boulders, both smooth and jagged, scattered around the perimeter of the pool. These rocks are interspersed with a rich carpet of green grass, ferns, and other low-lying vegetation, which thrives in the moist environment. The water in the pool is a deep, murky green-brown, reflecting the surrounding cliffs and foliage with a subtle, glassy surface. The overall atmosphere is one of natural grandeur and peaceful isolation, with the soft light suggesting a calm, overcast day, enhancing the moody and timeless quality of the scene. The composition draws the eye vertically, from the forested top to the rocky bottom, emphasising the immense scale of the waterfall and its dramatic setting.$

"Pablo" is picking oranges in Woodlake, CA. He shares, "We fill around 5 bins in a 6 hour work day. The work is very hard on the bodies as they have to go up and down a 16 foot ladder while carrying a sack of oranges that weighs 60lbs-80 lbs." #WeFeedYou

He gives $20 Billion of OUR dollars to bailout Argentina without consulting Congress or the American people. Does that seem like the actions of a KING to you?

Join us & let him know just what you think about that this Saturday, 10/18

Although classified as carnivores, wolves may sometimes follow an omnivorous diet. They can eat meat, eggs and even fruit!

This time of year, pumpkins are a special treat for our ambassador wolves.🎃 #wolffact

As the sun rises, my heart skips a beat. Honey drips from the horizon, in golden sunbeams. The ocean sparkles, in a dazzling dance, as the sun climbs higher over the land.

Thank you to Washington Wildlife First for securing a temporary restraining order blocking the WDFW from killing members of the Sherman pack.🙌

This decision provides a much-needed reprieve for the wolves and underscores the importance of ethical, science-based wildlife management.
