“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.

Reminder that any political party trying to make it harder to vote is sending a clear message: they can't win on their ideas alone.

Topics Mike Johnson thinks are serious:

- Super Bowl halftime entertainer
- getting a Nobel Prize for Trump
- terrifying naked bike riders

Topics he thinks are not serious:

- Epstein Files
- domestic violence
- being able to keep the govt open
- the neutering of Congress

Q: This has been reported for a while. Cory Mills was accused of beating a girlfriend in his DC apt. Are you concerned about these allegations?

JOHNSON: You have to ask Rep. Mills about that. He's been a faithful colleague. I don't know the details. Let's talk about things that are really serious

Tell me more about this 15 state alliance. Sounds like they might have a really strong GDP, like, really strong. And they probably don’t like being held hostage to sociopathic welfare states with draconian views on human dignity and a penchant for self-flagellation. We live in interesting times.

Knuckleheads is FAR TOO KIND.

These were knuckleheads— and they would be infinitely better than the horrendously, historically God-awful slimeballs and human centipedes currently slithering through our Government and infecting all of society in ways that will take decades to recover, if ever.

Representative MAGA Gozer the Gozerian... good evening. As a duly designated representative of the sane people of the United States, I order you to cease any and all supernatural activity and return forthwith to your place of origin or to the nearest convenient parallel dimension.

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

Corporate media likes to morph their sanewashing into a full on Trump normalization which circles back to the ol’ “he’s up, he’s down, he’s back” WWE-like narrative that got us where we are now.

If you can’t sell your soybeans because of Trump’s tariffs after Argentina stepped in and took your customers, you can take solace that the guy you voted for also just gave $20 billion of your tax dollars to the country that is bankrupting you.
