Trump confirming his plans tonight at a dinner to build an arch that’s “for him” as he told @edokeefecbs.bsky.social

“They literally say something is supposed to be there. We have mock ups of it.”

No clue who “they” is.

Decades of experience. And every single one now handing their press pass in.

Another step towards the authoritarian state.

The Pentagon’s new “rules” are an attack on press freedom and hurt the American people’s ability to be informed.

This isn’t journalism. It’s state media.

NEW: Pentagon officials are forcing staff to watch Pete Hegseth's "Warrior" speech he forced generals to listen to.

Officials are even "testing" staff to see if they watched — and are threatening consequences if they lie about watching it or if they mock it, sources tell @swin24.bsky.social and I.

The Pentagon Is Ordering Staff to Watch Hegseth’s ‘MAGA Garbage’ Speech… Or Else

Defense Department sources tell Zeteo that staff have been warned that if they don’t watch or read the speech, or if they speak negatively of it, they could face severe consequences.

No, the story here is how the Pentagon is too scared to have real journalists ask questions and hold them accountable. Instead, they will be interviewed by partisan commentators and podcasters.

That's not journalism or freedom of the press. It's state media.

Hegseth: “You would think the Pentagon press corps…would be front and center across the board on wanting to give credit to the president for forging this kind of peace. Instead, what they want to talk about is a policy about them."

"If they don't disarm, we will disarm them...They know I'm not playing games,” Trump says when asked about the militant group keeping their end of the deal.

But he’ll sure take questions from friendly media like Marjorie Taylor Greene’s boyfriend, Brian Glenn. The most thin skinned POTUS ever..
