Breaking: The Pentagon Walkout — America’s Free Press Just Hit the Wall

For the first time in U.S. history, journalists were told to sign a loyalty agreement—or lose access. All but one refused. This is how Project 2025 silences the truth and dismantles free speech.

Kaine: "We should not be allowing the president to create a secret enemies list and make the unilateral decision about whether to kill people without sharing that information at least with the Armed Service and Intel committees. So this is very troubling."

Emerging from the darkness of this era will require us to acknowledge that the previous status quo, including many institutions that may have served us well in another era, have been failing for my entire lifetime.

Holy shit. This is Angelo Elia, a legislative correspondent for Congressman Dave Taylor.

According to @rooster.info, during a Zoom meeting today, he had an American nazi flag displayed in the background.

Another $20 billion. That is the face you make when you heist the US taxpayers for $40 billion two weeks before your midterm elections from the most corrupt America Last regime in history.

Let’s stop pretending. The issue before the Supreme Court right now is easy to understand: There are still many people on the far right who don’t see Black Americans as equals...they see them through the same filthy slur they whisper when the cameras are off. That's right...that word.

Mockler: I have spent all my formative years watching the President talk about the opposition party like they should not exist. His claim to fame in politics was saying that Obama was not born in America.

The Pentagon will revoke the press passes of virtually every single major news outlet because they refused to sign a pledge that violates the freedom of press. Dictatorships know how important it is to control the press.

Imagine doing everything right—working hard, saving for the future—only to lose your health care because your premiums doubled overnight.

I’m fighting to keep care affordable because Americans deserve leaders who have their backs when their health is on the line.

The plaque honoring the law enforcement officers who responded to the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, which was commissioned by Congress in 2022, remains in storage. Mike Johnson has refused to place it on the wall, as was intended. That "deed" speaks pretty loudly.

Mike Johnson: "We've always stood with Capitol police and law enforcement. We've shown that in word and deed."
