Trump: "We'll take a couple questions from the news. I'm sure they'll be extremely non-hostile and friendly, like JD went through a very friendly interview with George Slopodopolous, who is nice enough to pay me $16 million ... he had to pay $16 million to me."

The Pentagon’s new press policy bars journalists from reporting anything that hasn’t been approved by the Trump regime.

The NYT, Washington Post, Atlantic, and NPR are refusing to sign the agreement.

Kudos to the media outlets standing up to this blatant authoritarianism.

Stop the shutdown - release the files!

Remember how MAGA told us Javier Milei would fix Argentina's economy with his right-wing policies?

And now we are bailing out Argentina with billions.

Remember how MAGA told us Donald Trump would save US farmers with his right-wing policies?

And now we are bailing them out with billions also.
