And it is up to us to be the leaders we need to save our country and our democracy."

US citizens are sick of cruelty, corruption, and chaos. We need leadership based on science and that is supportive of average citizens, unions, freedom of speech, scientific research, institutions of higher learning, environmental protection, and that guarantees affordable housing & health care.

The Pentagon press corp's departure could be "an opportunity to be more adversarial and ... to lead to even tougher coverage," journalist James Risen told @columjournreview.bsky.social.

"It’s an opportunity for the Pentagon press corps to actually show some independence."
The Pentagon press corps is gone.
As reporters for major news outlets turn in their government-issued press badges rather than accept new restrictions, some argue that the best military journalism is yet to come.

Journalists turn in access badges, exit Pentagon rather than agree to new reporting rules
Journalists at the Pentagon turned in access badges and cleaned out their workspaces, the price for refusing to agree to new restrictions on their jobs at the seat of U.S. military power.
