(AP) — Dozens of reporters turned in access badges and exited the Pentagon on Wednesday rather than agree to government-imposed restrictions on their work, pushing journalists who cover the American military further from the seat of its power.

Your tax dollars at work:

The Department of Homeland Security has spent $51m on ads promoting Trump's mass deportation agenda, including ads featuring Kristi Noem in a series of direct-to-camera videos, reports @axios.com.
U.S. government pays for 2025's most expensive political ad campaign
The next closest ad campaign is the $41 million effort to support California's redistricting measure.

It took the US until 1965 to move to a national origins neutral system of selection for permanent immigration which we've been operating under. And 1980 until the US moved away from ideological exclusions to qualify for refugee status. Now he wants to roll it all the way back. I am so tired.

🧵A thread inspired by this new @goodauth.bsky.social piece from the Dean of Ceasefire Studies, @pagefortna.bsky.social. Also, I like to admit when I'm wrong. I was wrong to doubt there would be a ceasefire, and I have written that Trump destroyed US diplomacy. 1/

Meh. The Trump administration has continued to leak stories claiming serious negotiations are occurring when there’s no other evidence that this is occurring.

It’s incredible that the VT State Senator wrapped up in this hasn’t resigned yet — every major GOP leader in the state has called for his resignation. Fixing democracy requires restoring shame to public life. And accountability. Lots of accountability. vtdigger.org/2025/10/14/v...

OBAMA: “What if I sent the National Guard into Texas and said I don’t care what Governor Abbott says… and just kind of took over?”

Imagine that.

Fox News would’ve held a 96-hour emergency broadcast with 18 split screens and a countdown to “Tyranny Day.”

But when it’s Trump doing it? Crickets.
