15 losers, let's be real about it.

Only 15 reporters remain in Pentagon after press pledge prompted walkouts

A handful of reporters from pro-Trump outlets signed the policy, as well as freelancers from foreign-based publications and obscure independent websites.

Thankfully, Gov Newsom knows exactly how mentally ill Trump and his deranged minion JD Vance are and he shutdown I-5. Imagine if he didn't.

We are sending hard earned taxpayer dollars outside this country.

Not for humanitarian aid.
Not to help the poor or needy
No reciprocation.
No good will

But to enrich the Treasury Secretary's buddies.

NEW — I dug into the story of ICE abducting a 13-year-old boy in Massachusetts and moving him 500 miles across state lines without notifying his mother, local cop's complicity, and how the federal government's justification for such cruelty is already falling apart:

ICE took a 13-year-old they said had a gun. Local cops say he didn’t.

Now he's detained 500 miles away from his Massachusetts home.

Anyone not signing is 100% the enemy. They're actively working against our interests.

Pay attention and source your news accordingly.

The list of news outlets refusing to sign the Pentagon's new access policy continues to grow by the day. These are among some of the outlets that have rejected the order:

• Fox News
• Newsmax
• ABC News
• CBS News
• NBC News
• CNN
• Washington Times
• Reuters
• AP
• The Guardian
• Washington Post

ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox News and CNN won't sign new Pentagon access policy

In a joint statement, executives at ABC News, CBS News, CNN, Fox News and NBC News rejected the proposed policy, which makes it tougher to get information from military employees.

Even Fox news, an entertainment network, is taking a stand against fascism.

You have to ask yourself how bad you are when Fox News is not with you.

If Mike Johnson is refusing to call the House back into session during the shutdown, then we’ll do the work right here the Bronx.

The New York Essential plan is being eliminated entirely next year due to the GOP healthcare cuts. People’s lives are at stake.

And that’s why we’re fighting back.
