An extraordinary new policy from the Defense Department that equates basic reporting methods to criminal activity has prompted a revolt among Pentagon journalists that could leave the nation's largest agency and the world's largest military without a press corps.

'Without precedent': Virtually all news outlets reject restrictive Pentagon press policy

The policy would force news organizations to refrain from publishing material not approved by the military. Media lawyers say it violates the 1st Amendment.

Lmao WaPo has fewer than 100K circulation now. It turns out “alienate your liberal subscriber base” is not a good strategy when the Republicans also hate you. www.forbes.com/sites/andyme...

Unless and until some kind of compelling legal and moral argument is presented as to why this is a legitimate use of deadly force, this is just…mass murder.

Every wannabe king forgets the same lesson: Americans don’t kneel. The weak call it chaos. The strong call it a wake-up call. The Constitution doesn’t need worshippers. It needs warriors.🔥👇

TBH we are terrified of losing Pixel. She is 10+. We were worried that Calypso would crater. She is so dependent…hence the Muffin. I was sad for you when Frannie crossed over, but Ziggy seems to have done ok. Hope you both are well and weathering the current disaster better than we are.

Was a wild weekend on the Cape. Glad Ziggy is well. Still remember Frannie’s zoomies on the beach. We just added Muffin to Pixel and Calypso.

I cannot believe how fast we have fallen. There are no spines to be seen. Just sadistic masked men who believe they will never be held to account.

Barron’s upstairs in the White House seeing what stock he can short tomorrow when his old man gets home and posts some more China sh*t. Market manipulation is real.

Pretty clear he is just manipulating the market at this point. Totally out of his league against Xi and knows it. Lost all our leverage. Probably will lead to mass abandonment of US bonds by the time this clown show is finished. Get your money out of electrons soon if you can.
