Associated Press: “Today we were informed by the White House that if AP did not align its editorial standards with President Donald Trump’s executive order renaming the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America, AP would be barred from accessing an event in the Oval Office.“

Our congressional delegation pursuing oversight on reports of Elon Musk’s illegal activity at USAID was just barred from entering the building on the orders of Musk and the Trump Administration.

Nobody elected Musk — this is illegal and corrupt and we will keep fighting it.

Elon Musk is not a Federal employee or a political appointee. DOGE is not a real department. None of their activities are legal. This is a coup. The Republicans in Congress are willing participants in it. At what point do Democrats in DC get that and start acting like it? It’s not the price of eggs!

NBC News is being kicked out of its space in the Pentagon and replaced by OANN.

MEMORANDUM FOR THE PENTAGON PRESS ASSOCIATION
SUBJECT: New Annual Media Rotation Program for Pentagon Press Corps
For over a half-century, the Pentagon Press Corps has benefited from working out of individual office spaces that provide coveted and open access to some of the Department's top military and civilian leaders.
Known as the Correspondents' Corridor, this office space loaned to media outlets by the
Secretary of Defense stands as a tribute to the importance the Department has long placed on informing the public about the U.S. military and all it does to project peace through strength. It also honors the many correspondents who put their lives on the line, and in many cases died, while covering our finest in battle.
In order to broaden access to the limited space of the Correspondents' Corridor to outlets
that have not previously enjoyed the privilege and journalistic value of working from physical office space in the Pentagon, beginning February 14, 2025, the Office of the Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs will implement a new Annual Media Rotation Program for those dedicated media spaces.
Each year, one outlet from each press medium - print, online, television and radio - that
has enjoyed working from a physical office in the Pentagon will rotate out of the building to allow a new outlet from the same medium that has not had the unique opportunity to report as a resident member of the Pentagon Press Corps.
This year, the following news outlets will begin their rotation by vacating their physical
office space effective Friday, February 14, 2025:
Print - The New York Times
TV - NBC News
Radio - National Public Radio
Online News - POLITICO
In their place, the following outlets from each medium will be invited to move into the
Correspondents' Corridor workspaces formerly occupied by the above four outlets.
Print - New York Post
TV - One America News Network
Radio - Breitbart News Network
Online News - HuffPost News (aka The Huffington Post)

To be clear, the outlets that vacate the spaces loaned to them by the Secretary will remain as full members of the Pentagon Press Corps. They will continue to enjoy the same media access to the Pentagon and will be able to attend and cover briefings and be considered for travel with civilian and military leaders in the Department as they have previously.
The only change will be giving up their physical workspaces in the building to allow new
outlets to have their turn to become resident members of the Pentagon Press Corps.
Thank you in advance for participating in the Pentagon Press Corps Annual Media
Rotation Program. By turning over the office space loaned to you by the Secretary, you will ensure that new outlets will have the same opportunity you have enjoyed covering our nation's finest up close from office spaces inside the walls of the Pentagon.
(John Ullyot
Acting

An EPA staffer says this message is going around re: latest Microsoft computer update:

"It’s likely your status on Teams is being monitored, and a hint was dropped to us by someone higher up in EPA that they may be monitoring Teams calls.

We now have to be careful of what we say on Teams calls."

It’s been a week from fucking hell. Every single day we have received emails begging us to resign and insulting our competence as employees, while EOs are issued stripping rights away from ourselves, our friends and our families. And this is just the beginning. #federalgovernment #federalemployees

Federal workers have been instructed to remove their identifying pronouns from their email signatures and other forms, as agency and department leaders work to follow President Trump’s executive order to scrub all references to gender ideology in official government materials by 5 p.m. Friday.

Federal Workers Told to Remove Pronouns From Email Signatures After Trump Order

The instructions to employees aimed to fulfill orders from the Trump administration, which told agency heads to remove all references to gender identity from official materials by 5 p.m. Friday.

Donold is blaming a plane crash that killed 67 people on “DEI” with zero evidence.

He is attempting to use racism to deflect from the fact it is HIS fault. He had just removed 100 FAA senior officials.

It’s been 11 days and there are 67 bodies in the Potomac in Washington DC because of him.

I rolled up advice for federal employees from a Twitter survivor. It's really good advice for all of us.
