And is the rest of the legacy media doing anything or are they just looking the other way while their billionaire owners keep sucking up to Trump?
Blocking the AP from what are known as "pooled" events, like Air Force One flights and Oval Office photo ops, interferes with the news outlet's ability to do its job. The "press pool" travels with the president at all times and shares information with the wider press corps.

The annual cost of permanently extending Trump's tax cuts that primarily benefited rich individuals? $400 billion.

The National Weather Service, which is part of NOAA, provides life saving weather forecasting in the US.
A study found that for every $1 invested in NWS, it produces $73 in value to Americans.
Again, this isn't about efficiency.
