AP is banned from WH events and all the other legacy journalists walk right in.
If this was the 60s, we know who would have been with the Freedom Riders, and who would’ve been writing about them from a safe place.
AP stands alone.
Sad but true.

When social media exposes traditional media’s deceit, it’s time for independent journalists to investigate why the press is backing a president who undermines free press—and is it coordinated?

To every BS question White House press staff feeds to MSM interviewers abt whether Dems ‘want a shutdown’, ‘are gonna vote for a shutdown’. Of course not. We just need the criminal conduct to stop before we can negotiate if the White House is asking for our votes. Who could disagree with that?

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024.
You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right?
Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year.
You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.
