Donald Trump's decision to bar the Associated Press today from entering the Oval Office was the latest, and most significant attack on the free press since he took office.
We need a strong independent media to take on Trump.
I will never back down.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

“USAID’s inspector general was investigating a public-private partnership involving Musk’s company just before Musk shut the agency down.
Key USAID web pages mentioning Musk’s company have suddenly vanished from the agency’s website.”
Follow the money.

10 days in to the Trump Admin…and it’s chaos.
Congressionally-approved funding for domestic & foreign aid has been FROZEN by Donald Trump.
This includes money for fighting infectious diseases that could threaten Americans to global humanitarian aid like FOOD & WATER that saves countless lives.

Let me say this clearly. The tariffs are a money grab. Less money in the hands of the American people due to the new 25% tax on goods. More money to distribute to his cronies in the form of tax cuts.
See how it works?
