WaPo - The Pentagon's latest revisions of its new rules for journalists covering the DoD are inadequate, says the Pentagon Press Association, auguring a broader rejection by media outlets that have been told they must pledge to adhere to the restrictive regulations. www.washingtonpost.com/busine...

The Pentagon’s revised press rules are unacceptable, journalists’ group says

The Pentagon Press Association said the government’s policy still appears “designed to stifle a free press and potentially expose us to prosecution.”

Does anyone else find it almost hilarious that they are going after Comey for “lying to Congress” when every single Trump appointee LIED TO CONGRESS!! They all lied during their interviews and they all lie when they have been called back in to explain themselves!! Why can’t we INDICT THEM??

The Supreme Court’s Republican appointees let the Trump administration end the legal status of 300,000 Venezuelan immigrants who were granted Temporary Protected Status, a type of humanitarian relief for people whose home countries are in crisis.

Remember to boycott TrumpRx and partner Pfizer, if you can. He got rid of our insurance so we have to buy out of pocket from him. This is conflict of interest but it's also insidious. Let's drive Trump Rx down and also tell Pfizer what you think. I'll publish a list of Pfizer drugs and alternatives

The Kochs are the axis of evil. They bankroll everyone who wants to overthrow our government and keep the workers poor and begging for scraps. Unfortunately they have more money than ft Knox. They are German immigrants whose dad worked for Stalin and Hitler. I don’t know why ppl don’t go after them.

I agree with you completely and will follow you. We need to think about ways to get rid of them including researching corruption because for example Turning Point USA is one big grift. Go after their donors and go after them, keep a list of the people involved and go for the throats.
