MIDTERM DISASTER: GOP Strategists Privately Say Trump Is Driving Republicans Toward a Rout colbyhall.com/p/midterm-disa…
Last night, Trump gave better access to Chinese media than the US press while toasting the communist dictator, while running a local ad insisting he’s anti-communist. What are we doing, people? colbyhall.com/p/morning-fram…
For my 60th, I wrote about the insane amount of massive social and technological changes Gen X has had to adapt to, which has denied us the luxury of nostalgia. colbyhall.com/p/turning-sixt…
The executive branch's intentional defiance of a court order seems the very definition of a Constitutional crisis. colbyhall.com/p/constitution…
I'm shocked that this isn't getting far more coverage. This is a massive deal when the Executive Branch is openly ignoring the courts. Constitutional crisis, anyone?
A POLITICO reporter was denied access to the White House and his press credentials confiscated after a judge ordered the Trump administration to immediately restore access for news organizations that President Donald Trump banned from the complex last week. politi.co/4dU7YX4

Trump DEFIES Judge’s Press Ban Ruling, seemingly prioritizing an authoritarian constitutional crisis news cycle over the price of gas and a disastrous Iran War. colbyhall.com/p/morning-fram…
I turn 60 tomorrow, and it’s prompted a lot of reflection on our generation and just how much change we’ve had to adapt to. No complaints—we’ve had a pretty good run. But somewhere along the way, we were denied the luxury of nostalgia. My thoughts: colbyhall.com/p/turning-sixt…

Here is Fox & Friends' 48-second segment on Trump's press ban and lawsuit from CNN, MS NOW, and Politico. Zero analysis or opinion presented.
This is, of course, the right way to proceed. Trump's ban is serious and dangerous, and at the same time, the news cycle the White House prefers over inflation, the Iran War, gas, and his death-spiral polling.
JOINT STATEMENT FROM MS NOW, CNN & POLITICO
"This morning, we notified the government that we are filing a lawsuit today to protect our First Amendment rights and defend the principle that the government does not decide what the press reports or publishes. Without notice or process, the White House revoked our journalists’ credentials because it objected to our reporting. Left unchallenged, this threatens press freedom and the public’s right to independent journalism free from government interference."
Trump's press ban should set off alarm bells but is also a naked -- and effective -- attempt to distract from a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad week of news. colbyhall.com/p/trumps-press…
A GOP Rep is openly campaigning against Trump’s ICE enforcement. Is this a tipping point? colbyhall.com/p/tipping-poin…
