BREAKING: BRAVO! The New York Times announces it will NOT publish or distribute ANY photos from the White House pool today in protest of Trump's assault on free speech. This fight has spiraled totally out of control for Donnie... “The New York Times will not publish or distribute any images taken as part of the White House still photography pool today, in conjunction with the other members of that pool and in a show of support for the news organizations being unfairly targeted by the president’s barring of journalists from the White House," New York Times spokesperson Charlie Stadtlander stated. "We remain committed to covering the president’s travel to New York City today. Americans deserve a free and independent media covering their government without intimidation, as well as comprehensive coverage of newsworthy events," he added. The Washington Post released a similar statement— “The Washington Post will not publish any photographs of today’s presidential events — including Trump’s departure from the White House and his events at the United Nations in New York — until midnight Eastern Time, joining a collective effort with photographers in other newsrooms covering the White House in a show of support of the banned outlets," said Post spokesperson Olivia Petersen. These new announcements come after major news outlets including CBS News, ABC News, CNN, Fox News, and NBC News suspended press pool coverage of Trump over his decision last Friday to ban CNN, Politico, and MS NOW from the White House over their alleged "fake news" stories. That collective pushback resulted in a particularly embarrassing incident for Trump, because there was no audio for his big White House helipad ribbon cutting ceremony today. With an even bigger week ahead as the United Nations convene in New York, Trump is going to be feeling the burn from his authoritarian power grab. He's drunk with his own power and in obvious cognitive decline, which is why he thought that he could shred the First Amendment without consequence. Thankfully, the media is fighting back — and winning bigly. Please ❤️ and share to thank the Times and Post!

BREAKING: Republican Senator Kennedy just blamed Trump for the government shutdown! “We could have had the TSA paid by the end of the week”! Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) just went on record admitting that he and Sen. Ted Cruz crafted a perfect off-ramp to end the month-long DHS shutdown, but Donald Trump personally killed it because he wouldn’t accept “any deal” with Democrats. Kennedy explained: “Sen. Cruz and I came up with a plan. We said, look, it's a two-step process. The Democrats have offered to open up everything but ICE. Ted and I said, "Okay, let's accept their offer. And at the same time, we would offer a bill for reconciliation that wouldn't require any Democratic votes to do whatever we wanted with ICE. And that way, we're out of the shutdown, and DHS is back open. “It would have worked. We could have had TSA paid by the end of the week. But the President said no deal.” The result? TSA agents remain unpaid, over 400 have quit, airport lines are endless, travelers are furious, and Trump is holding the entire system hostage because he’d rather score political points than solve the crisis. Democrats have offered TSA-only funding eight times; Republicans have blocked it every time. The shutdown drags on while Trump demands total surrender on his SAVE America Act instead of taking the win Cruz and Kennedy handed him. This is Trump’s midterm strategy in action: keep chaos alive, blame Democrats, and hope voters punish them in November, even if it means punishing American travelers, unpaid federal workers, and national security in the process. If Sen. John Kennedy admitting Trump personally killed a bipartisan DHS fix just to avoid “deals with Democrats” has you furious, like and share.
