Hey John,
This isn’t just about press passes.
The Trump administration just blocked Associated Press reporters from covering an Oval Office event—even after a federal court ordered them to let them in.
Why? Because the AP wouldn’t rename the Gulf of Mexico to the “Gulf of America,” like Trump wanted.
Yes, really.
This isn’t just petty. It’s dangerous.
When a president punishes journalists for refusing to echo his propaganda, that’s not leadership—it’s authoritarianism.
A federal judge ruled that shutting out the AP violated the First Amendment. Trump’s response? Ignore the ruling and appeal it—while continuing to block reporters.
This is the kind of story people need to see.
