      “It’s been 0 days since this administration violated someone’s rights.”

      The “0” is just written in ink. It has not changed, and never will.

      They know, and they don’t care and furthermore they ask you the people “what are you gonna do about it?”

      This regime is just WAITING for citizens to step up. They are itching to initiate martial law and the insurrection act now more than ever.

        Trump is a deep cover leftist. He’s trying to get people and the system as a whole to stand up and tighten the system and show why right wing policies and authoritarian policies are bad. But no one is stepping up!

        I really want to start planting this idea in conservative spaces.

    This is a lot more serious than the headline…

    Photographs from the briefings are immediately released online for the public and press to use. If that hurts the business model for certain news outlets, then they should consider applying for a Pentagon press credential,” Wilson wrote.

    Last year, the Pentagon implemented a new rule for media that required credentialed outlets to agree to a new policy that states reporters cannot gather or publish information from the Defense Department that is not explicitly authorized.

    That includes declassified information or off-the-record conversations, no matter where the information was obtained.

    Many mainstream media outlets refused to sign the agreement, finding the new rules oppressive. As a result, major broadcasters such as Fox News, ABC News, CBS News, CNN and NBC News; legacy newspapers such as the Associated Press, New York Times, Washington Post and Wall Street Journal; and other outlets lost their Pentagon press credentials.

    The problem with taking good photos of Pete Hegseth is that, no matter what, it’s still a photo of Pete Hegseth.
