Networks banding together to punish Trump

All five White House television pool members, including Fox News, agreed to halt pooled coverage of President Trump

This occurred after the administration banned CNN, MSNBC, and Politico, a move the outlets are now challenging in federal court

The suspension landed Monday, the same day CNN was scheduled to serve as the rotating pool representative inside the White House. Instead of providing the shared camera feed that every network relies on for presidential events, the pool went dark.

Fox News Media, ABC News, CBS News, CNN, and NBC News issued a joint statement announcing the stand-down, framing it as a defense of independent reporting rather than a favor to any single competitor.

The trigger was straightforward: the Trump administration revoked press credentials for journalists at CNN, MSNBC, and Politico, accusing the three outlets of publishing what the president called "fake news."

The three banned organizations responded by filing a lawsuit the same morning, invoking the First Amendment. The collision between the White House and the press corps now sits in two arenas, the courts and the briefing room, with no clear resolution in sight.

This is the first time I can remember Fox News siding against Trump, effectifvely removing him from his biggest market on cable news.

Perhaps he will go to Newsmax as the news media has removed themselves from Trump, the major news maker in the world...cutting off your nose to spite your face.

Standoff at ICE Facility Entrance

I thought it was only the good guys that wore white hats

Ilhan Omar Barred from Minneapolis ICE Center

Congresswoman Ilhan Omar (D-MN) clashed with federal agents on Saturday during a heated encounter at an ICE processing center in Minneapolis, the New York Post reports.

Omar, 43, along with Rep. Angie Craig (D-MN) and Rep. Kelly Morrison (D-MN), sought entry to the Whipple Building facility but were initially denied access by masked military personnel armed with large rifles, as shown in online videos.

Nearly a dozen protesters had been arrested at the same site on Thursday, just days before this incident. The congressional group was briefly allowed inside before being asked to depart.

The incident has ignited discussion about the role of lawmakers in federal operations and the boundaries of their involvement.

“Shortly after we were let in, two officials came in and said they received a message that we were no longer allowed to be in the building and that they were rescinding our invitation and denying any further access to the building,” Omar told The Star Tribune. Well, that’s a swift shutdown—perhaps a reminder that not every federal site is a public forum for political displays.

“The public deserves to know what is taking place in ICE facilities,” Omar concluded on X. Noble sentiment, but staging a media-heavy confrontation might not be the most effective way to address serious policy concerns.

I think Ilhan should be banned from the country...Too bad there is no legal standing for this.
