Summary
The Associated Press (AP) has again asked a federal judge to lift its ban from White House events, arguing the Trump administration is escalating retaliation over its refusal to adopt Trump’s renaming of the Gulf of Mexico.
The AP says the White House has restricted its access further, including barring a photographer from Air Force One’s arrival.
Trump dismissed AP as “radical left lunatics.”
Major news organizations, including Trump-friendly outlets, urged the administration to reverse the ban, calling it a press freedom violation.
A second court hearing is set for March 20.
Eh, the newer members that were elected in his wake are even more sycophantic. It’s not like there’s any never Trump Republicans that got elected since.
Again, not against the proposal, it would be great to have senators that have used a computer before writing laws in this digital age, but I don’t think it would help against this sort of a scenario.
