From the article: "Journalists consider the administration’s move a violation of the U.S. Constitution’s First Amendment — a governmental attempt to dictate what a news company publishes under threat of retribution. The Trump administration says the AP has no special right of access to events where space is limited, particularly given the news service’s “commitment to misinformation.”

AP journalists barred from Air Force One over style dispute

The Trump administration has blocked The Associated Press from traveling with President Trump on Air Force One and also from covering an Oval Office event. It's part of an ongoing terminology dispute over the Gulf of Mexico. The administration criticized AP's “commitment to misinformation” in not adopting Trump's name change to “Gulf of America” in all of its copy. AP says the administration is flouting the First Amendment in punishing the news outlet for not saying what it wants. AP has advised the thousands of news outlets that use its service that it would continue to use Gulf of Mexico as its style but would note Trump's change of name as well.

Trump is not running a political campaign. He's running a disinformation campaign.

He's not just lying. He's creating an alternative reality.

From the article: "Emily Shilling, who has been openly transgender since 2019, is currently serving as a commander in the Navy with more than 19 years of service, including as a combat pilot who flew 60 missions in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.

“I just want to continue serving my country, using the skills this nation invested in me as a fighter pilot and leader,” she said, stressing that she was speaking in her personal capacity. “For nearly two decades, I’ve upheld the highest standards of excellence, leading teams in combat and peace. All I ask is the opportunity to keep using my training and experience to serve this country with honor, courage and dedication.”

Trump is looking to boot transgender troops from the military. Here's why that's complicated

President Donald Trump has launched his second bid to oust all transgender troops from the military, and once again it will be headed to the courts to sort it out. Although the new order will affect only a tiny fraction of America’s 2.1 million service members, it has taken on oversized importance to Trump and his administration, who see transgender forces as a sign the military is “woke” or not focused on training and winning wars. But it was instantly condemned by a wide array of activist groups as exceptionally egregious and ultimately harmful to military readiness. They say transgender people have been serving successfully for years, including openly on and off for the past decade.
