BREAKING: The top editor at the Associated Press rings the alarm about Donald Trump banning the news agency from the White House — and makes a chilling revelation about what's really going on.

The signs are all there...

According to Julie Pace, the editor in question, Trump's move to ban the AP over their refusal to call the Gulf of Mexico the "Gulf of America" is actually "about something so much bigger" than his absurd renaming efforts.

"This is about freedom of speech and that is a principle, a right that Americans across the political spectrum believe in deeply,” Julie Pace said on ABC.

"This is about whether the government can control the language that we use, that ordinary people can use, and it’s about whether the government can retaliate against you if you don’t use the language that they prefer," she continued.

Pace has experience in dealing with Trump. Before she took on her current role in 2021, she served as the AP's bureau chief in Washington D.C. and covered the president's first disastrous term.

"We are standing up for that right, not just for the AP, but for all independent news organizations and for the public because we believe, again, that this is a principle, freedom of speech that all Americans, regardless of their political party, should believe in,” Pace she stated.

The AP is currently challenging Trump's ban in court and Pace remains optimistic about the road ahead.

"We certainly hope that it results in us being allowed back into cover White House events because we’re there to be the eyes and ears for Americans and people around the world," Pace said.

Every American, regardless of political affiliation, should stand with the Associated Press in this moment. Republicans are constantly bellowing about how much they support free speech. It's time for them to prove it.

BREAKING: Senator Mark Warner, vice chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, joins a chorus of growing alarm over MAGA Speaker Mike Johnson's endangering of national security to please Trump.

This is exploding into a full-blown scandal...

Warner stated he was "flabbergasted" by Johnson's decision to remove Republican Representative Mike Turner from his position as head of the House Intelligence Committee.

"I don’t have the foggiest idea why he was removed. Maybe because he was such a stalwart supporter of Ukraine and willing to push back against Putin," Warner said to reporters.

"I know it’s up to the Speaker’s decision, but Mike Turner was the kind of guy who brought the House Intelligence Committee back to the kind of bipartisan respect that I think it lost in the past," he continued. "I wish Mike well."

"I was totally flabbergasted by this decision. It seemed to come out of nowhere," Warner added.

The explanation for Johnson's decision is simple. He's pandering to Donald Trump. Mike Turner is a strong proponent of NATO and supports Ukraine's fight to expel the Russian invasion. Trump despises NATO and praises Putin.

Worse still for Turner, he dared to vote against Trump's attempts to overturn the 2020 election in Arizona and Pennsylvania. Because he dared to stand up for our democracy he's being stripped of his committee chairmanship — and America is less safe because of it.

BREAKING: Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum hits back hard after Donald Trump absurdly suggests renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the "Gulf of America" by suggesting some renaming of her own.

This is how you handle a man-child like Trump...

"I mean obviously, ‘Gulf of Mexico,’ the name is recognized by the United Nations, an organism of the United Nations. But next, why don’t we call it ‘Mexican America?’ It sounds nice, doesn’t it?" Sheinbaum said at a press conference.

She then waved at a map showing that North America was historically referred to as "Mexican America" before the rise of the United States.

"Since 1607 The Constitution of Apatzingán was for Mexican America, so we’re going to call it ‘Mexican America,’ it sounds nice, doesn’t it?" she went on. "And Gulf of Mexico, well, since 1607 and it’s also recognized internationally."

Brian Winter, vice president of the Council of the Americas, praised Sheinbaum's remarks—

"Humor can be a good tactic, it projects strength, which is what Trump responds to. It was probably the right choice on this issue," he said.

"Although President Sheinbaum knows it won’t work on everything — Trump and his administration will demand serious engagement from Mexico on the big issues of immigration, drugs and trade," Winter added.

Incidents like this reaffirm what a huge mistake the United States made be reelecting Trump. We are transitioning from stable, sane governance to the egomaniacal ravings of a reality TV star.

The world is laughing at us.

Democratic Rep. Annie Kuster on her retirement: Trump "tried to kill me once. I'm not available for it again."

"I was one of the last members of Congress in the gallery on Jan. 6, and as it turns out, we have the security footage that shows it was only 30 seconds from when I was able to evacuate that the insurrectionists were in that hallway hunting for us with zip ties and bear mace and who knows what else. I just felt like, he tried to kill me once. I'm not available for it again." https://t.co/dMGlrSRDMH

THIS FLEW UNDER THE RADAR

Members of the German neo-Nazi political group AfD plan to attend Trump’s inauguration.

The group has been actively engaging with U.S. conservatives and is trying to capitalize on Trump’s populist momentum. Keep an eye on this, especially in light of Elon’s newly discovered support of AfD.

When I tell people the United States has the highest incarceration rate in the world. A lot of people with small crimes are rented out to prison labor camps for wealthy to make them money. They get paid 11-50 cents an hour.
