🚨JUST IN🚨A federal judge blocked President Trump’s White House ban on CNN, MS NOW, and Politico. Judge Timothy Kelly ordered the administration to immediately restore their press credentials for at least 14 days. The court said the outlets were likely denied due process — no notice, no chance to respond — and that the national-security argument does not match what Trump actually said when he announced the ban. This is only a TO. The real fight is just starting.

A group of DC-based journalists, the White House Correspondents' Association, has long dictated which journalists get to ask questions of the President of the United States. Not anymore. Today, I was proud to announce that we are giving the power back to the people. Moving forward, the ‘White House Press Pool,’ will be determined by the White House Press Team. Legacy outlets who have participated in the press pool for decades will still be allowed to join – but we will also be offering the privilege to well-deserving outlets who have never been allowed to share in this awesome responsibility.
