The Associated Press on Friday filed a lawsuit against top White House officials, accusing them of violating the First and Fifth Amendments by denying AP reporters access in retaliation for references to the Gulf of Mexico in its articles.

In other news, Reuters has been banned for their insistent use of the Oxford comma. And The Times (of London) has been banned for continuing to spell "behavior" as "behaviour".
Granted, the AP Stylebook’s decision is more consequential. A lot more publications use AP style than NYT style. And, of course, Trump’s move to target AP really wasn’t about the name of the gulf; it was to send a message to *all* press.
Yeah, it's been shocking to see the apathy from ALL other outlets. This is CRITICAL, and they do what Hakeem Jeffries does, sits on their fingers and waits for the next "big" thing to get fake upset by.
You jackholes should be standing right beside them. But you already sold your integrity long ago. “All the news that fit to print…unless it hurts rich people’s feelings”
@nytimes.com how about standing with them? I cancelled my subscription months ago due to your cowardice. Show some courage and you might get some subscribers back. Pro tip… the MAGA crowd will never subscribe to NYT no matter how much you capitulate.
I'm no expert on the Constitution, but I believe all news organizations should have access to the government. Biden had no problem with Fox News in press briefings.
And Fox News would agree with you. They were among dozens of news outlets that sent the White House a letter this week asking Trump to let AP back in. Newsmax, too! Because even that snot rag believes in press freedom.
I’m delighted to see AP not keeling. I am an American, and too I don’t bend a knee to would-be kings. This nation was built on the rejection of monarchy, on the belief that no man is above the people. Power is not a birthright, nor is it seized through arrogance.
Don’t want the truth! Watch the video for the plan . Sensor the media ! Don’t worry just sit there he deleting data soon you all maps will say America ! What else will be lost
Good! Obviously if scum of the earth Trump & his little bitch, Elon had a morsel of honesty in them, the AP would not have been kicked out. When we know what is happening, it is scary to think about what they are colluding!
History shows that democracy isn’t lost unless people give up on it. The fact that so many are mobilizing against authoritarian overreach means the fight is far from over. Hope isn’t just about believing things can change, but making sure they do. Now is the time for action.
A.P. doesn’t roll over and play dead, like WAPO, Disney, and CBS 60 Minutes. Bullies require confrontation, strength and a willingness to fight back. This POS, folds when confronted. My god, look at how he acted in response to Musk’s unruly 4 year old son. Not a whimper.
The NYT (finally!) grew a spine and stood up for the AP. Dozens of news outlets, including the Times, sent a letter to the White House urging Trump to lift the ban.
i am beyond frustrated with the Paper of Record’s systemic failure to report the news with the urgency it deserves, and shouting at the intern who runs its Bluesky account is the most i’m willing to engage
Someone 'corrected' me when I correctly referred to the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of Mexico. I told them the name might seem trivial but it isn't - it's a test of your convictions, if you will bend the knee over a trivial matter then you'll likely bend to anything and everything.
The sole good thing of filing all of these lawsuits? Is they get a great legal picture of how pissed off everyone is getting on top of the hundreds of protests.
The White House held firm, saying "That body of water is "The Gulf of America", his penis is to be referred to as "WarHammer", and Melania is "not a prostitute".
EMERGENCY Call the Bureau of Prisons (202)307-3198 Tell them to block moving trans women to men's prisons. Tell them the trans women will be raped to death, it is cruel and unusual punishment beyond their crimes. Share this, copy it, get it around. NOW.

The Times and other news outlets would have boycotted the White House press briefings, though, if they *really* had a spine.

Reporters gather, but one is blocked.
AP News found the White House locked.
Call the gulf "America" or stay outside!
The First Amendment cast aside.
