But they still won’t let them attend.

The fawning big law firms probably would have won if they challenged instead of caving.

HMM…NOW I HOPE THEY REPORT ACCORDINGLY.

Sadly, Trump has already said he is appealing the ruling.

Will it still be a victory when Trump appeals to the Supreme Court and a 5-4 majority rules that he doesn’t have to talk to anyone he doesn’t want to?

Thank you.

Maybe I'm just a dreamer, but I still hope the White House Press core grows a spine and bands together on this issue.

If they can't fight calling the Gulf of Mexico, it doesn't portend well on other issues.

Is it? I still don’t see them at the WH, and what’s to stop Trump from just ignoring the ruling?

So they can return to and accept being bullied, ignored and lied to every single day. Mainstream media no longer are the free press. Independent reporters are.

Nuff said

And to think MAGA dismisses the AP and other legacy news outlets as ‘regime media’. If they have to sue to cover the president, how does that mean they’re somehow compromised?

I’m not optimistic Trump will obey this order either

Who bother everything he says is a big fat beautiful lie!

i just can't keep paying for all these subscriptions

skellymarie.bsky.social•11 days ago

I pay for two subscriptions: the Atlantic and my home town newspaper. I understand the need to support journalism but I hear exactly what you’re saying.

kjustin1966.bsky.social•11 days ago

The Atlantic, various Substacks (the Contrarian), etc etc. It can easily add up to $100 a month! I despise Bezos for ruining the Washington Post.
