Associated Press barred from Oval Office for not using ‘Gulf of America’

The Associated Press said the White House barred its reporter from Tuesday’s Oval Office executive order signing because of the AP style guidance on using the name Gulf of Mexico versus Gulf of America.

The Associated Press says the White House blocked it from covering an official event on Tuesday because it did not refer to the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America. By @davidfolkenflik.bsky.social

US Rep Ayanna Pressley: "I want to say to our Republican colleagues pay attention. We're here today in the hopes that you will see the light. But if you do not see the light, we will bring the fire. Resist!" #3E #USprotests #DOGE #UStreasury

Pres. Trump defended his decision to impose tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China, acknowledging they may cause “some pain” but claiming it “will all be worth the price,” as the import taxes have been widely condemned by business groups and economists who warn they’ll raise prices for Americans.

You’re watching the Super Bowl next week. Wait till Trump’s tariffs raise your guacamole and beer prices.

Mexico’s President, Claudia Sheinbaum, has ordered retaliatory tariffs on the United States.

I’m going to put my rich guy hat on and say I hope that Mexico and Canada issue equal, retaliatory tariffs and stick to them for an extended period. I apologize to all the people it will cost money and the businesses it will hurt. But it’s the only way for tariffs to be seen for what they are

Musk’s allies were granted access to the U.S. Treasury payment system. Treasury stays silent. White House stays silent. Why the secrecy? Time for an explanation and full transparency.

Good news for everyone outside of the US, they no longer have an actual secretary of defence. #Hegseth

There is only one reason Trump pulled the security off Pompeo and Bolton…to put them in danger for “crossing him.” To send a message to anyone else who would oppose. Both have active death threats from Iran. All to intimidate. This is the opposite of a real man of God. This is evil

Tesla Model 3 surprise redecorated on the street in Austria, Vienna. Acts of resistance against Musk products and businesses increasing worldwide, especially in Europe.

We will not forget

Dems would get much more traction finding and promoting people saying what they know and experience. What has more impact, This man speaking his mind or the Dems speaking “in unison “ ?

TikTok is 100% violating federal law by coming back online today. Trump cannot legally push back the ban’s effective date … and he isn’t even president yet! The company is taking a HUGE gamble that could trigger ruinous financial penalties.

Over on the blue bird app, they are so embarrassed that Trump cancelled the inauguration and screwed them out of money, that they are making up reasons like assasination attempts etc. It’s going to be a big letdown for them these four years when they realize how weak Trump really is

What’s the difference between a gov controlling an algorithm, silently eliminating reach for things it doesn’t like, vs the same gov using its power, to demand that the platform remove the things it doesn’t like.? In China they are overt. With TikTok in the US, they control silently

“Well actually Trump wanted TikTok banned first and now he flip flopped” is the most Democratic Party cope ever. Biden signed the ban into law and he and the party knew exactly what they were doing. Instead of dealing with their left flank they tried to legislate it away. And now it backfired.

Everyone in America receiving this message on TikTok today, please do not panic. It’s all political theater. It’s NONSENSE. They’re doing it so that Trump can be well received on his first day by “saving” it. Trump isn’t “saving TikTok”… …TikTok is saving Trump.

Reminder for anyone who sees Trump as a savior: He lobbied to have tiktok banned in the first place, and now he’s positioning himself as the hero by unbanning it. It’s theatrics.

That felon guy, who started the ban on TikTok in 2020, is now going to “save” TikTok. People are so gullible! Those of us who are not are SO COOKED!
