The Trump administration has turned a reporter and photographer from The Associated Press away from covering an Oval Office news conference involving President Donald Trump and El Salvador President Nayib Bukele.

Last week’s federal court decision forbidding the Trump administration from punishing the AP for refusing to rename the Gulf of Mexico was to take effect Monday. The administration is appealing the decision and arguing with the news outlet over whether it needs to change anything until those appeals are exhausted.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. circuit set a Thursday hearing on Trump’s request that any changes be delayed while case is reviewed. The AP is fighting for more access as soon as possible.

      Yup, America officially becomes fascist. The executive simply doesn’t respect the judicial branch anymore.

      Mark my words, Trump will not let go gently come 2029.

        That’s the most depressing thing I’ve read for a long time. Even in the best case scenario we’re stuck with this bullshit until twenty twenty fucking nine!!

      i know they wouldn’t be getting a conviction, but the dems seriously have to be bringing up impeachment if they want any political future for themselves, and they need to be doing it frequently

        Please, just let the Dems die off and become the neoliberal republicans they’ve always aspired to be.

        We need a new party that is actually left of center to even begin repairing this level of damage to the republic.

        Dems. Ain’t. It. Too old, too corrupt, and F tier political messaging.

        Wasn’t this guy impeached last time he was in office? The American people have spoken and we have chosen a dipshit to run the country because most people who voted for him believed that he would hurt the people who are taking advantage of them.

          Don’t undersell it. This convicted felon was impeached twice and found liable for rape before we elected him again!

          USA! USA! US- Hey! I’m a citizen, you can’t deport me!!!

            Don’t make the mistake of thinking you can’t be deported just because you’re a citizen. Deport first, due process later.

        Impeachment is a circus act now. I’d rather they spent thier energy actually doing something useful.

            The thing.

            The thing we’re all thinking of but can’t say because truly free speech doesn’t exist.

            Maybe take some police and the court order / decision to the event and force your way in. Then, hold the highest ranking host of the event who is NOT Trump, in contempt and throw them in a shitty jail for a week.

      Plenty of presidents have defied court orders. The type of order matters greatly. Defying injunctions is only contempt of court. This was a ruling, as was the return of Garcia. These are defining of a constitutional crisis.
