KARL: Do you support Trump banning news organizations because he doesn't like what they're reporting?SCALISE: Look, Biden removed the press credentials from 400 agenciesKARL: That's not true. 400 reporters who had credentials didn't reapply. They weren't banned from the WH. That did not happen.

WELKER: The president said in 2025 'I have stopped all govt censorship and brought back free speech.' He's now limited reporters he doesn't like at the Pentagon & White House. Do these bans amount to govt censorship?BARRASSO: You've asked the question a couple times and I've answered(Not a no!)

Updates:

Fox correspondent: "I just spoke with President Trump about the situation with Iran … he said, 'my question is, if and when do I blow the entire nation up? They better behave'"

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2026-09-20T13:34:29.224Z

"The president said the US is in constant communication with the Houthis, and that they've agreed not to fight the US. But the big headline here is the president said the Iranians better behave, and he's making a decision as to whether or not to blow up their nation."

Elections:

Governor Newsom signs new laws to protect California elections from Trump interference

“Donald Trump won’t stop until he can exert dictatorial control over your free vote and disenfranchise millions of people this November. California will stop him at every opportunity. We have no bigger task than fighting to protect the right to vote from interference and meddling – the future of democracy is on the line. These bills today build upon the wall California has built to safeguard our electoral process.”

The Worst and Most Corrupt President Ever:

Beyond parody: "At the strong request of the Military, and for National Security purposes, I have agreed to convert the magnificent Triumphal Arch, into a top grade Military Complex/Triumphal Arch, to house, store, and have the rapid ability to use large numbers of drones, plus Snipers…"

As an expert on this topic, I know of no cases anywhere in which AI was key to preventing a school shooting. In fact, I am 605% sure this is another instance of Kash Patel spouting BS stats on Fox News. (Maybe he should just chug a beer on air? As Trump’s former press sec tries to look serious?) 🤡🤡
