It has started. Pretext to authoritarianism: Trump demands Republicans ‘kill’ the bipartisan bill that would give journalists greater protections. More authoritarian insanity and destruction likely!

extortion        expect nothing less from a crime boss

It’s because Trump hates free speech and wants to terminate the Constitution. He’s pretty open and honest about how he hates free speech and the First Amendment.

Fox news Griffins criticizes justice department subpoenas against journalists of New York times for reporting on legitimate news.  New air force 1 has security flaws which forced Trump to switch airplanes at NATO summit.  Violation of press freedom to intimidate journalists from doing their jobs.

Since June 14, lack of information about senator McConnell's health.  Staying in a hospital for almost a month is not a good sign. Most heart attack patients stay for under a week unless they require surgery.  10% chance of surviving a heart attack outside of hospital unless immediate help is provided.  If he survives, recovery might take weeks, months or years.  His absence may make spending bills harder to implement for republicans.

Exactly!!! 

   More trump fascism?

The FBI last week fired two of its analysts
after they expressed concerns that the investigation
into the 2020 election results in Fulton County, Georgia,
was thin on evidence and appeared to be politically motivated,
according to several sources briefed on the matter.

MORE FASCISM? 

July 15:

WH officials asked to turn over personal phones at the White House as Wiles, Patel lead intensifying leak probe 

So what happens to the WH officials who refuse to willingly turn over their private phones to trump's GESTAPO?

The WH paranoia continues . . .

Reuters reveal that Trump may be the most anti-free press president in US history.  Despite Trump campaigning to bring back free speech, judges in 75 court cases ruled that his administration violated first amendment.  War on truth and control of media are among characteristics of fascism.

       Will der Fascist Führer of the MAGA REICH
                 start an American Civil War?

A.Blake -
 In a new interview  [der Führer of the MAGA REICH, a known sex-offender and convicted felon]   declined to rule out declaring a national security emergency as a means to try to assert control over the 2026 midterm elections.

It's merely the latest warning sign that Trump could try to mess with the election not just by baselessly claiming voter fraud and challenging the results afterward — as he did in 2020, leading to a violent riot at the US Capitol — but by trying to unilaterally take control before votes are cast!!! 

Good riddance to press secretary Karoline Leavitt who is leaving to spend more time with family.  Her legacy is working as Trump loyalist instead of public servant providing accurate information.  Attacking journalists and promoting Trump lies.

Disney files first amendment lawsuit against Federal communication commission over assault on free speech. Unusual for FCC to threaten early revoking of ABC broadcast license because renewal is not scheduled until 2028.  Trump administration is trying to censor contents from media companies.  War on truth and control of media are among characteristics of fascism in government.

In war against truth, Trump administration threatens defamation lawsuit against Center for American progress report revealing national guard deployment didn't reduce crime.  Violent crimes were already declining in cities targeted.  Another frivolous lawsuit doomed to fail.
