“The officer asked me to hand over my badge; he said that it was disabled,” Ms. Gardner said in an on-air interview. “I asked why I could not get inside; he said it was above him.”

A photographer for #MSNOW was also asked to relinquish their badge, but a producer for the network was allowed into the #WhiteHouse, Ms. Gardner said.

#Journalists from #CNN & #MSNOW were denied access to the #WhiteHouse grounds on Saturday, a day after #Trump announced a ban on 3 #news organizations because of reporting he disliked.

Akayla Gardner, a White House correspondent for MS NOW, said that her White House-issued access badge failed to work at the security entrance where reporters typically enter near the West Wing.

The posts were Trump’s most explicit efforts yet to direct the #FCC to carry out his wishes. FCC Chair #BrendanCarr, a Trump appointee & close ally, did not respond to request for comment.

#Trump posted a long missive Sunday about what he described as mischaracterizations of his endorsement record in primaries.

Treating the #FCC like his own personal enforcer, #Trump said on social media Sunday that #NBC’s #KristenWelker would be “reported to the FCC for rebuke or punishment” over a TV segment he didn’t like.

In a separate post, Trump complained in all caps about “fake polls” & said “something must be done about it,” adding, “FCC to the rescue!”

In washing tons of money with stink
as best friend of Epstein he'd link
himself to a colon
with ego so swollen
and pushed many into the brink.

If something went terribly wrong,
stand up as you have to be strong!
Can't sit at the pool
in old grifter's stool!
Must save what you loved for so long!

#Minnesota prosecutors announced Monday that they have obtained long withheld key evidence in their ongoing investigations into fatal #shootings of #ReneeGood & #AlexPretti during pitched protests against a federal #immigration enforcement crackdown in the state earlier this year & withheld evidence in the shooting of #JulioSosaCelis.

>Iran is empowered and, because a school was hit, has an argument that it is entitled to reparations.

I agree, but more likely general reparations will take the form of "tolls" for passage of the Straight of Hormuz, yes?

>The political situation is lose-lose as well.

>If Congress steps in, the war can be framed as "thwarted success." Trump. blames Congress for not letting him finish and “win.”

>If Congress ties Trump’s hands, it owns the resulting mess.

>If Congress refuses to step in, the war continues and the power of the Executive Branch continues to expand at the expense of the Legislative Branch.

Not sure I'd call this "lose-lose". The first two items are matters of "perception" only. This would be a major "stand up to #Trump moment", at least for #Dems. The perception of Dems as a party is already way down. It could help IMO.

Second, a more obvious issue is hinted in your third point. We have a #Constitution & #Laws for a reason. While there is some ambiguity, there is actually a Right Way to do things in the US most of the time. Shutting down an illegal #war is the right thing to do. It will save both $$ and lives in the long run. If this is perceived as "losing" then so be it!

Now is a good time to remind our armed service men and women that they do not have to obey illegal orders:

- Stand up for American laws and values.
- Uphold the oath you swore to the Constitution.
- Refuse illegal orders.
- Thank you for your service.
