News organizations including The New York Times, The Associated Press and the conservative Newsmax television network said Monday they will not sign a Defense Department document about its new press rules, making it likely the Trump administration will evict their reporters from the Pentagon.

Those outlets say the policy threatens to punish them for routine news gathering protected by the First Amendment. The Washington Post, The Atlantic and Reuters on Monday also publicly joined the group that says it will not be signing.

      Amid Mass ICE Arrests, Trump Pardon Recipient Juan Orlando Hernández Given Special Treatment - However...

      As the trump administration continues to use Navy personnel for military action off Venezuela, I'd like to remind everyone of what trump did December 1, 2025 when he pardoned Juan Orlando Hernández. Juan Orlando Hernández is the former Honduran president. He was convicted in a U.S. federal court on March 8, 2024, of three counts of drug trafficking and weapons conspiracy. Prosecutors proved he participated in a 18-year-long conspiracy to transport over 400 tons of U.S.-bound cocaine through Honduras, starting as far back as 2004. He did more as did his brother... Last month, Trump cheered a military assault by U.S. forces that captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, and brought them to the U.S. to face charges related to cocaine trafficking. Maduro, trump said, led a “vicious cartel” that “flooded our nation with lethal poison responsible for the deaths of countless Americans.” But when it comes to former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández, who was tried and convicted in the U.S. in 2024 and sentenced to 45 years in prison for taking bribes and allowing traffickers to export more than 400 tons of cocaine to the U.S., Trump has taken a decidedly softer tone.

      Make sure they stick to their word... WASHINGTON — The Department of Veterans Affairs on Thursday abruptly announced that it would stop enforcing a new rule requiring disability ratings to be calculated by how well veterans function on medication and not solely on the underlying condition or injury itself.
