Overnight, Trump’s justification for banning reporters was shot down by a Trump-appointed federal judge who rejected the DOJ’s claim that reporters were banned from CNN, Politico, and MS NOW for national security reasons.

Judge Kelly wrote in his ruling:

But the circumstances here are not so “extraordinary” as to permit deviation from the “essential principle of due process” that a deprivation of liberty “be preceded by notice and opportunity for hearing.” Cleveland Bd. of Educ., 470 U.S. at 542 (emphasis added). Zevallos holds that post-deprivation due process may suffice in unusual situations, such as when “providing notice before blocking the assets of international narcotics traffickers would create a substantial risk of asset flight.” 793 F.3d at 116.

But nothing in the record suggests the need for such urgency here. Indeed, some of the reporting identified by Defendants in the letters to Plaintiffs stretches back months or years. See ECF Nos. 16-1, 16-2, 16-3. The sorts of stories Defendants identify in the letters to Plaintiffs are routine. And as discussed further below, the Court is skeptical—at least on this record—that Defendants’ interest in safeguarding national security is the actual motivation for, or is even advanced by, the revocation of Plaintiffs’ hard passes.

Finally, even if the circumstances here allowed for post-deprivation process, Defendants are still left with the problem that, before the reporting at issue, Plaintiffs still did not “receive fair notice” of either the “conduct” that would lead to a sanction or of “the magnitude of the sanction that the White House might impose.” Karem, 960 F.3d at 665 (cleaned up).

In other words, Trump can’t take away press access, deny the reporters due process, and then claim national security as a justification for doing whatever he wants.

The reporters from the three outlets show up at the White House for work and have their credentials confiscated.

It is clear that the White House is throwing a fit over losing in court and playing games, but the only person this hurts is Donald Trump.

Reverend and Sen. Raphael Warnock sees politics and morality clearly, so it makes perfect sense that it would be Warnock who could see right through Trump.

Sen. Warnock was asked by Nicolle Wallace on MS NOW, “How do you see this moment?”

Warnock laid into Trump and discussed the moment that the nation currently finds itself in:

This is just one more indication that we have an American president who doesn't believe in America. He doesn't believe in democracy. And we're seeing a desperate man trying to hold on to power and he's willing to do anything. And so this, this all-out attack on the First Amendment, this attack on voting rights is about a, a failed president. He's an abject failure.

The people of this country those who voted for him, hired him to lower their costs, to lower the cost of groceries, lower the cost of gas. They've seen those prices skyrocket. They've seen their healthcare premiums double. He said he'd keep us out of endless wars. We're now eight months into this un- lawful war of choice. And so he knows that the voters are coming, and so he's trying to cut it off at the path. He doesn't want journalists to be able to share with us what's going on in our own government with our own money, and he's doing everything he can to wage war against our elections.

Warnock went on to explain that he knows Trump knows his economy is terrible.

As the judge heard arguments at the hearing on Wednesday morning related to Trump’s ban on reporters from MS NOW, Politico, and CNN from the White House, the press ban on filming Trump’s White House activities continued as the president returned to Washington, D.C., from his day at the UN.

The New York Times has joined with the television pool and has refused to publish any photos of Trump that are taken by the White House Photo Pool until the reporters are allowed back into the White House.

Even Trump expects to lose in court on the reporter ban, but until the judge’s ruling comes down, the blackout of Trump’s activities at the White House remains in place.

Trump was already attacking the judge on Truth Social:

All of the SLEAZEBAGS, like Third Rate “Reporter,” Kaitlan Collins, of Fake News CNN, a truly unhappy person, said they weren’t going to be covering me. Then why were they ranting and raving like Lunatics, in the Press Area, at the United Nations? Why was she there? She’s got a “TRUMP” addiction, and so does CNN and MSDNC. They’re all sick, treasonous, and demented! The “good news” is that they have a great, for them, and totally disloyal Judge.

In case you were wondering, the judge is disloyal, but he was appointed to the bench by Trump during his first term and ruled against Trump in the Jim Acosta case years ago.

MAGA lived through Trump, and they felt like they were winning by supporting him. Even though reports have been going around for years that Trump despised his own supporters and felt that they were bad-looking, poorly dressed, and did not want them close to him, Trump supporters continued to think that the president was their fighter.

Everything changed when Trump returned to the White House and started targeting his supporters for deportation and cut programs that his supporters rely on, like Medicaid and SNAP.

Trump’s tariffs, trade war, and real war with Iran increased inflation and caused prices to skyrocket.

Trump was harming them, and very slowly, Trump’s own base has started to get the message and lose faith in him.

Most of MAGA remains in his corner, but the number of self-identified MAGAs continues to drop.

One of the main reasons for this drop is that Trump has caused a great deal of economic pain with his policies and has shown zero sympathy for what the American people, including his own supporters, are going through.

Trump was asked at the UN whether he feels any sympathy for Americans struggling with high prices, and his answer was another low point.

Trump showed up at the UN to address the General Assembly and insisted on treating the world like one of his rallies.

Trump said, “ I can report to you with pride that America is back, and our country is stronger today than ever before. Our economy is the envy of the world.”

The president then waited for applause and was met with silence.

He continued, “ Our economy is the envy of the world.”

Trump was met with even more silence.

Video:

The only applause that Trump generated seemed to come from members of his own administration who were in attendance.

The world looked at Trump with an expression of not this guy again, and silently sat there and tolerated his babbling.

At one point in his address, Trump announced that he was renaming AI to SI.

The president said:

 From this point forward, all of United States documents, and hopefully the world's, will be changed to use the much more accurate term super as opposed to artificial. So it's super intelligence. In other words, welcome to the new world of super intelligence-SI SI. Let's see if that goes. It sounds much better, it is much better, and it's much more accurate. Let's see if I have any power. Maybe I do, and maybe I don't. We're gonna find out pretty soon.

Later, Trump lost it and began ranting about hoaxes, but he also called for the abolition of the International Criminal Court.

His bis childish behavior continued when he arrived at the UN, and snapped at CNN’s Kaitlin Collins:

 So it's an honor to be here. I'm surprised that CNN is here covering me. You shouldn't be here. You should not- You should not be here covering me. You said you weren't gonna cover me. You shouldn't be covering me. But, but I will tell you, it is an honor to be at the United Nations, and we're making a lot of progress. Our country is doing really, really well. Thank you very much, everybody.

Trump knows exactly why Collins was there.

The UN is not a White House event, and Trump’s reporter ban and press-pool retaliation apply only to the White House.

Trump has made himself the victim of his own ban by claiming that the press said that they would not cover him, when he is the one who banned MS NOW, CNN, and Politico from covering him.

The real fun came when Trump went to get on the escalators at the UN, and a journalist yelled out to him repeatedly, “be careful with the stairs.”

Video:

This was a trolling callback to 2025, when Trump came to the UN and the White House claimed the escalators were intentionally shut off while the president was on them.

Trump is playing and pretending like he is the all-powerful boss, and he was obviously hoping to use the UN as a platform for his illusion of power, but even the press is trolling him.

The more Trump tries to appear powerful, the weaker he appears.

This is a president who is diminished and diminishing even before a single vote has been cast in the midterm election.

Donald Trump and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani held a surprise meeting at Gracie Mansion in New York, and it didn’t take long for the question about Trump’s press ban to come up.

Mamdani was asked by reporters, “ Mayor, to you first, what's your response to President Trump banning outlets from the White House grounds? Uh, did you challenge him at all about this in your meeting with him? Historians and legal scholars have called it textbook authoritarianism.”

The same reporter asked Trump, " And Mr. President, are you banning outlets like MS NOW CNN and Politico in order to distract from the Iran war and high gas prices?”

Mamdani answered, “ Yeah, I told the president, uh, that we're gonna have all of the members of the press here on the lawn, and that is something that I believe in is, is everyone, no matter the opinion or the critique, that we engage.”

Trump then said, “ Yeah. It's interesting because, uh, they said w- they were gonna boycott me, but they never boycott me. So I wasn't very worried about that. Look at all that press. But, uh, no, I'm not... I'm only doing it because I think the press also has an obligation.”

The press did boycott Trump. There was no audio at his White House event on Monday. The president could be seen, but not heard.

Donald Trump tried to play big man with a reporter ban, but it is not working out well for him.

After the White House Press TV Pool refused to replace CNN after the president banned the network as the pooler on Monday and Tuesday, Trump still held an event at the White House.

Trump thought that he didn’t need the reporters as much as they needed him. It is a pretty safe assumption to believe that he thought he would show them who the boss is, but it didn’t work out that way at all.

This is how Trump’s event played out on television.

Video:

Trump flailed his arms and made gestures like some ancient, chubby cartoon bird, but there was no sound.

Why was there no sound?

Let’s have the Newsmax anchor, who finally had to cut in, explain: So there is no microphone because there's no microphone because the pool cameras aren't there. So maybe, uh, Tim, this is one example of it backfiring just a little bit. Um, pick up on or some of the things Michael was saying, and, um, obviously the ramifications are right here. Can't hear what the president's saying.”

It turns out Donald Trump really does need those reporters with their cameras and microphones, because without them, no one broadcasts what Trump is saying, and if no one broadcasts it, he can’t get the attention he craves every moment of the day.

The message is clear. The relationship between a president and the press is a two-way street.

The White House needs media to broadcast its message. Without microphones, a president can’t be heard.

Trump needs the press because, without them, he is just a weird-looking old guy silently waving his arms in the air, as no one can hear what he is saying.

The White House audio and video operate on a pool system. The video and audio coverage that viewers and listeners see and hear of a president and administration on a daily basis is coverage that is shot or recorded by one network and shared with all others who are credentialed media.

The credentialed networks rotate the pool responsibilities on a daily basis and utilize a schedule that the White House releases each month.

Monday was supposed to be CNN’s day to provide television pool coverage, but CNN was banned by Trump, so the White House had to find a replacement, but all of the other networks said no.

CNN, MS NOW, and Politico wrote in their federal lawsuit against the ban:

This ban could not be a more direct assault on the First Amendment nor a more blatant violation of our most fundamental constitutional principles. Presidents from the earliest days of the Republic have disagreed with and complained about the tenor and content of press coverage of their administrations. But as the Supreme Court has recognized, the First Amendment including its guarantee of a free press, reflects “a profound national commitment to the principle that debate on public issues should be uninhibited, robust, and wide-open, and that it may well include vehement, caustic, and sometimes unpleasantly sharp attacks on government and public officials.” New York Times Co. v. Sullivan, 376 U.S. 254, 270 (1964).

And the Constitution protects the liberty and property interests that news organizations and White House reporters have in their press credentials and the access those credentials afford them to cover the White House for the benefit of the public. No official can deprive Plaintiffs of those interests on a whim—with no notice, no process, and no warning—as the President did here.

Other networks, including Fox News, are placing the First Amendment ahead of Donald Trump.

One of the great underreported stories of the second Trump administration is the rampant level of corruption that seems to be starting at the top in the Oval Office and working its way through the cabinet.

Perhaps if Trump had not set the economy on fire and started a war in the Middle East, along with consistently breaking the law on everything from his ballroom construction to banning reporters, the country might be able to zoom in and focus on his corruption and that of his administration.

No president and his family have profited off the presidency like the Trumps are, and on Sunday, Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker talked about that corruption.

Pritzker was asked on ABC’s This Week about a Russian oligarch paying for Donald Trump Jr.’s wedding, and if this is an issue for Democrats.

The governor answered:

I think the issue is the corruption in Washington by Donald Trump. Look, just look at it. I mean, he's literally -- it's the first time in his life he's actually made money. He didn't make money in business. He went bankrupt, what, six times? And here he is now. He's president of the United States. He's essentially stealing from the American public and certainly making money, making decisions that shouldn't be made, so that he can put money in his pockets, and so that -- and he can put money in his own family's pockets, and the sycophants that are around him, too, they're all making money, Howard Lutnick.

Pritzker had more to say about Trump’s corruption and whether impeachment is the answer.

Trump wants to convert an arch into a military complex.

The president posted on Truth Social:

At the strong request of the United States Military, and for National Security purposes, I have agreed to convert the magnificent Triumphal Arch, planned since the Civil War Era many years ago, at the Receptive Circle adjoining the Arlington Memorial Bridge, into a top grade Military Complex/Triumphal Arch, to house, store, and have the rapid ability to use large numbers of drones, plus Snipers, on both the roof and plaza areas, and additionally have and hold large quantities of sniper ammunition in storage.

There will be no facility like this anywhere in the World. Out of the 59 top cities and Capitals, Washington, D.C., IS THE ONLY ONE IN THE WORLD THAT DOES NOT HAVE A TRIUMPHAL ARCH, but it will now and, by far, the greatest of them all! Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Trump’s idea is absolutely bonkers. Washington, D.C. does not need an arch that acts as a military complex, and it is being immediately called out as crazy.

This was Trump’s response on Friday when reporters pointed out to him that when he did this during his first administration, he lost in court:

I think it’s good. I think it’s good to point it out whether it survives or doesn’t. I mean, I don’t think a court should allow... Depends on the judge you get, to be honest with you.

I don’t think that a court should allow fake news to be written day after day after day. I think that somebody has a right to keep them away if they’re gonna write false stories all the time.

Trump admitted that he is likely to lose in court, so he hopes to get a MAGA judge who will rule in his favor.

On Saturday morning, reporters from CNN and MS NOW showed up for work and were denied access to the White House, and also had their badges confiscated.

CNN’s Betsy Klein reported, “I asked him if he could provide an explanation as to why it had been deactivated. He said he had no further information. I asked him once more if he had any more details he could share with me, and he said that I should be referred to the White House Press Office.”

Politico also had its access denied on Saturday.

That is until Trump came back into office and began ignoring the law to do whatever he wanted. Trump’s attitude has physically manifested itself in his constant vandalism of the White House and the Kennedy Center, which he has no authority to do, but he did anyway.

Trump has used executive orders to try to get rid of birthright citizenship and federalize US elections. To Donald Trump, his dictates supersede the Constitution.

Never has a president whined so much about his media coverage, and never has a White House press corps been so sycophantic, at least not in the age of modern media.

Trump has responded to the relentless White House media fawning by stating that he is going to ban reporters from CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from the White House.

Why is this happening now? Because Trump doesn’t like their coverage.

Trump was asked during a White House event on healthcare, “ Mr. President, freedom of the press is enshrined in the First Amendment. Are you trying to intimidate the press from doing its job?”

Trump answered, “No, no, no, no. I, I dislike dishonest press, like you. I think you're terrible. But I dislike dishonest... I like to see honest press.”

When reporters pressed him on the ban, Trump admitted accidentally that he thinks the White House is his house.

No family name is more synonymous with public service in the United States than the Kennedys. The Kennedy family dedicates itself to serving the public, which, whether he realizes it or not, is why Donald Trump is so obsessed with attaching his name to, or destroying, the Kennedy Center.

Trump has turned the presidency into an institution that serves him. Trump doesn’t believe that he has a responsibility to serve the public. Instead, Trump demands that he be placed above everyone else and served like a king.

The president’s job is not to attach his name to buildings or threaten to destroy the Kennedy Center. Trump’s job is to serve the American people, but Donald Trump has no interest in doing that job.

Kerry Kennedy was interviewed on MS NOW by Peter Alexander who asked, “ What does President Trump miss about what it means to be a leader as we witness his efforts related to The Kennedy Center?”

Kennedy answered:

My uncle really asked people to serve our country. He believed that government was there to help those who are most in need, and to bring freedom to the widest possible number of people in our country and around the world, and I don't think that's what President Trump is all about.

He wants to put his name on this building. He's trying to put it on the building of the United States Institute of Peace. And this is not service to the people. We're in a place in our country now where people can't afford gas, they can't afford food, they can't afford healthcare, they can't afford childcare. He, President Trump, please focus on your job and leave the arts alone.

Republicans had been targeting Sen. Jon Ossoff’s seat for years as a potential flip. The GOP had planned to dump massive amounts of money into Georgia to flip the Senate seat, but then Trump happened.

The New York Times reported:

In Georgia, Republican strategists are privately discussing whether the Senate race has drifted beyond the party’s reach.

…

The first big state that could fall off the map for Republicans is Georgia.

…

Some Republicans have quietly begun to discuss the pros and cons of redirecting resources away from the state, where Representative Mike Collins, the party’s nominee, has trailed Mr. Ossoff in the polls.

There are always stages that every incumbent political party goes through when it realizes it is about to be blown out.

Stage one is that the party gives up on states or districts that it thought it could flip. That is what is happening in Georgia.

We just got our first look at stage two over the border in Florida.

Anyone who understands Donald Trump and his brand of politics could read through the code when the White House announced that the president was coming to North Carolina to talk about “crime.”

If Trump really came to North Carolina to talk only about crime, the speech was a waste of time.

The president did repeat his talking points about crime. Almost all of them were false and designed to praise himself, but then Trump got to what seemed to be the real point of his speech.

Trump went to North Carolina to talk to his white supporters about a certain kind of crime, and given that this is Donald Trump, who is about as subtle as slamming your finger with a hammer, he made it impossible to ignore what he was really trying to say.

Most people talk about Willie Horton-style campaign politics to describe the infamously racist ad that the George H.W. Bush campaign used against Michael Dukakis in 1988.

Trump unveiled his version of the Willie Horton ad targeting Democratic Senate candidate and former Gov. Roy Cooper, and then talked about Willie Horton.

Before Trump claimed he had closed the Kennedy Center because the building was dangerous and in need of repair, he showed up on a call with the Center’s board to throw a tantrum over a judge blocking him from adding his name to the building.

America is at war. Oil is over $100/barrel, inflation has made life unaffordable, but the President Of The United States made time to be on a call about a building.\

CNN reported:

“It was f**king crazy,” said one source familiar with the exchange between Trump and Rep. Joyce Beatty, whose lawsuit has prevented Trump’s name from being added to the building.

Another source said Trump screamed, blaming Beatty for getting the courts involved and leading to the downfall of the performing arts center. Beatty told Trump he had put the Kennedy Center into deep debt, the third source said.

Trump has operated this way for as long as anyone can remember. His presidency has done the same thing to te country as a whole. Debt is how Trump operates.

The president put the Kennedy Center into debt by making it toxic to the point where performers canceled and donations dried up.

Donald Trump has been pushing for the passage of a crypto bill for months. It looked like the Senate might advance the legislation on Tuesday, but Democrats reversed course and were joined by four Republicans to block the legislation from advancing.

Democrats voted no because Republicans tried to pass text that did not address Trump’s crypto corruption.

Politico reported:

Democrats said new text unveiled by Republicans over the weekend didn’t do enough to crack down on Trump’s ability to profit from his family’s crypto businesses, which have been an obstacle to legislating in the crypto space since he returned to office last year. Trump earned more than $1.4 billion in income through several crypto ventures in 2025. Democrats were also pushing for policy changes to a pair of other sections of the measure, in part to address concerns raised by prosecutors about their authority to go after illicit finance.

Three Republicans — Sens. Susan Collins of Maine, Josh Hawley of Missouri and Jerry Moran of Kansas — also voted against the measure. Several GOP senators who voted in favor of advancing it on Tuesday said they would be opposed to ultimately passing it without changes to address concerns raised by the banking industry.

Republicans wouldn’t regulate Trump, so Democrats blocked the bill.

The president attacked the Supreme Court, but within his long rant was an admission of the real reason why he is trying to rig the midterm election:

This Supreme Court is bullied and cajoled by the Radical Left into making decisions that have set America back at least a hundred years. These are not the people I interviewed to serve on the United States Supreme Court, they are merely a shell of their original selves, a Court that is costing the United States Trillions of Dollars with shockingly bad rulings that are of such magnitude that it won’t be easily possible for our Country to recover or heal.

It is a Court that will go down as having rendered some of the most destructive, hurtful, and damaging decisions in our Country’s history. It is not easy for me to write this criticism of the United States Supreme Court - it will likely cost me dearly for years to come - but I feel it my obligation and duty, as President, to do so for the America we love! Thank you for your attention to this very important matter.

Trump doesn’t care about the country. This is all about what will benefit him. Trump criticized the court to try to make them rule for him in the future.

But later, things got crazy.

Donald Trump is like a Scooby Doo villain because at the end of each of his malevolent episodes, the plot fails, and it always comes down to him almost getting away with the scheme, except for someone who stood up and took the president to court.

In the case of Trump’s effort to interfere with mail-in voting and disenfranchise up to 30% of the electorate through an executive order that his USPS was all too happy to attempt to implement, the president would have gotten away with it if it wasn’t for a group of Democratic run states that challenged him at every turn.

The leader of this effort was California AG Rob Bonta, who appeared on MS NOW’s The Rachel Maddow Show on Monday night and said:

 What we really wanna emphasize here is that the Trump administration lost at the federal trial court level, they lost at the appellate court level, and then they lost at the US Supreme Court. And this is a critical stay that preserves the right to vote by mail which is used in all 50 states, some more than others, including in California. And the right to vote is the that fundamental right from which all other rights flow.

And so this is a very important day for the rule of law, for democracy, and sometimes we gotta take this one all the way to the top, to the US Supreme Court to win, but we did win. We stayed in this fight. Very proud of our group of attorneys general from across the states, working hard, fighting hard to protect rights and freedoms, including your right to vote.

And your final point is also one I wanna emphasize, that now it's, it is business as usual. There are many ways, many days to vote. You can vote by mail. You can cast your ballot in the mail and receive it through the mail. You can cast it, ca- drop your ballot in a dropbox. You can go in person and drop your ballot there or vote in person with a in-person ballot. All the ways and days are now available to you, and Trump's attempt to interfere with and infringe upon your fundamental right to vote for whatever reasons, whether it's his tanking polls or or his conspiracy theories that he's advancing those have been put to an end in this election by this very important ruling.

So we're grateful for it. It's what we sought. It's what It is the right outcome and the right ruling, and we're grateful that we have this certainty as we approach the election just 50 days away.

Video:

Bonta said that a stake has been driven through the heart of Trump’s chaos and election interference, “ For this November, the interference that Trump tried to visit upon our elections, our vote-by-mail election system through this unlawful executive order is it, put a knife to its heart or a stake through its heart. It's done. It's over. It cannot be resurrected. The final word has been dictated and declared by the highest court in the land. So there will be no interference in the US Postal Service by Trump through this executive order.”

Trump will try other methods of election interference, but he is obsessed with vote by mail, and his plan might have been successful if it wasn’t for Democrats fighting back to protect the vote.
