President Trump said he will continue to restrict The Associated Press’ access to his events and news conferences until the outlet goes along with his renaming of the Gulf of Mexico in its reports. He acknowledged that the move was a presidential retaliation against AP's editorial policy.

Can’t be in D.C. in a few hours? Then you will definitely want to watch the rally at the Treasury building. This is going to be a big event with lots of speakers that you’ll want to hear from.

Senator Andy Kim just went to the USAID building, talked to the security guard there to confirm employees are being barred entry, and then did a press gaggle right there in front to call it out.

This is doing something. This is making an effort on messaging. Other Democratic lawmakers: take notes.

Do not wait for other people to act. Do not wait for someone else to call the play. These are unprecedented times with an unhinged, anti-democratic fascist enabled by a cowardly GOP. If you're scared, take action. We're all scrambling right now and courage is contagious.

We don't know the full spectrum of what's being affected, in part, because the people responsible are still getting their stories straight and figuring out how the machines they are turning on and off even function. The backlash they have encountered from the public has been important.
