Now journalists cannot access the Dep of State without PRIOR ARRANGEMENT/APPROVAL.
Prior, credentialed press could access the building with a daily pass issued right on spot, pressers were open coverage as well as any “special events”. You could also apply for a permanent pass.

Several Republican state senators in Indiana have blocked Governor Mike Braun’s attempts to gerrymander.
Here is a quote from one them, Spencer Deery. It is a relief to know that some Republicans seem to understand the purpose of elections…albeit rarely.
Trump is furious about it.
