This.
The AP must refuse this but more importantly the rest of the White House Correspondents Association should back them.
Boycott the press briefings until they relent, and if they refuse, walk out. There is no real use to them in any case.
Trump craves attention. Deny him that and he’ll cave.

"Today we were informed by the White House that if AP did not align its editorial standards with President Donald Trump’s executive order renaming the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America, AP would be barred from accessing an event in the Oval Office."

For all the unfair characterizations of women as being subpar “DEI” hires, most of the BEST managers I've ever reported to were women.
I can think of TWO highly-qualified Women in particular who aren't convicted felons who would be a TRILLION times better than the buzzard in the Oval Office.

Safeguard Treasury payment systems from partisan overreach
The attempt by Elon Musk's allies to gain access to the Treasury Department's sensitive payment systems that distribute over $6 trillion annually is deeply concerning. This includes funds for Social Security, Medicare, federal employee salaries, tax refunds, and payments to government contractors and grant recipients relied upon by millions nationwide. Allowing any undue political influence over these critical systems could jeopardize their proper functioning and the timely disbursement of essential funds. A career official's recent retirement after clashing with Musk's surrogates on this issue underscores the gravity of the situation. Congress must condemn these efforts and take action to safeguard the independence and security of the Treasury's payment infrastructure from partisan agendas or overreach. The integrity of these systems is vital to preserve public trust and ensure the government can meet its financial obligations.

This is my coping strategy. Ignore the hot air.
A lot of folks didn’t learn this lesson during Trump’s first term, apparently:
Focus on what he does, not what he says.
He’s going to say a lot of things, but those things are meant to distract you from what he’s doing.

This is encouraging.
Together with 280+ pro-democracy organizations representing millions of people, we established a multimillion-dollar war chest that will allow us to take legal action, represent clients pro bono, and provide resources to people and communities harmed by the second Trump administration.

Just changed my internet provider to Firefox and search engine to DuckDuckGo. From now on, I will avoid buying from Amazon.

The usual suspects are out there yelling "There are 23 million government workers! Fire most of them!" No awareness that most work for local governments, and most of *them* are schoolteachers. Federal employment hasn't grown since the 1950s
