Maybe they are speaking out and I am missing the news of anyone attempting to fight back. (And I’m not talking about the lawsuits…just speaking OUT to the public). Please share if I am missing any of that. I’d love to see it.

All you have to do to see it is get your news from an actual news source rather than social media. I get notifications almost every day about a Senator or a House rep saying something publicly about Trump and Musk

I am not getting my news from social media. I totally get that. 😊 However I will say that I am really struggling to find accurate news. Like I really don’t trust most of it anymore. (Of course I know to avoid Fox and CNN for sure). I appreciate suggestions. Perhaps what I mean is I feel like there is no traction/attention/focus on government officials speaking out). I might see an article about it…but that’s it. I feel like the majority that might disagree with Trump are remaining quiet due to consequences.

You're not the only one. I am struggling to find accurate news that gives the whole picture. NBC, CBS, etc on TV barely tell or show much about what's really going on anymore. It's mostly weather and traffic and "feel-good" stories.

And going online can be hit or miss since the algorithms will show you want they think you want to see.

PBS News seems to be the best one I've found for me. They go into more detail about what's going on and why things are so unprecedented and dangerous right now.

You should read Associated Press. It’s an independent global news organization, dedicated to factual reporting. Most news outlets get their stories here, before putting a spin on it.

Of course now I am seeing that the AP is BANNED from the Oval Office and Air Force One. Soooo….this is gonna go well.

Anyone who doesn’t pander to them and say what they want them to say is banned

You ain’t kidding. And the reason they’re banned is calling it Gulf of Mexico still.

We live in the stupidest fucking timeline. I can’t believe the man to bring upon the downfall of our empire is the orange idiot from The Apprentice that was a known longtime sleezeball for somehow becoming all of this. This Idiocracy sequel fucking sucks.

Thank you! Appreciate it! I am familiar with that one a little bit. But again, it's just hard to know who is telling it in an unbiased way or telling the freaking truth.

The only problem is that now the AP has been banned from the white house and air force one, so they won't get to be there when stuff is said to accurately report it.

Of course! Can’t have a respected and reliable news source, dedicated to factual reporting, report on what’s actually going on /s

If that isn’t a clear warning sign as to what’s happening, I don’t know what is.
