Summary

The Pentagon announced a new annual media rotation program, removing established outlets like NBC News, The New York Times, NPR, and Politico from dedicated workspaces.

The memo orders these organizations to vacate their offices in two weeks, while replacing them with outlets such as OANN, New York Post, Breitbart, and HuffPost.

NBC News expressed disappointment over losing long-held technical capabilities essential for timely reporting.

The move follows Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s narrow confirmation and signals a broader effort to reshape Pentagon media access, transforming U.S. government communications permanently.

    Are there enough of “us” to act and not be destroyed?

    Edit: I should add:

    • economic destruction
    • civil rights destruction
    • health destruction
    • actual death and destruction

    All feel probable to possible in the current environment. They just escorted all FBI agents who may have investigated Trump out of their offices for instance.

      if you want to act most effectively you need to distribute the action across any many avenues as possible, to ensure as many people engage as they possibly can.
