Last week’s federal court decision forbidding the Trump administration from punishing the AP for refusing to rename the Gulf of Mexico was to take effect Monday. The administration is appealing the decision and arguing with the news outlet over whether it needs to change anything until those appeals are exhausted.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. circuit set a Thursday hearing on Trump’s request that any changes be delayed while case is reviewed. The AP is fighting for more access as soon as possible.

Americans are still going “CAN THEY DO THAT???” every day.

When they announce martial law, people are still going to be like “Well, this is not good, I’m going to rethink my vote!”

When the announce martial law

Why bother even announcing martial law? Trump’s DHS is functionally implementing it as we speak. We are in a state of de facto martial law whether we want to acknowledge it as such or not.

I mean, you’re absolutely right, there’s no need to do things by the book when you never picked up the book in the first place.

That’s all complacent liberal America wants to hear, that there’s NO formal declaration of martial law, thus everything must be fine!
