Should an AI bot write your news? The unionized employees of the @PioneerPress don't think so. Tell our bosses that you don't want an algorithm deciding what you read: act.aflcio.org/letters/tell-…

The Pentagon Press Association just released this statement: "The Pentagon Press Association expresses its solidarity with White House reporters banned by President Donald Trump. The PPA notes that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth expressed his support for the decision, almost a year after he took the unprecedented step of withdrawing the valid press credentials of nearly the entirety of the Pentagon Press Corps. Our position then, as it is now, is that media access to the Pentagon, as well as others federal agencies, is critical to ensuring the flow of independent, accurate information to the American people about what their government does in their names."
