Journalists have had access to the Pentagon since it opened in 1943. The Trump administration is the first to cite “security” as a reason to bar them. It’s simply untrue that the judge’s ruling vacated screening precautions for media access.
Sean Parnell@SeanParnellASW

On March 20, 2026, a U.S. District Court judge vacated key security provisions of the Pentagon's October 2025 media access policy. The court removed every provision that allowed the Department to screen press credential holders for security risks and every provision that allowed the Department to deny, revoke, or suspend a press credential based on security considerations — while simultaneously ordering the Department to immediately reinstate press credentials for the New York Times. The Department always complies with court orders but disagrees with the decision and is pursuing an appeal. In the interim, and in compliance with the court's order, I have signed the revised "Pentagon Reservation In-Brief for Media Members," effective immediately. Here is what the revised policy does: Closure of Correspondents' Corridor. In assessing the Department's security posture following the court's removal of all security screening authority, the Department determined that unescorted access to the Pentagon cannot be responsibly maintained without the ability to screen credential holders for security risks. Effective immediately, the Correspondents' Corridor is closed. A new and improved press workspace will be established in an annex facility outside the Pentagon, but still on Pentagon grounds, and will be available when ready. Escorted Access Only. All journalist access to the Pentagon will require escort by authorized Department personnel. Credential holders will continue to have access to the Pentagon for scheduled press briefings, press conferences, and interviews arranged through public affairs offices. The Department remains committed to transparency and to working with credentialed journalists who cover the Department and the U.S. military. The Department is equally committed to the security of the Pentagon and the protection of the men and women who work there. The revised policy reflects both commitments.

I’m not sure I understand what the value of these supposed “peace talks” are if all that’s being demanded of Ukraine by the US is to give up territory that Russia can’t win militarily. The US has stopped funding Ukraine so what’s in it for Ukraine?
NEXTA@nexta_tv

The US and Russia are pressuring Ukraine over Donbas — or the US may walk away from talks According to Ukrainska Pravda, Kyiv is being pushed to withdraw its troops from Donbas. Sources say that if there is no progress, Washington could exit the negotiations and shift focus to a military operation against Iran.

Seven years ago, we learned about Bob Mueller’s conclusions. Today, there are a lot of posts on social media claiming it was a farce, or worse, a fraud. But those posts are disinformation. Here is the actual information, with links for those who want to do a deep dive. open.substack.com/pub/joycevance…

Trump caused a $3 trillion swing in capitalization of the US securities markets with his bleat about “very good and productive conversations regarding a complete and total resolution of our hostilities in the Middle East.” Within 30 minutes, Iran categorically that claim -C Sykes

@RonFilipkowski We’ve got money for a Presidential ballroom and jet, Kennedy Center renovations, war with Iran, and a moon base. But no money for health care or ability to pay or bills. Sure seems like Dems should be able to win on that messaging.
