CNN, MS Now and Politico to sue over White House ban – US politics live

Three news outlets to sue in case that could come this week after Trump said he would ban them from White House grounds Sign up for US Breaking News emails MS NOW, CNN and Politico said they were suing the Trump Administration ⁠to protect their First Amendment ​rights after ‌president Donald Trump’s ‌announcement that he would ban ‌them from the White House’s building grounds. The three news outlets said they had notified the government that they were ‌filing their lawsuit in the US District Court for ​the District of Columbia and could see emergency hearings in the case as soon ⁠as this week, according to ​CNN. Trump refused to ​say whether he would attempt to demolish the John F Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, the iconic facility on Washington’s Potomac River.

From the ridicule of Trump to the rise of Jack Welch: how the 1980s shaped and changed America

In When America Roared, Pulitzer-winning reporter Jonathan Kaufman looks back to a decade of greed and excess, and uses it to explore where we are today Donald Trump is “so much a creature of the 80s but even in the 80s, everyone made fun of him,” Jonathan Kaufman said. General Electric CEO Jack Welch, “the most prominent business figure in the country, maybe in the world, mocked him. No one took him seriously. “Even today, if you look at the [White House] ballroom, you look at all the things he’s doing, it’s this 1980s aesthetic, right? You can just see the way he looks at the world: the glitz, the cheapness, the gold brocade everywhere. That screams 1980s. All he needs is big hair and leg warmers and listening to, I don’t know, synthetic pop, and he’d be right back in 1985.” Continue reading...
