Trump Bans CNN, Netanyahu Name-Drops Hasan Piker, and Fetterman Keeps the Iran War Going

Trump bans CNN, MS NOW and Politico from the White House, launches a 24-hour Trump TV stream his own company then tries to trademark, and runs taxpayer-funded ads of himself set to the song "Love Me." We get into the chilling effect, ProPublica's reporting on Susan Collins and a defense contractor, a Putin-linked oligarch paying for Don Jr.'s wedding, RFK Jr.'s $4 million in book advances, John Fetterman casting the deciding vote to keep the Iran war going, and the Houthis hitting Riyadh. Then the UN: Netanyahu name-drops Hasan Piker from the podium, and Trump tells the world AI fears are the same hoax as climate change and that AI should be renamed "SI" — while Xi talks about keeping AI under human control and walks away looking like the adult in the room. Plus the Sanders–Casar superintelligence ban, whether the AI "race" with China is even real, Hegseth's get-out-the-vote video, and why China doesn't work as a campaign villain anymore. #Trump #PressFreedom #CNN #TrumpTV #SusanCollins #TroyJackson #DonJr #RFKJr #Fetterman #IranWar #Netanyahu #HasanPiker #Mamdani #UNGA #AI #Superintelligence #China #XiJinping #Hegseth #Midterms2026
