Ready for another dismissal snd embarrassment for the Trump justice department The Case Against Don Lemon Is Junk, and Dangerous One year in, the #Trump administration has amassed a startling record of hostility toward open public discourse—including barring journalists from the White House press pool, evicting any less-than-sycophantic reporters from the Pentagon, and, just this month, sending the #FBI to search the home of a WP reporter. Today, it crossed a new line. It arrested two journalists: #DonLemon, the former #CNN news personality, and #GeorgiaFort, a freelance reporter based in #Minnesota. https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/2026/01/don-lemon-arrest/685840/

"Trump has employed the chaos strategy for years, doing so many awful things all at once so his political opponents can’t craft a message to address it all or successfully organize to stop his obvious wrongs. But it’s especially terrifying now, as the strategy is an effort to get away with literal murder, financial heist, and election rigging." #DonLemon #GeorgiaFort #Trump #ReneeGood #AlexPretti #ICE #murder #execution #media #journalists #FirstAmendment #WhiteSupremacy /14

"As Americans watch in horror as immigration goons are jailing innocent kids and killing U.S. citizens who dare to exercise their constitutional rights, President Donald Trump is flooding the zone with so much chaotic and horrific news in an effort to overwhelm the public." ~ Emily Singer #DonLemon #GeorgiaFort #Trump #ReneeGood #AlexPretti #ICE #murder #execution #media #journalists #FirstAmendment #WhiteSupremacy /13 https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2026/1/30/2366304/-Trump-floods-the-zone-with-chaos-to-get-away-with-murder-literally

"It’s about intimidating journalists & attempting to make them censure themselves out of fear of consequences, which can be very expensive, especially for an independent journalist who lacks the backing of a major company. It’s about eroding the free press because the administration can’t afford the criticism." ~ Joyce Vance #DonLemon #GeorgiaFort #Trump #media #journalists #FirstAmendment /11 https://joycevance.substack.com/p/why-indict-don-lemon

"When the Washington Post reporter's home was searched, her computer, her phone were seized, and The owner of the Washington Post, Jeff Bezos, said nothing. He still has said nothing. This is the reaction you get from legacy media when their reporters are abused." #DonLemon #GeorgiaFort #Trump #media #journalists #FirstAmendment #normalization #JeffBezos #WashingtonPost /10

"The fact that independent media now has such a great burden to carry is both our privilege, our obligation, and a sad commentary on what's happened to the legacy media. Now, I want to point something out, the dog that did not bark." ~ Jennifer Rubin #DonLemon #GeorgiaFort #Trump #media #journalists #FirstAmendment #normalization #JeffBezos #WashingtonPost /9 https://contrarian.substack.com/p/live-april-ryan-on-don-lemon-arrest

"Every reference to Trump should include the fact that he is a twice-impeached, convicted felon who lies whenever he speaks. The press has bowed before Trump for eight years. He learned from their subservience and took the next logical step. It is time for the mainstream media to become part of the resistance. Better late than never!" #DonLemon #GeorgiaFort #Trump #media #journalists #FirstAmendment #normalization /8

"Everything Trump says is a lie, but the media dutifully repeats Trump’s lies as if they deserve equal dignity with truthful statements by Democrats. … In the face of the arrest of Don Lemon and Georgia Fort, every news agency with a White House pool reporter should recall the reporter from the assignment and turn in their White House credentials." #DonLemon #GeorgiaFort #Trump #media #journalists #FirstAmendment #normalization /7

"Members of the media are understandably outraged, as they should be. This is a five-alarm fire. But it is one that has been burning for eight years. Trump attacked, mocked, and sued journalists in his first term. But the media continued to report on Trump as if he were a 'normal' president who deserved to be treated with a presumption of regularity and respect." ~ Robert B.

"The administration is appealing to the MAGA racist and Christian nationalist base by demonstrating that it is willing to violate the Constitution to impose MAGA’s ideology on the nation. But it is also apparently trying to signal to white American citizens that they should think they are safe from an authoritarian administration: its top victims remain Black Americans and people of color." #DonLemon #GeorgiaFort #Trump #ReneeGood #AlexPretti #ICE #CBP #murder #execution #WhiteSupremacy /5

"It is a dramatic assault on the First Amendment to the Constitution, which prohibits the government from curtailing the freedom of the press. It is also a transparent attempt to change the popular narrative." #DonLemon #GeorgiaFort #Trump #ReneeGood #AlexPretti #ICE #CBP #murder #execution #media #journalists #FirstAmendment #WhiteSupremacy /4

"At its most basic level, the attack on two independent journalists is undoubtedly designed to intimidate other independent news producers from covering the Trump administration, particularly the violence of ICE and Border Patrol agents." #DonLemon #GeorgiaFort #Trump #ReneeGood #AlexPretti #ICE #CBP #murder #execution #media #journalists #FirstAmendment #WhiteSupremacy /3

"The arrests of Lemon and Fort are windows into the deep concern of administration officials about how dramatically Americans have turned against ICE and the Trump administration." #DonLemon #GeorgiaFort #Trump #ReneeGood #AlexPretti #ICE #CBP #murder #execution #media #journalists #FirstAmendment #WhiteSupremacy /2

"As the American people continue to express their fury over the violence of federal agents in Minneapolis and elsewhere, officials from the Trump administration today tried to shift the public narrative to shore up their softening base and silence their opponents." ~ Heather Cox Richardson #DonLemon #GeorgiaFort #Trump #ReneeGood #AlexPretti #ICE #murder #execution #media #journalists #FirstAmendment #WhiteSupremacy /1 https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/january-30-2026
