6,870 books were banned nationwide, including 596 by the Department of Defense

Trump removed more than 8,000 government web pages

The White House purged the press pool and replaced journalists with MAGA influencers
Reporting by Vanity Fair, PBS NewsHour, and The Guardian documents how critical outlets were removed from the press pool and replaced with ideologically loyal MAGA influencers – not journalists, not press.
Trump filed multi-billion-dollar lawsuits against major media outlets
According to reporting from Deadline, Axios, and CNBC, Trump has sued CBS/Paramount (for $20B), The New York Times (for $15B), The Wall Street Journal (for $10B), and the BBC (for $5B) – for a combined total of $50 billion.
Trump directly pressured networks to fire Jimmy Kimmel

CBS News pulled a 60 Minutes segment on torture at CECOT
