10:35Now PlayingTrump is threatening a $5 billion lawsuit over a report challenging his National Guard crime claims while Pentagon leadership is firing journalists who resisted censorship and reported concerns from military families. Stars and Stripes has lost senior leadership, critics inside the administration are disappearing, and officials willing to challenge Trump’s version of reality increasingly find themselves threatened, removed, or publicly attacked. Censorship in 2026 does not always look like a banned book. Sometimes it looks like a legal bill, a termination notice, and a government official demanding everyone fall in line. Ring of Fire's Josh G. explains.
