Update:
I just watched crews from CNN and MS NOW be let back onto the White House grounds.
The lights are now back on in CNN’s tents and a crew from MS NOW is set up and already live on the grass.
Despite this ruling overnight, crews from CNN, MS NOW, and POLITICO are still not being let back onto the White House grounds.
There’s hope that will change at 9am ET when “regular business hours” start, but it’s still concerning.
As I was just let through the expanded security perimeter in place for Chinese President Xi Jinping’s state visit, the CNN crew right next to me was not allowed in, which is wrong.

White House defying court order
NEW: Journalists for CNN, MS NOW and Politico remained banned Thursday morning, hours after a federal judge ordered their access restored. These journalists were turned away and, in some cases, had credentials confiscated. w/ @victoria_craw

A Politico reporter was denied access to the White House and had his press credentials taken this morning despite a judge's order overruling the White House ban. @meganmesserly politico.com/news/2026/09/24…

New: Sen Majority Leader Thune tells me @scrippsnews gas prices right now are “…the most visible manifestation of the economy”
Thune: “It's a reminder of some of the economic issues [people are] dealing with at home…the best thing that could happen is getting the Strait open.”

New: Sen. Majority Leader John Thune says it’s “still to be determined” if the Senate stays in session next week.
THUNE: “Don’t make any plans yet … we planned on being here next week, and I'd say that still looks like the case …”

Very proud that Scripps News' parent company, E.W. Scripps Co., signed on to an amicus brief from the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press, the WHCA + 48 more media outlets opposing the Trump admin’s targeting of the free press.

Sen Pres Pro-tem Chuck Grassley tells me Pres. Trump “shouldn’t” ban CNN and other outlets from the White House
I asked if he ‘disagrees’ with Trump:
GRASSLEY: “I'm not saying I disagree with him, you asked me a question, and I answered, I said, ‘he shouldn't have done that!’”

Notable from NYT -- many other photogs/wires withheld disseminating images yesterday, but released them at midnight last night and have been filing throughout the day today
ALT “The New York Times will continue to withhold publication or distribution of images captured as part of the White House still photography pool, in support of the media organizations that President Trump has targeted with a ban. We’ll maintain this policy until a court has the chance to hear arguments on the legal claims filed by those media organizations. We remain committed to covering the president and his administration with thorough, unflinching news reporting. Alongside the broadcast outlets that have suspended their video pool coverage of the president, The Times’s decision recognizes that barring these media outlets is unequal treatment and punitive retaliation for simply reporting the news.” — Charlie Stadtlander, a spokesperson for The New York Times

Leader Thune on if Senate Judiciary should launch an inquiry into Donald Trump Jr. ⬇️
“I don’t have enough information. I don’t really have any further observations about it. That’s a decision Chairman Grassley would have to make.”
New @scrippsnews: Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley just told reporters he has not read Sen. Curtis’ letter calling for an investigation into Donald Trump Jr., telling reporters: “I just got to town!”

Hunter Biden on Sen. Curtis’ call for him and Don Jr to be subpoenaed by the Senate Judiciary Committee:
“I'll sit next to Don Jr. and testify any time, any place. Eric and Jared can join us too. No need for a subpoena. Let's all do it tomorrow.”
Sen. Curtis of Utah has suggested that Don Jr. and I should testify before Congress.
I say bring it on. I've already given more than seven hours of sworn testimony. More than three dozen witnesses testified across two chambers.
I had no foreign business dealings while my father was president. None. I painted paintings, and I still do.
I'll sit next to Don Jr. and testify any time, any place. Eric and Jared can join us too. No need for a subpoena. Let's all do it tomorrow.

NEW: A spox for the Sen Judiciary Committee's majority tells @scrippsnews that they have received Sen. Curtis' letter, but effectively ruled out any investigative hearing on Donald Trump Jr./Hunter Biden this Congress, claiming it could months/years to schedule & time is limited.
A toaster is a wedding gift. A private-island party paid for by a Putin-connected oligarch is something else. Republicans nearly wore out the subpoena machine investigating Hunter Biden’s foreign relationships. We should not unplug it now. ‘Trust us’ was not enough then, and it is not enough now.
