Before they install all trump media in the press room

those if there are any left reporters need to STRONGLY press trump and his lying press secretary in the press room with questions about the obviously illegal and immoral actions they are taking. Demand answers and don't let up. This will infuriate them and these things get good coverage. Ask why Musk is running the government and who gave him any authority. Ask trump if he or Musk in the actual president. This will surely piss him off and when pissed off he says what he really thinks. We will need the evidence for his impeachment trial.

... into a much smaller room. But even that didn't offer enough control over the message and Trump ended pressers altogether in his final year. That made his press secretary the easiest job in DC by ending face to face questioning. Instead all questions were submitted in writing allowing the administration to fine tune their message at their leisure. I have a feeling he'll soon do it again.

Biden moved back into the original room soon after entering office.

“No, but we have some very bad people there … I wasn’t involved in that. But if they want to fire some people, it is fine with me.”

Regardless of who is actually calling the shots, Trump is laughably claiming plausible deniability. He's not going to take responsibility.
You know, he's just sitting around watching what they are doing. He's given everybody free reign.
