Senior Judge Paul Friedman of the US District Court for the DC said Thursday that the #Trump admin’s decision to remove credentialed #reporters from the #Pentagon in response to his ruling striking down a prior #press policy “flouts the Court’s explicit directives & disregards the constitutional principles at the heart” of his March order. #Hegseth #law #Constitution #FirstAmendment #FreePress #FreeSpeech #journalism #FourthEstate

“The Court cannot conclude this Opinion without noting once again what this case is really about: the attempt by the Secretary of #Defense to #dictate the #information received by the American people, to control the message so that the public hears & sees only what the Secretary & the #Trump Administration want them to hear & see,” Friedman appointee wrote. #law #Constitution #FirstAmendment #FreePress #FreeSpeech #press #journalism #FourthEstate #Hegseth #dictatorship #fascism #propaganda

Just read this sobering retrospective from @NiemanLab on Jeff Bezos and the Washington Post. It tracks the arc from 2013—when Bezos was the "badass" billionaire savior of journalism—to February 2026, where he has largely gone silent during a "bloodbath" of layoffs (30% of the newsroom) and a pivot toward "free market" editorializing. The piece highlights: The 300+ jobs cut yesterday (Feb 4), including bureaus and the Amazon reporter. The shift from "curious steward" to distant owner. How the 2024 non-endorsement was just the start of a broader "preemptive obedience" to power. It’s a case study in how quickly a "pillar of democracy" can be hollowed out when its ownership priorities shift.

New details about the FBI's raid on Washington Post reporter Hannah Natanson's home have come out in government court filings--including details about what devices agents seized. Incredibly--agents compelled Natanson to unlock one of her MacBook computers using her fingerprint. This raid demonstrates the problems with biometrics--and what some courts are getting wrong about them.
