Omg about time a news org develops a spine against this madness. Always appreciate your attention to this! Our field needs more journalists like you

Agree so much. Media and everyone else must remind them at every turn what our constitution says.

The Trump Administration seeks not just to control the press, but reality. The truth is what the self-proclaimed king says it is. That will be enforced with the iron boot of the state. Pure totalitarianism.

Nice. Put it in a language Trump understands. Dude knows how to sue. He should appreciate members of his regime getting sued. Gulf of America. This is the only one that I recognize.

Do you have any read on what it might mean that they are (apparently) making a freedom of speech rather than a freedom of the press argument? That seems interesting and potentially more capacious/empowering for the rest of us.

True but I feel the AP on Politics could be useful in another way. The Political AP can report on the White House daily and their federal legality. They don’t have to ask the press secretary any questions. They do need to know the U.S. Constitution though. Is the Constitution blue or red now?
