A man best known for going after Trump’s political enemies is now the acting DNI — as Congress debates renewing a law already exploited to spy on Americans.

That's bad news for press freedom, and for your privacy rights.

Journalists who have fought back against the administration's censorship have almost all prevailed. This lawsuit should be another winner.

There's no excuse for taking these attacks lying down. https://t.co/12kxMCHDFY

Great piece from First Amendment scholar Matthew Schafer on the press freedom legislation the Trump admin has proven we urgently need, from the PRESS Act to protect source confidentiality to Espionage Act reform to stop criminalization of newsgathering.

"I’m one of many Jews working to stop the Ellisons from throwing American journalism under the bus to appease Donald Trump," FPF’s Chief of Advocacy Seth Stern told @JNS_org. Makan Delrahim’s comment is "offensive and ridiculous."

"What a schmendrik."

This is not how it works. If judges closed hearings anytime parties to a case wanted them closed, there would be no open hearings.

Requests for secret court proceedings should be met with extreme constitutional scrutiny, not rubber stamps. https://t.co/Fcdo4Fwffb

Police want to decide which journalists can cover the Delaney Hall protests in Newark, New Jersey.

But if an officer can point at someone and declare they are not press, the First Amendment ceases to have meaning.

If Israel believes its actions can withstand scrutiny, it should let journalists report freely.

Instead, it’s blacklisting foreign reporters and shutting them out entirely from Gaza.

Journalists should be able to tell the public what Penn State’s trustees actually think. Silencing criticism and dissent is how problems stay hidden.

Good for these Pennsylvania news outlets for challenging this unconstitutional policy.

Without the press, "we wouldn’t have a complete sense of what’s really happening on the street. We would not know if the police are heroes or villains" or "if the protesters are heroes or villains," FPF's @adjoro told @SteveJanoski and @krystalknapp. https://t.co/zxGRFKyApU

Turns out, when you stand up to a bully, you win.

News outlets are fighting back against Trump — and it’s working.

@ABC is standing up to the FCC. @nytimes is suing the Pentagon. @WSJ is resisting subpoenas. All while his DOJ is losing again and again.

"It’s rare for anything other than disingenuous spin and outright lies to come out of the Pentagon’s press office these days, so it’s hard to imagine what basis they have to call the space classified," FPF's @SethAStern told @John_F_Power.
