We applaud Maryland's @RepRaskin as the Protect Reporters from Exploitative State Spying (PRESS) Act, which he sponsored, passes unanimously in the House. We urge the Senate to follow suit and protect reporters!

So thankful for my "second family" the Hanberrys who so generously support Batson Children's Hospital in sweet Maggie's honor through Giving Grace. We love and miss her every day. Thank you @OleMissGives for this wonderful encapsulation of Maggie's story.

[Mickey Osterreicher @nppalawyer]

“We fear that, rather than acting as a shield to ensure ‘officer safety,’ this law will serve as a sword to abridge the ‘clearly established’ First Amendment right to video record police officers performing their official duties in public,” https://t.co/VdFSGFxcRH

[NPPA @NPPA]

“If the U.S. government has evidence of Austin’s whereabouts and circumstances, it is beyond time to pull out all the stops to reach a solution. That starts with direct engagement with the Syrian government,” writes McClatchy Chairman and CEO Tony Hunter.
