“This morning, we notified the government that we are filing a lawsuit today to protect our First Amendment rights & defend the principle that the government does not decide what the press reports or publishes,” the three news organizations said in a joint statement on Monday. #Trump #law #Constitution #FirstAmendment #FreePress #journalism #media #RevengePolitics #MafiaState #authoritarianism #autocracy #dictatorship #fascism #tyranny

“Without notice or process, the White House revoked our journalists’ credentials because it objected to our reporting,” the news outlets said. “Left unchallenged, this threatens press freedom & the public’s right to independent journalism free from government interference.” #Trump #law #Constitution #FirstAmendment #FreePress #journalism #media #RevengePolitics #MafiaState #authoritarianism #autocracy #dictatorship #fascism #tyranny

#Trump abruptly announced on Friday afternoon that he would ban #MSNOW, #CNN & #Politico from the White House, a stark escalation in his ever-expanding battles with the #news #media. Trump attributed the ban to his displeasure with the outlets’ coverage of his admin. “There’s something wrong with a country that can allow people to write purposely negative stories,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office on Friday afternoon. #law #Constitution #FirstAmendment #FreePress #journalism #fascism

“The officer asked me to hand over my badge; he said that it was disabled,” Ms. Gardner said in an on-air interview. “I asked why I could not get inside; he said it was above him.” A photographer for #MSNOW was also asked to relinquish their badge, but a producer for the network was allowed into the #WhiteHouse, Ms. Gardner said. #Trump #law #Constitution #FirstAmendment #FreePress #journalism #media #RevengePolitics #MafiaState #authoritarianism #autocracy #dictatorship #fascism #tyranny

Betsy Klein, a veteran #CNN correspondent, described a similar experience that occurred about an hour later. She said that a #WhiteHouse security officer, whom she has known for years, informed her that her badge had been deactivated. “I asked if he had any more details he could share with me,” Ms. Klein said in an on-air interview. “He said I should be referred to the White House press office for more information.” #Trump #law #Constitution #FirstAmendment #FreePress #journalism #fascism

@Nonilex@masto.ai Die White House verweigert Pressecorrespondenten Informationen, indem sie ihre Zugangskarte deaktiviert. Das ist keine Lösung für ein freies Presserecht – das ist pure #Faschismus. #FirstAmendment #FreePress

4 days ago The Pentagon fired the editor in chief of Stars and Stripes. Yesterday they broke the story of Elsie Dominguez, a civilian engineer who was raped repeatedly by the Captain of a Navy ship she was on. A Judge ruled she needs to file a worker’s comp claim. For rape. They keep trying to silence the press & quash the truth. Elsie’s story must be told: https://www.stripes.com/branches/navy/2026-08-25/lawsuit-workers-comp-sexual-assault-navy-ship-22658787.html #uspol #rape #rapeculture #fascism #freepress #pentagon #navy

A Federal Judge in Washington has temporarily halted an order requiring trump to hand over financial records about his businesses to the BBC, as the broadcaster defends an ongoing defamation lawsuit over its documentary about his January 6, 2021, speech. The pause is temporary, however, and does not resolve the central dispute over whether the BBC's documentary amounted to defamation or whether trump's businesses suffered legally recognisable harm. https://www.ibtimes.co.uk/judge-halts-trump-financial-records-bbc-defamation-case-1813088 #trump #January6th #Assault #BBC #Documentary #FreePress

#GiftArticle The ‘#DeepState’ didn’t take down #Nixon. So why did #JDVance say it did? Nixon’s #Crimes, the #Courts, #Congress & the #FreePress drove #Watergate. Such a scandal of #crime & #corruption could easily happen again — especially in a nation where #Trump controls the #press, the rule of #law only applies to his enemies & the courts have been subjugated by a #corrupt #SCOTUS. #Trumpaganda #propaganda #Republicans #RevisionistHistory #UShistory #law #criminal

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
