Trump is using national security as an excuse to impose new tariffs on kitchen cabinets. This is what happens when “damage to national security” has no clear definition. It leads to overclassification and more government secrets. Watch @LaurenLeHarper explain.

Big First Amendment win in Chicago: A federal court told the government it can��t target journalists at protests. But it still allows officers to order reporters to leave protests in some circumstances. We wrote about why that needs to change. https://t.co/24Asgjy9Vi

The powers the Trump administration is trying to create "could easily be used against them by a future administration," FPF's @SethAStern told @Sentient_Media. "Legislation and legal precedents and norms outlive any one presidency." https://t.co/JFNRrlyIuJ

John Oliver sounded the alarm this week on how secret donations to presidential libraries provide cover for bribery. It’s time to close the library loophole — and you can help. Read this story and much more in our secrecy newsletter, The Classifieds. https://t.co/A9LHYM9hHt

A new bill that recently passed the Senate will let members of Congress censor information about themselves online. The result is easy to predict: suppression of the press from reporting about Congress. Check out this op-ed from FPF's @CaitlinVogus: https://t.co/YEZfJyf60o

Journalist Mario Guevara was deported because the American government punishes reporters to protect its own power. “There’s no real crime here. It’s just pretext,” FPF's @adjoro told @dwallacewells. https://t.co/CsaM3ObniV

“The government may not condition its distribution of press releases on its perception of what publications are deemed ‘legitimate.’”

Clint Curtis, @ShastaCountyGov 's thin-skinned elections chief, stopped sending news releases to Shasta Scout because he didn't like its reporting. His response when told it's unlawful to single out one news outlet? Collectively punishing of all of them. https://t.co/NGZAGrnBox

Good. No news outlet should trade the right to do real journalism for the right to get lied to at Pentagon press conferences.

We filed a brief opposing the SEC "gag rule," which bars those who settle with the SEC from talking to reporters to protect the SEC's reputation. We shouldn't need to say this, but the government doesn't get to censor its critics to make itself look good. https://t.co/0b8cAXqzGg

Censoring the press isn't enough for the Trump administration. Now they're even trying to censor court records that discuss the press's reporting. This is unheard of. https://t.co/vq1AIylSJ1

Journalists are not stenographers. Use our easy action center tool to tell the Senate to reject a nominee for the Army’s top lawyer, who told Sen. Warren the government can punish reporters who publish news it doesn’t authorize. https://t.co/90JQi0VlxH

It's official — a court ruled that the public's interest in knowing if Elon Musk has a security clearance and access to classified information outweighs any potential privacy interests. Great FOIA ruling in favor of the @nytimes. https://t.co/nw7zcbjOqA

Law enforcement needs to rein in ICE's anti-press abuses and investigate ICE attacks on independent journalists in Chicagoland. A coalition of press freedom orgs explained why in a letter to the Broadview Police Department and Illinois State Police. https://t.co/bQ3jWv45bY

“Past presidents would have loved to exclude serious journalists…and bring in the Benny Johnsons [but] were under the impression that the public wouldn’t tolerate that.” The public must demand fact-based journalism, @SethAStern told @StraightArrow__. https://t.co/wocLaZitgC

The secure messaging app @signalapp makes it easy to chat without sacrificing security. If you're getting started with Signal, learn how, and if you are already a user, we help you tighten its security. https://t.co/90VrSUOXkw

Want to read the Epstein files? Or important climate reports? You’ll probably need a FOIA office for that. Use FPF's new tool to help us tell Congress that Trump’s decimation of FOIA offices is unacceptable. Americans deserve access to all their records. https://t.co/6cEEpfs0iS

UPDATE: Emily Wilder was deported to Istanbul today, alongside many of the other flotilla participants, and is safe and hopefully heading home to LA shortly. Thank you so much for your advocacy. More coverage soon!

It's been 200 days since masked government goons abducted Rümeysa Öztürk for writing an op-ed they didn't like. She's no longer behind bars, but they're still trying to deport her, and they still don't want the public to know why. https://t.co/jXL5uTM7pu
