New: Spoke to @katiecouric, @TerryMoran, #JoyReid, @Acosta, and @mehdirhasan about the success they’ve found on independent on Substack/elsewhere. Audiences have changed, and they told me how they’ve scaled themselves to meet them. feat.@AaronParnas and @ValentineNews_

I wrote about what's happening with the student paper at Indiana University right now

The administration at Indiana University Bloomington fired the adviser to the paper and barred the publication from putting out a print edition.

🚨NEW I spent nearly a year investigating Russ Vought, the Trump adviser and Project 2025 architect who wants to put civil servants "in trauma." I obtained new audio recordings & videos. This is the most definitive profile yet. @propublica + @NewYorker

From the wholesale gutting of federal agencies to the ongoing government shutdown, Russell Vought has drawn the road map for Trump’s second term. Vought has consolidated power to an extent that...

Washington Post editor @murraymatt on our newsroom: "As some folks have left, some of those we've retained got new opportunities and have become rising stars… @hannah_natanson has emerged as a fantastic scoop-getter this year.” (Fact check: true.) https://t.co/xP3pnEkjfi

There are few things media writers enjoy more than a villain. Particularly when it’s an expensive outsider conscripted to overhaul a storied newsroom or publication.

The Pentagon press corp's departure could be "an opportunity to be more adversarial and ... to lead to even tougher coverage," journalist James Risen told @CJR. "It’s an opportunity for the Pentagon press corps to actually show some independence." https://t.co/e1N7ejx4Nm

As reporters for major news outlets turn in their government-issued press badges rather than accept new restrictions, some argue that the best military journalism is yet to come.

A journalist from News Corp’s The Australian was one of the 15 who agreed to the Pentagon’s restrictive press rules (as reported by WaPo’s @ScottNover) — the outlet has now quickly backtracked
theguardian.com
News Corp’s broadsheet was one of very few publications to agree to restrict reporting to authorised material before it changed its mind. Plus: a super blooper
NEW: The @washingtonpost obtained a list of the 15 individuals who signed the Pentagon press policy. The Federalist, the Epoch Times, and OAN signed it. The rest are freelancers, independent or work for media outfits based overseas. https://t.co/WZmNo7J02Q

Over 170 American citizens were dragged off and held by U.S. Immigration Agents Against Their Will, ProPublica Finds — ProPublica

The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And...

I think Curtis Sliwa should be in every debate. Not just in New York. Like every single debate. A political ghost runner. Send him right to second base when we get to extra innings to keep things interesting.

After covering the Pentagon for 35 years, I’m turning in my building badge today rather than submit to DoD’s vague new policies that restrict my right to engage in ordinary and legal news gathering. My Pentagon press corps colleagues and I will continue to inform the public

NEW: Ten months into Trump's 2nd term we can make two conclusions. 1. The containers/guardrails in his 1st term were indeed containing him as much as we thought. 2. The warnings those containers -- like John Kelly -- made before the election about what Trump would do if he didn't

.@Sulliview: "No matter how much Hegseth and #Trump might wish it, journalism is not stenography, and the officially approved story is often only a starting point for deeper reporting that gets at the truth." https://t.co/zIzqtPQGnM

Hegseth wants journalists to only publish ‘explicitly authorized’ information. That is not how the free press works

Starting Wednesday, for the first time since the Pentagon opened in 1943, there will be likely no major news outlets accredited to cover the dept, the one spending nearly $1 trillion of taxpayer money. Why? This Pentagon Press Association explains it best. Please read.
Strong statement from the Pentagon Press Association, noting that most members on Wednesday will have their credentials confiscated by the Pentagon and won’t be given new ones because the reporters can’t and won’t “acknowledge a policy that gags Pentagon employees and threatens

The “war within” evidently starts with Hegseth accusing the free press of endangering national security. Pretty rich coming from Mr. Signal-gate.
Pentagon access is a privilege, not a right. So, here is @DeptofWar press credentialing FOR DUMMIES: ✅ Press no longer roams free ✅ Press must wear visible badge ✅ Credentialed press no longer permitted to solicit criminal acts DONE. Pentagon now has same rules as every
