#Trump #DOJ to Withdraw #Subpoenas Issued to #NewYorkTimes #Journalists
A federal judge raised questions about the government’s handling of the subpoenas, which #NYT said were an attempt to #intimidate the #FreePress.

#Trump has long been a harsh critic of the #news #media. But in his second term in office, he has moved aggressively to use the immense powers of the federal government in his efforts to attack the #press.
Earlier this year, the #DOJ sought to compel testimony from #journalists at The Wall Street Journal & The Washington Post. The DOJ withdrew the #subpoenas after both news organizations fought back in sealed filings.

#NYT #journalists who received #subpoenas included Julian E. Barnes, Eric Lipton, Tyler Pager & Eric Schmitt, who reported on Wednesday that #Trump had departed Turkey on the old #AirForceOne as a #security precaution at the urging of the #SecretService. Thursday, NYT reported that the new Air Force One, a #Qatar donated Boeing 747-8, lacked some of the advanced security features of the older aircraft, including antimissile capabilities. Both articles cited anonymous sources….

The #subpoenas contain few specifics, asking only that the #journalists testify “in regard to an alleged violation of federal criminal law.” They were issued by #JayClayton, the #USattorney in Manhattan. Clayton, who leads one of the country’s most prominent law enforcement offices, was recently nominated by #Trump to serve as director of national intelligence [ #DNI ].

In some cases, the #subpoenas were delivered by federal agents who showed up at #reporters’ homes.
The #NYT denounced the admin’s actions.
“The appearance of federal law enforcement agents on the doorstep of news reporters should shock the conscience of any American who believes in the #Constitution & the #PressFreedom it protects,” said David McCraw, The NYT’s top newsroom lawyer, in a statement Friday evening.

The #Trump admin issued #subpoenas Friday to several journalists for #TheNewYorkTimes, after the news outlet reported this week on #security concerns involving #Trump’s new #Qatar donated #AirForceOne.
The subpoenas — which seek to force the #reporters to testify before a federal grand jury in Manhattan on Wednesday — were an extraordinary escalation in Trump’s efforts to #threaten & #intimidate independent news organizations.

Ok, so you're choosing to drink in the Nazi bar, that tolerates Nazi regulars, and, in fact, gives them money. That's _a_ choice...
I take your point about Trump media monopolies, but you do realise there are _other_ platforms out there that _don't_ support actual Nazis?

"If Nazis frequent your bar, and you don't kick them out, more Nazis will come, the rest of your clientele leaves, and your bar will become a Nazi Bar." ~ as the saying goes.
Substack is a Nazi bar.
It _literally_ funds Nazis.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@RonSupportsYou/116884314571843749
Trump wants his MAGA donors who buy media corporations to monopolize all sources of information. We lost several trusted media outlets that are no longer trustworthy. Useful idiots help Trump by attacking Substack, which publishes many excellent people who express their thoughts there.

A quotation from Henry Commager
The Bill of Rights was not written into the Constitution in order to protect governments from “trouble,” but so that the people might have a legitimate method of causing trouble to governments they no longer trusted.

A quotation from Eleanor Roosevelt
In the democracies of the world, the passion for freedom of speech and of thought is always accentuated when there is an effort anywhere to keep ideas away from people and to prevent them from making their own decisions. One of the best ways of enslaving a people is to keep them from education and thus make it impossible for them to understand what is going on in the world as a whole. […] The second way of enslaving a people is to suppress the sources of information, not only by burning books, but by controlling all the other ways in which ideas are transmitted.
Eleanor Roosevelt (1884-1962) First Lady of the US (1933-45), politician, diplomat, activist
Column (1943-05-11), “My Day”More about this quote: wist.info/roosevelt-eleanor/81…

The judge in #RumeysaOzturk’s case noted that the govt presented no evidence other than #Ozturk’s op-ed raising a very significant & substantial claim that 1st Amendment protected speech formed the basis for her detention.
Which suggests the reason she was detained was punishment for her opinion.

#RumeysaOzturk’s hearing is coming to a close. Importantly, just now the judge stated that the court finds #Ozturk meets all 3 requirements for granting #bail.
1) Substantial claims, (2) extraordinary
circumstances, (3) necessary to make #habeas effective

Thoughts for today: Jamuary 20, 2025
While my political views are for the most part completely opposite of the late Senator Barry Goldwater, I do find many quotes attributed to him both insightful and thought provoking. The quote below seems especially thought provoking for today:
“Those who seek absolute power, even though they seek it to do what they regard as good, are simply demanding the right to enforce their own version of heaven on earth. And let me remind you, they are the very ones who always create the most hellish tyrannies. Absolute power does corrupt, and those who seek it must be suspect and must be opposed. Their mistaken course stems from false notions of equality, ladies and gentlemen. Equality, rightly understood, as our founding fathers understood it, leads to liberty and to the emancipation of creative differences. Wrongly understood, as it has been so tragically in our time, it leads first to conformity and then to despotism. Fellow Republicans, it is the cause of Republicanism to resist concentrations of power, private or public, which enforce such conformity and inflict such despotism. It is the cause of Republicanism to ensure that power remains in the hands of the people. ”
