  5. The #FCC has limited power over issues like this, & its own website states the agency “cannot prevent the broadcast of any particular point of view,” so the notion of “punishment” for #KristenWelker, the moderator of #NBC’s “Meet the Press,” would historically [& legally] be a nonstarter.

    But #BrendanCarr has been quick to respond to #Trump’s requests to go after #media organizations. And he has taken aggressive action against some #FCC licensees…

  6. The posts were Trump’s most explicit efforts yet to direct the #FCC to carry out his wishes. FCC Chair #BrendanCarr, a Trump appointee & close ally, did not respond to request for comment.

    #Trump posted a long missive Sunday about what he described as mischaracterizations of his endorsement record in primaries.

  7. Under #Defense Secy #Hegseth, the publication’s #independence has come under threat during the 2nd #Trump admin as top #Pentagon leaders have derided the newspaper as “woke.”

    Erik Slavin, the #editor in chief, said he & #reporter Lara Korte also received separation notices Friday.

  8. …In January, #FBI agents took the rare step of searching the home of a Washington Post #reporter, Hannah Natanson, as part of an investigation into a government contractor’s handling of classified material. The agents seized phones, laptops & a smartwatch after executing a search warrant. Natanson had spent months speaking with govt employees while reporting on the #Trump admin’s efforts to shrink the federal work force.

  9. 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.

    Henry Steele Commager (1902-1998) American historian, writer, activist
    Letter (1971-06-17) to the Editor, New York Times

    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].

  11. The purpose & scope of the investigations that triggered the subpoenas are not clear, but the person familiar said they relate to #NationalSecurity matters. While the journalists are no longer scheduled to appear before a grand jury, the #DOJ’s action reflected a new front in the #Trump admin’s aggressive tactics toward the #media as it attempts to crack down on government #leaks to the #press & #content that admin officials think is unfair to Trump.
