#US government investigators have taken the extraordinary step of subjecting roughly 50 members of the #military’s #JointStaff to #polygraph tests over leaks to #journalists, including about how the #Iran #war has created a shortage of crucial munitions, acc/to officials briefed on the move.

A quotation from Hugo Black

In the First Amendment, the Founding Fathers gave the free press the protection it must have to fulfill its essential role in our democracy. The press was to serve the governed, not the governors. The Government’s power to censor the press was abolished so that the press would remain forever free to censure the Government. The press was protected so that it could bare the secrets of government and inform the people. Only a free and unrestrained press can effectively expose deception in government. And paramount among the responsibilities of a free press is the duty to prevent any part of the government from deceiving the people and sending them off to distant lands to die of foreign fevers and foreign shot and shell.

Hugo Black (1886–1971) American politician and jurist, US Supreme Court Justice (1937–71)
New York Times Co. v. United States 403 U.S. 713, 717 (1971) (concurring)

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…

#law #Constitution #FirstAmendment #FreePress

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.

Slavin said he & Korte were fired for participating in a #CBS #News interview, during which he said #censorship of the #military #newspaper crossed a red line.
“#Pentagon public affairs has deemed that insubordination,” Slavin said in an interview.

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.

A quotation from Bertrand Russell

All the governments of the world adopt elaborate methods of concealing truths which they consider undesirable, and inflict various forms of penalty upon those who spread knowledge which is thought bad for the population This applies especially to knowledge of the kind which is considered seditious, and the kind which is considered obscene. I shall not give instances, since, if I did, I should myself fall under the ban of the law.

Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) English mathematician and philosopher
Education and the Social Order [Education and the Modern World], ch. 1 “The Individual versus the Citizen” (1932)

The End of Local News? Why I’m Saying Alarm Bells are Ringing at the New FCC Policy

https://bluepress.blog/2026/08/07/the-end-of-local-news-why-im-saying-alarm-bells-are-ringing-at-the-new-fcc-policy/

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 ].

Global Schools Holdings Cites Two Injunctions in a Bid to Chill Our Reporting. It Won't Work.

https://databreaches.net/2026/07/02/global-schools-holdings-cites-two-injunctions-in-a-bid-to-chill-our-reporting-it-wont-work/

Another day, another #legalthreat.

If you're a solo blogger or small outlet, don't panic just because you receive an injunction. They may have no jurisdiction over you, no matter how intimidating they may sound.

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].

A quotation from Henry Commager

Who are those who are really disloyal? Those who inflame racial hatreds, who sow religious and class dissensions. Those who subvert the Constitution by violating the freedom of the ballot box. Those who make a mockery of majority rule by the use of the filibuster. Those who impair democracy by denying equal educational facilities. Those who frustrate justice by lynch law or by making a farce of jury trials. Those who deny freedom of speech and of the press and of assembly. Those who press for special favors against the interest of the commonwealth. Those who regard public office as a source of private gain. Those who would exalt the military over the civil. Those who for selfish and private purposes stir up national antagonisms and expose the world to the ruin of war.

Henry Steele Commager (1902-1998) American historian, writer, activist
Essay (1947-09), “Who Is Loyal to America?” sec. 3, Harper’s Magazine, Vol. 195, No. 1168
