"Most importantly, unlike in Cheney, where the Vice President himself was subject . . ., the discovery here is modest in scope and does not target the President *or any close adviser personally."*

Having sworn up and down that Presidential Adivsor Musk is not leading DOGE, they're stuck now.

WASHINGTON (AP) — AP wins reinstatement to White House events after judge rules government can’t bar its journalists, citing 1st Amendment.

Incredible work by @genevievelakier.bsky.social and @knightcolumbia.org in the AP’s lawsuit against the Trump administration - definitely worth a read
Want to know why the Trump admin's efforts to exclude the AP from the WH press pool violates central 1A principles not only as of today but as of 1791? Then check out this brief, I wrote with @knightcolumbia.org and 11 other 1A scholars. Spoiler: bc it violates CORE DEMOCRATIC VALUES
Our first (and possibly last) foray into originalism. Thanks to all of the signatories, and especially to @genevievelakier.bsky.social, who led this effort. knightcolumbia.org/content/knig...

Massive encroachment by Bezos into The Washington Post’s opinion section - makes clear dissenting views will not be published

I still have not felt encroachment on my journalism on the news side, but if Bezos tries interfering with the news side I will be quitting immediately and letting you know
