NPR fights Trump's executive order against public media

The case isn't getting much attention.

But it pits the press's right not to face government retaliation over coverage against the president's assertion of vast executive powers

My story:

Federal agents can no longer arrest people in D.C. on immigration violations without a warrant or probable cause to believe they could potentially flee if not detained, a judge has ruled.

It's the second significant legal loss for the Trump administration over its activities in D.C. in two weeks.
Federal judge limits warrantless immigration arrests in D.C.
Lawyers say federal agents unlawfully operated under an ‘arrest first, ask questions later’ policy.

THIS was the staggering millennial talent that hypnotized every 50+ man in DC and NYC? Really? Paired with hearing her actually speak and it’s a slap in the face to thousands and thousands of more talented journalists who have lost their jobs as their industry is strangled.

once again expressing my strong support for Kash Patel being allowed to fly private planes to his girlfriend's concerts and go to sporting events and generally do anything other than his actual job, really the best case scenario for a Trump Guy running the FBI
This has been shared via a bunch of sites. It is worth noting that the report, relying on anonymous internal sources, seems to be coming from the right (complaints about ongoing Trump Derangement Syndrome, lack of Fox News, welcoming end of DEI).
