Quote of the Day
“There is no court precedent that could block Trump from declaring ‘fake news’ a national emergency. That’s why much is at stake in a pending federal case.”
why a pending First Circuit case out of Puerto Rico carries such national stakes. A ruling that fails to unequivocally protect press freedom during emergencies could open the door to government crackdowns on the press across the entire country.
