This seems to present a Sherrill v. Knight problem, in which the DC Cir held, re White Press passes, that the government must publish or otherwise make publicly known the actual standard employed in determining whether an otherwise eligible journalist will obtain a White House press pass."

America F̶i̶r̶s̶t̶ Alone!

I asked the DOD about its revocation of journalists' use of Pentagon workspaces and giving those spaces primarily to conservative outlets. I wanted to see the policies, guidelines, or standards they use to determine which outlets get space. The Department of "War" says they have none.

Brendan Carr so loves being America's top censor.

FCC to journalists: cover the Iran war the way the president prefers or lose your broadcast license.

Federal court's patience wearing thin due to Trump administration's "failure to comply" with its order, sets deadline for Trump administration to restore historical panel exhibits.

Federal court orders Trump administration to restore historical panel exhibits at President’s House in Philadelphia. Happy Presidents Day.

Reason why I require an extension on my brief: I have searched the depths of Legal Arguments not yet articulated or vetted on this subject, and will be presenting an irrefutable one in the very near future

Nancy Mace has an auto responder for comments containing the word “drugs”.

Another day, another outrage; ICE under Trump is going to deport dozens of people to Iran, including two gay men previously arrested by the regime who face the death penalty for their orientation, and despite the ongoing crackdowns which have killed thousands. An administration of total inhumanity.

Here is the newly-unsealed State Department memo confirming -- finally -- that the detention of Tufts student Rümeysa Öztürk was based on an op-ed. No antisemitic activity. No support of terrorism. An op-ed in a student newspaper. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Trump says he will sue over another poll because he does not like the results.

Incredible thread

Update: the mayor was arrested today on felony charges of sexual abuse of four minors, and one count of possession of child pornography.

In response to a quote tweet of DHS that says “you guys killed an American citizen,” Greg Bovino replies: “Triggered much?”

JAMES CARROLL: missing kid? someone should search the mayor's basement lol🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 RIVERVIEW MAYOR: your joke is inciting violence against me. You are ordered to come to City Hall to explain yourself. ST. LOUIS POLICE: we have a warrant to search the mayor's basement www.ksdk.com/article/news...

Are any of my followers an Alabama resident willing to submit a public records request to a municipality with a transparency allergy?

New: The 61-year-old retired Tennessee cop who spent 37 days in jail over an anti-Trump Facebook meme has filed a federal First Amendment lawsuit against the authorities who ordered his arrest. "In America, we do not jail people for political speech." Gift link: wapo.st/490I014

Larry Bushart spent 37 days in jail — all because he posted a meme after Charlie Kirk's murder. He was held on an outlandish $2 million bail. And now it's time for Sheriff Nick Weems and Perry County to face the consequences for violating Bushart's First Amendment rights.

Amicus brief from the Cato Institute, Dale Carpenter and Eugene Volokh urges full Fifth Circuit to affirm panel ruling that president of West Texas A&M violated the First Amendment when he ordered a drag show canceled, citing the show's purportedly "objectionable message." @cato.org

Eleventh Circuit vacates panel opinion on Florida's anti-drag law, will rehear the case en banc.

SHOTS FIRED, 2 National Guard, downtown DC, just now. At least one dead. Near Farragut metro.

Larry Bushart, a retired police officer, went to jail for 36 days for posting a meme after the murder of Charlie Kirk! It was a picture of Donald Trump along with his comment in response to a school shooting in 2024: “We have to get over it.” The meme had the caption, “This seems relevant today.”

Last Thanksgiving, two Dallas Police officers knocked on my door, citing a tip from the FBI national threat operations center that I was beating my girlfriend. The incident report confirms this.

It's insane that this even needs to be said. “A free country does not dispatch police in the dead of night to pull people from their homes because a sheriff objects to their social media posts,” @adamsteinbaugh.bsky.social speaking to @willoremus.com. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

It's good that LPD is clarifying this because police officers knocking on doors and demanding people delete posts would be absolutely nuts

Former cop is in jail for committing thought crime against the memory of Charlie Kirk theintercept.com/2025/10/23/c...

This is absolutely insane. Must read

The sheriff said the post caused “mass hysteria” among parents and teachers. But the school district says they don't have a single record about it -- and the sheriff's department says it won't respond to public records requests.

Who got pardoned now

Larry Bushart has been in jail for a month. The Sheriff is brazenly refusing to respond to public records requests.

Update from the Mayor of Fairhope, who is hopelessly wrong: 1819news.com/news/item/pe... Wearing a costume is peaceful. This is not profanity, but profanity is protected by the First Amendment. Cohen v. California. This is not obscene. If you think this is erotic, you are alone.

@thekoolaidmom.bsky.social Any chance you can put me in touch with the woman who was arrested or know her name (or know anyone else who has video)? I do pro bono First Amendment work and this looks egregious. Feel free to DM or email me: [email protected]

Trump releases fraudster George Santos from prison for (R)easons.

Jumping Jesus on a pogo stick. No valid law actually requires this, and the First Amendment would protect expression that deviates regardless. Any admin should resign rather than pushing this.

A Texas public university administrator's notes for a meeting with faculty. "No daylight": faculty "cannot discuss or teach anything regarding transgender - only male and female." They must "scrub" syllabi for "transgender items." And keep everything out of writing: "Don't email; talk directly."

Federal court (after six years!) rules on and dismisses Gavin McInnes' lawsuit against the @splcenter.org The case sought to declare it defamatory to say McInnes and the Proud Boys are "extremists," "far-right," a "hate group", or "white supremacists." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Here's the opinion. It's a rout. Too often, courts address only the actual malice question and do not reach falsity. This court correctly says there's no actual malice *and* the plaintiff did not show there were any false statements. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...
