🔔 Join us today for a conversation about using public records to push back on government secrecy, featuring @FOIANate, @morisy, @mirandareporter, and FPF's Lauren Harper. 🕒 1 p.m. EDT/10 a.m. PDT RSVP: freedom.press/fight-gov-secr…
Government agencies keep claiming that copyright law lets them withhold public records. It doesn't. We joined a brief filed by organizations across the ideological spectrum explaining why. americansforprosperityfoundation.org/featured/afp-f…
Isn't it weird how all the national security hawks have gone silent about the imminent, serious threat to America that TikTok supposedly poses? It's almost like it was BS the whole time. nytimes.com/2025/06/17/tec…

Now that it looks like Paramount is on the verge of settling, this story from last week is newly relevant:
Early evidence suggests the Trump administration is declassifying information with the primary goal of scoring political points, as well as pressuring officials to create intelligence that can’t embarrass the administration. History warns this may have disastrous consequences.…
🔔 Join us for a conversation about Trump's attacks on Voice of America and other publicly funded media outlets, featuring press freedom reporter @liamjscott, Archive Team Co-founder @textfiles, and FPF's @CaitlinVogus. 🗓️ May 23 at 12:30 pm ET RSVP: freedom.press/silencing-VOA
It's easy to view Trump's attacks on the press as products of his thin-skinned vindictiveness. And they are. But he's also long dreamed of building a media empire and may be abusing his power to weaken the competition. freedom.press/issues/trump-a…
Good news: Montana's governor signed its anti-SLAPP bill into law. Legislatures in red and blue states understand there's nothing partisan about protecting journalists, activists, and everyone else from anti-speech lawfare. ifs.org/blog/montana-g…
Does anyone think those who support these buffer bills wouldn’t outright ban recording cops if they could get away with it? We shouldn’t give an inch to opponents of transparency, let alone 15 feet. techdirt.com/2025/05/09/nas…
An important piece by Mohawk journalist Isaac White unpacking the impact of his prosecution for documenting a land claim demonstration, both on himself and his community. freedom.press/issues/mohawk-…
John Oliver implores the Senate to pass the PRESS Act! It's already passed the House unanimously. It would protect journalists across the political spectrum from spying and the threat of jail time for doing their jobs.
Trump has spent the last year calling for more leak investigations, imprisoning journalists, and censoring news outlets he doesn’t like. Lawmakers and the White House must act—before it’s too late. Pass the PRESS Act! Our statement at @FreedomofPress: freedom.press/issues/limit-t…
In his second term, Trump will make good on his anti-press threats to try to destroy any news outlet, journalist, or whistleblower who criticizes or opposes him. We won’t let him. freedom.press/issues/trump-w…
Six years ago today, @washingtonpost journalist Jamal Khashoggi was brutally murdered by Saudi government agents at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul His body was dismembered and disposed of. It’s time for Biden to declassify Khashoggi intelligence. thedailybeast.com/its-time-for-j…
An interagency panel (called ISCAP) overrules agency classification decisions a lot (75% of the time) ISCAP releases show how bad initial agency decisions to withhold can be Here are 2 recent examples: 1) docs on CIA's support of anti-communists groups during Cold War
See you at 3 EST today for a talk with Policy Director @ChipGibbons89 about our FOIA lawsuit to release the FBI's WikiLeaks and Assange files. Join us right here on X/Twitter!
The Senate needs to advance the #PRESSAct ASAP to protect journalist-source confidentiality against retaliatory government surveillance. Tell your senator that you support the PRESS Act today. Via @ACLU: go.peoplepower.org/letter/congres…
