Yes! Support the press in every form. Without it, we're doomed.

Intimidation, just for the fun of it.

Distraction from some limited Epstein document release.

A sense of panic.

^^ My first impressions.

Oooh look … 👀 another distraction

—Another right wing assault on the free speech and freedom of the press.

—Another use of Federal forces to intimidate those opposing, or in this case reporting on, the Trumphukian authoritarian regime.

—Another affront to American democracy by a totally corrupt and incompetent Department of Justice.

The bloviating orangeutang is trying to destroy the pillars of democracy — free press; freedom of speech; safety and security; civil rights and voting rights— basic human rights.

But the opposition is gaining momentum and freedom of the press is a keystone to this opposition.

Keep it coming!

Your point of view is a welcome addition to all the other commentary I have been reading.

Btw, did you see the pages of the Epstein report mentioning Trump and others. Apparently they were pulled shortly after release but they are available on the Meidas report, Today in Politics, Bulletin 297. 1/30/26.

What we're witnessing now from this authoritarian regime is beyond disturbing.

Besides Trump wanting to deny them their 1st amendment rights, is it merely a coincidence that the journalists being targeted, Don Lemon and Georgia Fort, are people of color?

Great toon, blog, and association's powerful statement.

I doubt the grand jury will go for it. It's just overreach. Trump is strangling the Republican party to death. May this horrid abomination be gone forever.
