I’ll be live on CNN at 11 pm eastern discussing the press pass litigation and the First Amendment. Tune in! Or don’t! It’s your Constitutional right either way 🦅
The White House has denied two CNN journalists from covering Chinese leader Xi Jinping’s arrival back at the White House for a state dinner, after trying to tell the network which type of journalists could cover the event. cnn.it/4hnIIJR

Court orders are not optional. The law requires all Americans to abide by court rulings, regardless of whether they disagree with the ruling.
Refusal to abide by a court ruling has a name: contempt. And contempt has clear consequences.
Judge Kelly explicitly ordered the Trump administration to “immediately return, reinstate, and restore” CNN, MS NOW, and Politico’s “hard pass” credentials to the White House. Refusing to abide by Judge Kelly's clear order would be a dangerous escalation and an affront to the rule of law.
At 1am ET, a judge ordered the Trump admin to restore White House access to CNN, MS NOW and Politico. As of 9am, CNN correspondent @betsy_klein has still not been allowed back to her workspace at the WH. "It appears that the White House may be in defiance of this court order..."

BREAKING: An Iowa state court has dismissed President Donald Trump’s frivolous lawsuit against veteran pollster and FIRE client J. Ann Selzer and the Des Moines Register newspaper, a victory for First Amendment rights.
More to come.
Good morning from the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals in St. Louis where @TheFIREorg is in court defending the First Amendment rights of Iowa pollster J. Ann Selzer
I’ll be on CNN at 6 ET tonight discussing President Trump’s revocation of press passes. The law has been clear & nonpartisan since 1977: The First Amendment forbids the WH from revoking press passes based on viewpoint. From the D.C. Circuit last year (Judges Rao & Katsas):
Good. I’d also expect a temporary restraining order/preliminary injunction motion in the near future to get the ban enjoined immediately.
JUST IN: POLITICO's joint lawsuit with CNN and MSNOW to lift the White House ban is now live. Read it here: storage.courtlistener.com/re…

"The government isn't supposed to like the press. The press isn't there to make the government happy. . . . It is not there to be a mouthpiece of the government.

Hey gang, tune in to ABC tomorrow morning at 9 am eastern where I’ll be appearing on @ThisWeekABC with George Stephanopoulos discussing the First Amendment.
Joined @jaketapper on CNN an hour ago to discuss President Trump’s unconstitutional decision to ban CNN, Politico, and MS Now from the White House.
"How terrible would it be to live in a country where every newspaper and every reporter has to parrot what the government says?
That may be fine in China and Russia, but it is not how we do things here in America."

Vladimir Putin 🤝 Critics of Putin
Problems with windows
Putin’s computer is running an unlicensed copy of Windows
In the video of his online vote, the “Activate Windows” watermark is clearly visible.
A legal copy of Windows 11 starts at $139.
Summer is coming to a close. There’s a chill in the air. The Lions are on primetime. That means one thing: I am stress eating chicken wings

DC sports fans who love to go after athletes like Joey Bosa and Bryson Dechambeau for their politics get mighty quiet when you bring up Ovechkin’s ties to Putin
The Washington Capitals Alexander Ovechkin has just appeared in a campaign video for Putin’s United Russia party.
The Russian hockey player stands right behind Putin’s main propagandist Margarita Simonyan when Foreign Minister Lavrov gives a speech justifying the full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
He also participated in a photo shoot for the same campaign together with Russian soldiers and individuals sanctioned for their complicity in the war against Ukraine.
Mr @hasek_dominik, could you please share your excellent opinion once again on Russians participating in Western sports events?
“START THE CELEBRATIONS!!!!
After a period of reflection “The Most Damaging Pop Cultural Force In Recent British History” has declared itself fit for purpose and will once again return to lift the spirits of the people.
Come witness the fitness.
