If any reporter in Missouri went on the air with their facts this twisted up and confused, they’d rightfully be forced to issue a swift and immediate correction, apology, and explanation. We’re about to learn if the Senator holds himself to the same standard.

After being told we were fired for insubordination, my colleagues and I today filed a lawsuit in federal court against the Defense Department, Pete Hegseth, Sean Parnell and Andrew Brey seeking to protect our First Amendment rights.
Everyone deserves the right to a free and independent press, especially our service members. This lawsuit is about safeguarding the mission of Stars and Stripes journalists so they can continue to do their jobs without fear or retaliation.
