A private arbitrator has ordered The Washington Post to rehire opinion columnist Karen Attiah with back pay, after she was fired over tweets about Charlie Kirk. "This is a victory for journalism, for anyone who wants to stand up for just speaking the truth," says @KarenAttiah.

The Trump admin’s case against Davey Hearn should have never been brought. Its dismissal today does not erase the abuse of government power in arresting and charging a patriotic American who did nothing wrong. The administration owes Mr. Hearn an apology. democracydefendersfund.org/n…

1,200 former DOJ employees have just sent a letter urging Senators not to confirm Todd Blanche as AG: "In the coming weeks, many will rightly underscore the corruption and abuses that have defined the Justice Department under Todd Blanche’s leadership: the vindictive prosecutions and investigations of the President’s foes; the deals designed to reward lawbreakers with taxpayer dollars; the erasure of accountability for January 6; the mishandling of the Epstein files; and the denigration of judges and repeated violations of their orders... For the sake of the institution where we once proudly served, we urge you to reject Todd Blanche’s nomination."

Former NJ AG Matt Platkin: They’re indicting the SPLC for allegedly misusing donor funds to infiltrate and disrupt white supremacist networks by paying informants. Now they’re turning around and they’re going to take $1.8 billion of public money not to disrupt those networks, but to fund them.

When civil rights groups like SPLC are targeted and intimidated, we are all less safe. It's no surprise that a President who has offered clemency to Proud Boys and Oath Keepers would now go after nonprofits that monitor such dangerous extremist groups. theusconstitution.org/news/c…
