Happening now at a federal court in New York: a hearing in our lawsuit against President Trump.
FPF, @TheIntercept sued Trump and aides Natalie Harp and Dan Scavino over a scheme to sell early access to his Truth Social posts for up to $100,000 a month.
Here’s what’s at stake👇

Truth Social's new service offering faster access to Trump's posts for a $100K price tag is brazen grift.
That’s why Freedom of the Press Foundation and @TheIntercept filed a federal lawsuit Wednesday to shut down this unconstitutional scheme.

Everyone's heard of the Don Lemon case, but there are a HUGE number of other instances of ICE violently infringing the rights of journalists in Minnesota. The last month has been particularly disturbing.
@USPressTracker has been documenting them all:

You’ve heard about the Don Lemon arrest, but what about the dozens of *other* journalists who’ve had their rights violated by ICE?
“What we have seen out of Minnesota — just in the last month — is shocking.”
Watch @TrevorTimm, @FreedomofPress executive director, explain.
