Government withdraws subpoenas of 3 reporters for The New York Times after admitting legal errors - POLITICO

The withdrawals in U.S. District Court followed a remarkable back and forth between a visibly irritated Judge Arun Subramanian and government attorneys.

Federal discrimination watchdog sues New York Times for editor snub - POLITICO

Kalpana Kotagal, the commission’s sole Democratic appointee, blasted the Republican majority’s decision to file the lawsuit as politically motivated. 

“I fear this litigation is driven not by the merits, but by a desire to advance the administration’s political agenda, which weakens civil rights protections for workers and undermines employer efforts to advance equal employment opportunity,” Kotagal wrote in a statement posted on social media…

US judge blocks Pentagon’s restrictions on press after New York Times lawsuit

"Those who drafted the first amendment believed that the nation's security requires a free press and an informed people and that such security is endangered by governmental suppression of political speech," US district court judge Paul Friedman wrote in his opinion. "That principle has preserved the nation's security for almost 250 years. It must not be abandoned now."… 

"Especially in light of the country's recent incursion into Venezuela and its ongoing war with Iran, it is more important than ever that the public have access to information from a variety of perspectives about what its government is doing", Friedman wrote…

Opinion | Kamala Harris is the Only Patriotic Choice for President - The New York Times

"…In 2020 this board made the strongest case it could against the re-election of Mr. Trump. Four years later, many Americans have put his excesses out of their minds. We urge them and those who may look back at that period with nostalgia or feel that their lives are not much better now than they were three years ago to recognize that his first term was a warning and that a second Trump term would be much more damaging and divisive than the first. 

Kamala Harris is the only choice."

NYT editorial board calls Trump 'unfit to lead' - POLITICO

"Mr. Trump has shown a character unworthy of the responsibilities of the presidency," the board, made up of 14 Times opinion journalists, wrote. "He has demonstrated an utter lack of respect for the Constitution, the rule of law and the American people. Instead of a cogent vision for the country's future, Mr. Trump is animated by a thirst for political power: to use the levers of government to advance his interests, satisfy his impulses and exact retribution against those who he thinks have wronged him."…
