A despicable attack on the First Amendment right to record law enforcement, which also shows exactly why that right exists.

If you’re voting using a mail ballot, deliver it to a drop box or return it in person at a polling place or election office if you are able.

The government has been repeatedly misusing FISA 702 and is now hiding its misconduct from the public.
Congress needs to shine a light on FISA 702 abuses and root out any misconduct that is occurring, writes Jake Laperruque.

Politicians demand we trust them with warrantless spying under Section 702 of FISA, yet won’t follow the law on declassifying court opinions that point out abuse.
Congress must demand major reforms and block renewal of 702 until the opinion is public.

New: Conservative powerbroker Cleta Mitchell has raised a grassroots army to transform American voting systems and worked closely with the administration to enact her plans. No one besides Trump himself has done more to overhaul elections. propub.li/4BNTSRN

A dramatic hearing for two former FBI officials accused of making false statements about Hunter Biden’s laptop. A judge tore into DOJ at length and an FBI agent who worked it said it was launched immediately after a Trump speech on election security

A domestic deployment around an election seen as politically motivated would do lasting damage to the U.S. military's standing with the public, write @amprog's Dan Herman, Devon Ombres and Sadhana Mandala.

A federal judge found that an immigration court bond hearing was so egregiously stacked against an ICE detainee that he may simply order the release of ICE detainees, rather than bond hearings, from now on.

Meta had an internal PR plan to try and discredit Jon Haidt because he was a critic of social media.
Meta was going to recruit academics, like Andrew Gelman, to write take down pieces. They were trying to turn academics against one another through a "whisper strategy".
This is a very serious problem for open academic debate. If academics who share negative evidence about a platform are targeted by campaigns to smear our credibility, we are in deep, deep trouble.
This creates a very serious conflict of interest for anyone who is paid to do this.
