The Trump admin used secret subpoenas to snoop on journalists’ phone records. But a new bill could make sure this never happens again. It requires a judge’s approval for phone records and bars government subpoenas to tech companies to spy on Americans. Watch @trevortimm.bsky.social explain:

No matter what pretexts he asserts, Brendan Carr’s modus operandi is clear: to serve as Trump’s censorship czar and abuse his office to target Trump’s perceived adversaries in the media, whether through sham proceedings or threatening letters and X posts. More: freedom.press/issues/disne...

The following can be attributed to Freedom of the Press Foundation Chief of Advocacy Seth Stern:

“It’s about time for someone to take Carr and his FCC to court over their endless campaign of intimidation and retaliation against journalism that displeases Carr’s thin-skinned boss. No matter what pretexts he asserts, Carr’s modus operandi is clear: to serve as Trump’s censorship czar and abuse his office to repeatedly and exclusively target Trump’s perceived adversaries in the media, whether through sham proceedings or threatening letters and X posts. Carr knows the FCC is not the journalism police and said so regularly himself before he decided to throw away any integrity he once had to kiss up to Trump. Countless others whose First Amendment rights have been chilled by Carr’s antics should follow Disney’s lead.”

Disney is suing the FCC for violating its First Amendment rights and other license holders Brendan Carr has bullied should do the same. That's because the censorship is about to get worse: Trump nominated Carr's own lawyer to fill the FCC's fourth commission seat. @trevortimm.bsky.social explains:
