Fed. judge finds that Trump's DOJ—in particular AAG Harmeet K. Dhillon—was acting in bad faith and with unclean hands when it tried to bully Portland over ICE protests and the arrest of right-wing agitator Nick Sortor. In evidence: Dhillon's tweeting. www.courtlistener.com/docket/43658...
of Oregon v. Trump, the United States Department of Justice could make matters quite
difficult, burdensome, and expensive for the Portland Police Bureau.
Third, and finally, the language used by Assistant Attorney General Dhillon, the
first signer of the October 3rd letter, in her social media post on that date is strong
language of a threatening nature. As noted, Assistant Attorney General Dhillon preceded
her reposting of a Nick Sortor comment with Dhillon’s own comment: “Portland: It’s
FO time. Buckle up.” ECF 524-1 at 1 (emphasis added). That is neither language nor
tone of a good faith investigation by the United States Department of Justice. Instead, it
exhibits all the hallmarks of a threat and attempted intimidation.
5
For these three reasons taken together, the Court finds by clear and convincing
evidence that the pending motion brought by the United States was not made in good
faith and that the United States lacks clean hands.6 Accordingly, the Court will not enter
the equitable relief sought.

Today marks 250 years since a small group of newspaper editors, farmers, and soldiers signed a document declaring our nation's independence — a truth that feels self-evident now but was revolutionary then.
What a privilege us Americans have, to live in a nation that every one of its inhabitants can shape. What an honor us New Yorkers have, to look out over our city's waters from the shores where so many Americans bravely entered their country for the first time.
Today and all days, let us remember that patriotism is not pretending our nation is without flaws. Patriotism is every act of righteous dissent — because loving our country means fighting for the best version of it.
Happy Fourth of July, New York City.

The role of a free press in a democratic society is not to effusively gush about the ‘love of country’ but to hold the government accountable and provide a check on all 3 branches. Murrow did not claim to love the state - he challenged power.
