The justice department is directly attacking and intimidating the journalists who have broken a lot of these big stories. Scary times brehs. We're definitely moving further and further down the authoritarian spectrum. :mjcry:
Direct attack on the cornerstone amendment of the constitution is what it is. Open fascism.
