CNN has issued a statement on getting turned away from the EPA summit today.
And now here is the AP statement from Executive Editor Sally Buzbee regarding an AP reporter who was grabbed "by the shoulders" and "shoved" from the EPA building: latimes.com/politics/la-na…
Now: EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt is being investigated by committees, auditors and others for a range of alleged offenses.
Those alleged offenses relate to first-class travel, use of email, the renting of a condo, hiring and promotion decisions and so on. But is anyone investigating Pruitt for his agency's treatment of the media?

On CNN right now, @brianstelter reporting that White House is backing down on hard pass of @acosta. Is fully restoring it.
@brianstelter @Acosta This development comes after this same White House, on Friday night, sent a letter outlining a "preliminary decision" yanking those credentials and inviting @acosta to appeal.
@brianstelter @Acosta And THAT letter, in turn, came after a judge in the CNN v. White House case issued a TRO restoring temporarily the @Acosta hard pass after it was suspended on Nov. 7. White House hadn't given Acosta due process, the court found.

Another thing about the lawsuit from @acosta / CNN v. White House: In its response to the complaint, gov't lawyers argue that while Acosta is on the sidelines, there are plenty of other reporters on the beat.
@Acosta The public, says the response, "is additionally well-served by the
journalists who retain their hard passes and who will continue to tenaciously ask questions at press events, just as they have done since the revocation of Mr. Acosta’s pass."
@Acosta Based in part on that thinking, the gov't opposes CNN's request for a TRO reinstating @acosta hard pass. But a key question: Just how many other tenacious-question-asking journalists are necessary? Ten, twenty, 150?

O'Reilly had argued that the documents related merely to '[E]mbarrassing conduct with no public ramifications’ 2/
The judge verily laughed off the argument, stating that the agreements are in the public interest, compelled by the 1st Amendment, etc. 3/

Since I keep answering the same "but why don't you just..." questions about this topic, let me take a thread to explain why your "clever" ad-hoc border encryption solutions don't work and why we need better solutions in this space.
First a little prelude: In the real world sometimes people need to bring data from one jurisdiction to another, and often this rubs the powers-that-be the wrong way and they get some silly ideas about denying basic human rights.
The threat models are varied, but we generally approach real world cases with the following success criteria:

* Getting through unhindered
* Getting turned away at the border
* Forcing better civil norms (courts / warrants / lawyers etc.)

So you know how the NAACP was asking everyone to log off Facebook because FB has been giving away our information? Well ironically today the NAACP here just gave out their mailing list information and now I am exposed to hundreds of emails many of which are very racist.
This probably says more about volunteer organizations needed more money for tech staff and other staff than anything but I couldn’t keep the irony to myself.
So now I have an email to both my work and personal emails coming every few seconds for the past two hours. For what it’s worth, logging off FB wasn’t even a good idea so there’s that.

1/The decision in the North Dakota voter identification case actually has a long legal backstory that's worth unpacking, because I am seeing a lot of questions on Twitter in the wake of today's decision (which we covered here) publicintegrity.org/2018/11/01/224…
2/I wrote a story earlier this month that includes a lot of background, and links to earlier court documents for those interested. You can find it here. apps.publicintegrity.org/abandoned-in-a…
3/North Dakota, the only state that doesn't require voter registration, was long an easy state in which to vote. If a voter didn't have ID with all the required info, a poll worker who knew them could vouch for them or the voter could sign an affidavit. apps.publicintegrity.org/abandoned-in-a…

The amount of crap and baseless claims that #AssociatedPress #AP is filling in into the mainstream media is unbelievable, especially regarding #Yemen !
#UAE’s heroic #counterterrorism operations in #Yemen against #AlQaeda are well spoken and praised by the #US Forces; but our friends at #AP are so happy to debunk those live operations and efforts easily !
US Forces and defense sec. didn’t call us the #LittleSparta for no reason; we fought like warriors in the face of #Iran’s terror, presented sacrifices of our men, saved poor #Yemeni children, and rebuilt the south of #Yemen !
#AP needs to learn ...

I'm trying to put together a playlist of music that would fit the #gothright #Gothnationalism vibe
Songs that empower the individual, remind us our strength, and what we are fighting for & what happens if we fail
To start
Grendel - Fall like Rome

Next a band I just can't get enough of, more furture pop then goth but if you want a band the spurs on the soul VNV Nation is the band
And this song should be a anthem to the #Gothright & all who under stand the greatness man can achieve
Streamline by VNV
Alrighty, next up the #GOTHRIGHT playlist is a song that speaks of the loss of a cultre and believe system, and destrusion of a way of life, something we need to very aware of and on guard against. Please enjoy
Faith and the Muse Battle Hymn
