And he continues to make his war on the free press a top priority.

With the venerable Stars and Stripes at the top of his target list.

The SAVE Act is a massive voter suppression bill -- and folks should definitely be resisting it. It's been motivated and justified by conspiracy theories about election fraud. But we don't need new conspiracy theories (about DOGE, stolen SSNs, and future fraud) to justify pushing back against it.

Prescient.
