Donald Trump, who has infamously labeled the press as "the enemy of the people", has recently turned to legal action against some networks, and also expressed his desire to go after libel protection – including a 1964 Supreme Court ruling that established protections for journalists who make honest mistakes. It is the bedrock of a free press that is able to hold the powerful to account, and it protects freedom of expression for all Americans. “They really want to scare people into silence," says David Enrich, New York Times journalist and author of the new book, ‘Murder the Truth.’ “Having a credible, independent, and vigorous news media that's not afraid … is a threat to people who are using lies and distortion to advance their agendas.”

Thousands of demonstrators are rallying at sites across the U.S. against President Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk.
