There’s only one person who agrees with me on everything, and, as I’m not running for office, that person is not on the ballot.

At AL.com, Kyle Whitmire notes that some government officials and agencies, including the Trump maladministration, are suddenly interested in freedom of repress. He gives several examples of government threats against reporter for, well, reporting.

Here’s a tiny excerpt, in which he talks about Trump’s threatening to sue news agencies for reporting that his bombing of Iran may not have been the glorious shattering victory that he claimed it to be (emphasis added):

Iran knows whether we blew up its nuclear program. They don’t need anybody to tell them. There’s no state secret lost by the New York Times and CNN reporting on what was in the Iran intelligence report, which has now been roughly corroborated by the United Nations. The reason the Trump Administration is upset is because the report contradicts what the president wants the public to believe. It embarrasses him.
