Pentagon media access fight escalates with new policy challenge

After a court struck down the Pentagon’s old media-credential rules, the department issued a revised policy the New York Times says still violates the court’s order and the First and Fifth Amendments; NYT filed a motion to compel compliance, arguing the update restates restrictive, vague provisions—including an escort requirement and bans on soliciting information and promising confidentiality—that undermine press access and public information during war.

Video analysis: no vehicular run-over in Good-Ross shooting, but use-of-force questions linger

New York Times video analysis concludes Renee Nicole Good did not run over Agent Jonathan Ross; there was contact with the car hood and Ross’s phone, and the shooting occurred after he positioned himself near the vehicle, suggesting not self-defense. The piece links this incident to broader border-patrol use-of-force concerns highlighted by a 2013 Police Executive Research Forum review, while noting Trump’s claims that Good weaponized her vehicle are not supported by the video.

Times Frames Trump's Return as Fascist-leaning, Citing Autocratic Trajectories

The article reports that The New York Times argues Trump fits fascist criteria, pointing to actions like bypassing constitutional norms, aggressive foreign moves (e.g., reportedly pressuring Venezuela’s oil reserves) and flirting with seizing other territories, signaling a drift toward autocracy. It notes ongoing debate but emphasizes that the key issue is recognizing the trajectory toward authoritarianism rather than labeling him with a fixed term, and it frames the development as a threat to American democracy ahead of midterm elections.
