The court imposed significant monetary sanctions after finding Matney in contempt, and we break down the judge's order, the court's reasoning, and what could happen next as the legal process continues. Topics discussed include: The legal standards for contempt of court and the sanctions that may be imposed. The importance of complying with court orders and subpoenas. The potential consequences for journalists and other parties who fail to follow court directives. The court's analysis of Mandy Matney's arguments and defenses. What this ruling could mean moving forward and the possible next steps in the case. The Professor, Matt Siembieda, is a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School and a law professor at Temple University, bringing legal insight and analysis to the discussion.

Today's Headlines: Kash Patel scheduled a trip to Russia in October with no disclosed agenda or meeting list, which is a perfectly normal thing for the FBI director to do while leading an agency that investigates Russian interference. In tariff news, Trump dropped new tariffs on Canada — specifically cars, alcohol, cheese, and hockey sticks — on products covered by the USMCA trade deal he negotiated himself in 2020 and called "the best deal ever," though they don't kick in for 30 days so this is probably a stunt. Meanwhile, the cyclospora lettuce saga got weirder when the FDA announced the positive test on Taylor Farms lettuce was a "false positive" — conveniently after Taylor Farms donated a million dollars to Trump's super PAC in 2025, six days after the FDA delayed food traceability rules that would have applied to companies like Taylor Farms, and one day after Taylor Farms executives met with senior FDA officials before issuing their voluntary recall and blaming Taco Bell, so the whole thing smells like something other than lettuce. On ICE, the FBI will no longer investigate confrontations between ICE agents and civilians — essentially eliminating the only oversight ICE was ever exposed to — with responsibility for investigating ICE now falling to ICE itself, and traffic stops resuming less than 24 hours after DHS said they'd stop them. On a related press freedom note, the DOJ subpoenaed phone records of multiple New York Times journalists, at least two of their spouses, and one of their mothers, dating back to January 1st — long before their reporting on Trump's Qatari jet. A judge temporarily blocked the Paramount-Warner Brothers merger for two weeks, siding with 12 state attorneys general on antitrust grounds, which means Bari Weiss running CNN is on hold until at least August 3rd. On the election beat, Lindsey Graham's sister Darline — sworn in less than two weeks after her brother died — announced on Sean Hannity that she's running for the full six-year term, citing "inner peace," which is one way to process grief. And finally, on a genuinely positive note, Senator Andy Kim introduced MediKIDS, legislation that would automatically enroll every child at birth in health insurance through age 26, covering 4.4 million uninsured kids.

The Herle Burly was created by Air Quotes Media with support from our presenting sponsor TELUS, as well as CN Rail.Greetings you curiouser and curiouser Herle Burly-ites! Last week The Wall Street Journal published a backstory on what Mark Carney's been doing in Europe. Building alliances, stiffening spines against Trump, searching for sovereignty out of rupture, calls from one of his personal cell phones. It didn't contain exclusively new information, but it was fascinating detail in an American publication that prompted another question: How do journalists cover Mark Carney's government and what's actually different about this prime minister? Prime Minister Carney is an internationalist with a following in Europe and the US. He's a known quantity to economic journalists everywhere. His government gives the impression of frenetic pace. He's managing the most difficult American administration in living memory. That's not a normal beat. To help figure out what it's actually like to cover Mark Carney day to day, we've got three of the best journalists in the business: Paul Wells, publisher of his own brilliant and widely read newsletter, https://paulwells.substack.com; Janyce McGregor, senior reporter at CBC News Network and a member of the Parliamentary Press Gallery; and Mackenzie Gray, national reporter with global news covering Parliament Hill. It was a genuinely revealing conversation. Thank you for joining us on #TheHerleBurly podcast.

Spanien holt sich den Pokal bei der Fussballweltmeisterschaft, Argentinien muss sich mit dem zweiten Platz begnügen. Und doch herrscht in Argentinien eine gute Stimmung, berichtet Südamerika-Korrespondentin Karen Naundorf. Die weiteren Themen: · In Madrid waren die Glücksgefühle schon während des Final-Spiels wahrzunehmen, aber so richtig los ging es erst nach dem Sieg der Furia Roja über Argentinien, berichtet Sonderkorrespondentin Karina Rierola. · Für politisch Verfolgte – beispielsweise aus China – gilt Thailand als Zufluchtsort. Doch dieses Image bröckelt. Das zeigt der Fall des chinesischen Journalisten Bai Zhaodong, der vor den chinesischen Behörden nach Thailand geflüchtet ist. Denn er wurde festgenommen und könnte bald an China ausgeliefert werden – obwohl er als politisch Verfolgter Flüchtlingsstatus hat. Südostasien-Korrespondent Martin Aldrovandi erläutert die Einzelheiten des Falls. · In Kanada wüten derzeit starke Waldbrände, deren Rauch bis in den Nordosten der USA für schlechte Luft sorgt. Darum droht US-Präsident Trump Kanada mit zusätzlichen Zöllen. Kanada müsse für die Kosten der Luftverschmutzung zahlen, weil das Land seine Wälder nicht richtig pflege. Gerd Braune, freier Journalist in Kanada, schildert das Ausmass der aktuellen Brände.

In this episode of Media Confidential, Clothilde Redfern and Martin Bright join Alan Rusbridger and Lionel Barber to discuss how national security laws are increasingly being used to restrict journalism around the world.Clothilde is the director of the UK branch of Reporters Without Borders (RSF) and Martin Bright is a journalist and contributing editor of a new report by the charity which shows a growing pattern of governments expanding the meaning of “national security” to justify secrecy, surveillance, and sustained pressure on reporters. The four discuss cases like that of Julian Assange and how legal action can have worrying impacts on journalists. They also talk about the line between legitimate security concerns and unnecessary suppression of reporting.To read the RSF report ‘National security as a weapon against journalism', click here: https://rsf.org/en/new-rsf-report-national-security-weapon-against-journalism Hosted on Acast.

“One of the things that's fascinating about him simply as a historical study is the recognition that shamelessness is a superpower, and he refuses to be shamed in almost any action that he takes. He also realised that he doesn't have to abide by the US system, which is primarily norms and not laws. He is testing them in a way they have never been tested before.” Paddy O'Connell speaks to Maggie Haberman, White House correspondent for The New York Times and co-author of Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump. Maggie gives her take on Trump's second administration, from the influence of Elon Musk to his increasingly fraught dealings with world leaders. She also explains her belief Trump's second presidency is fundamentally different from his first, and how he is testing the limits of presidential power.

Schrijver, journalist, columnist en activist Karin Spaink stond bekend als eigenzinnig en autonoom. Vanaf halverwege de jaren tachtig viel ze op door haar columns in het Parool, de Groene Amsterdammer, de Volkskrant en NRC waarin ze schreef over seksualiteit, feminisme, politiek en privacy. In 1986 werd bij haar de diagnose MS gesteld, wat ook een dankbaar onderwerp voor haar columns en boeken bleek; ze muntte het begrip 'de orenmaffia'. Later werd ze mede-oprichter en voorzitter van Bits of Freedom, de Nederlandse organisatie voor digitale burgerrechten, en eindredacteur bij Follow the Money, het platform voor onderzoeksjournalistiek. Haar gezondheid werd steeds brozer en begin mei koos ze voor euthanasie. In Wat blijft audiodoc praat podcastmaker en journalist Botte Jellema met mensen die dichtbij haar stonden: *Tanja van Bergen, vriendin en eindredacteur van haar stukken in het Parool *Eric Smit, vriend, onderzoeksjournalist en voormalig hoofdredacteur van Follow the money *Sjoera Nas, privacy-expert en voormalig medewerker en collega van Spaink bij Bits of freedom Wat blijft audiodoc is een podcast van HUMAN en NPO Luister, deze aflevering staat vanaf zondag 19 juli om 21 uur online op NPO Luister en is te horen in het tweede uur van Wat blijft radio op NPO Radio 1

For five and a half years, this show has been about someone else — pulling a thread from a guest I find fascinating and following it wherever it leads. This week, for the first time, I turned the camera on myself.After a recent conversation with my business coach, I realized I had never articulated — through my lens — what connects every single person who's ever sat across from me on this show. Journalists. Communicators. Photographers. Lobbyists. To an outsider, the connection may not be altogether clear, so I chose today to fix that.I was surprised to realize how far back the real answer goes — past the podcast, past the public affairs career, back to a small legislative district in New Jersey where I learned that making someone feel seen gave me my own purpose. That idea became the thread of this episode.I'm also using today's episode to signal a short break from this show — the first real break I've taken in five and a half years — and ahead to an exciting August takeover with Cook Political Report.My favorite line of the episode: the moment you actually see someone — really see them — it gets a lot harder to hold onto anger at them. Connection isn't just nice to have. It's what makes compassion possible.Authentically Speaking is a reader-supported publication.

This Day in Legal History: The National Minimum Drinking Age ActOn July 17, 1984, President Ronald Reagan signed the National Minimum Drinking Age Act, the law that effectively set the drinking age at 21 across the entire country. What makes the Act a fixture of law-school classrooms isn't the policy itself—it's the clever, and constitutionally fraught, mechanism Congress used to achieve it.Here's the problem Congress faced. Setting a drinking age is a classic exercise of state police power; the federal government has no general authority to tell states how old someone must be to buy a beer. So Congress didn't order the states to do anything. Instead, it reached for its spending power. The Act directed that any state which failed to raise its drinking age to 21 would lose a percentage of its federal highway funds. States remained technically “free” to keep a lower drinking age—they'd just forfeit a slice of the highway money they depended on. Within a few years, every state had fallen into line.South Dakota challenged the law, and in the 1987 case South Dakota v. Dole, the Supreme Court upheld it. The Court laid out the framework that still governs conditional federal spending: conditions must be unambiguous, related to a federal interest, not otherwise unconstitutional, and—critically—must not be so coercive that they amount to “compulsion” rather than mere “encouragement.” The Court decided that losing about five percent of highway funds was just mild pressure, not coercion. That last piece became enormously important decades later. In the 2012 healthcare decision, NFIB v. Sebelius, the Court for the first time found that a spending condition had crossed the line into unconstitutional coercion, when Congress threatened states with the loss of all their Medicaid funding. The significance of July 17, 1984 is that a law about drinking age quietly established the constitutional playbook for how the federal government leverages its money to steer state policy—and where the limits of that leverage finally lie.A federal appeals court has reinstated the Pentagon's policy requiring journalists to be accompanied by a government escort inside the building, handing the Trump administration a win in its press-access fight with The New York Times. A lower-court judge had blocked the escort requirement in June, but a three-judge panel of the D.C. Circuit put it back in place. The legal reasoning is worth parsing. The Times argued the escort rule was retaliation against the press in violation of the First Amendment. The panel disagreed—at least for now—finding the Pentagon likely to succeed on its argument that a “generally applicable escort requirement” isn't a “sufficiently adverse action” to support a First Amendment retaliation claim. In other words, because the rule applies to all reporters rather than singling out particular outlets or viewpoints, the court was skeptical it amounts to unconstitutional retaliation. This is an interim ruling on a preliminary question, not a final decision; the Times says it looks forward to litigating the merits on an expedited basis. The significance is part of a broader pattern we've tracked this week—friction between the administration and the press over access and newsgathering. Here the court signaled that neutral, across-the-board restrictions on where reporters can roam are harder to attack than targeted ones, even as the deeper question of press access to the government remains very much alive.US appeals court keeps in place Pentagon's escort policy for journalists | ReutersA federal judge has warned the Justice Department after government lawyers cited a court decision that does not exist—an apparent AI “hallucination”—in an immigration detention case. In the Michigan matter, DOJ lawyers argued that the Sixth Circuit had barred courts from second-guessing an immigration judge's bond decision, and cited a case, Taylor v. Hott, that simply isn't real. Notably, the judge who caught it was appointed by President Trump, and he observed that fabricated AI citations have fueled “a rash of cases” clogging the courts with fake authorities. If this sounds familiar, it should—we covered a nearly identical episode on Monday, when the Eleventh Circuit sanctioned a private lawyer for the same mistake. The rule is the same regardless of who commits it: when you sign a brief, you certify that its legal contentions are grounded in real, existing law, and generative AI tools routinely invent confident, well-formatted citations to cases that were never decided. What makes this one notable is that it's the government's own lawyers doing it, in a case about detaining a human being. The judge declined to impose sanctions but issued a pointed warning that future filings must not contain nonexistent authorities. The significance is that the AI-hallucination problem has reached the Justice Department itself, and the courts' patience—already thin—is not going to extend just because it's the government at the podium.US judge warns Justice Department about AI use in immigration case | ReutersThe Trump administration is reviving the “public charge” rule, a policy that can deny green cards to immigrants deemed likely to rely on public benefits. The rule appeared in the Federal Register on Thursday, will be formally published July 20, and takes effect September 18. Here's the concept. “Public charge” is a very old idea in immigration law—the government has long been able to refuse admission or permanent residency to someone likely to become primarily dependent on government support. The fight is over how broadly to define it. The version being revived, first adopted in 2019, dramatically expanded the definition to sweep in anyone who received a government benefit—things like food stamps, Medicaid, or housing vouchers—for more than twelve months in any three-year period. The Biden administration abandoned that broad approach in 2022 and narrowed the grounds for denial; now the expansive version is back. Immigrant advocates warn of a powerful “chilling effect” beyond the green-card applicants themselves: the fear that using benefits could jeopardize their status leads people—including in mixed-status families with citizen children—to avoid the doctor, skip food assistance, or hesitate to file taxes. The significance is that a technical change to the definition of a single term can reshape the behavior of millions, deterring lawful use of public programs out of fear it will be held against someone later.US to revive rule that could deny green cards to immigrants using public benefits | ReutersAnd finally, DraftKings has sued the city of Philadelphia after receiving a subpoena, arguing that the city's consumer-protection ordinance is preempted by Pennsylvania state law. The dispute is a clean illustration of a recurring structural question: who gets to regulate what. Gambling in Pennsylvania is heavily regulated at the state level, through a comprehensive statutory scheme and a state gaming authority. Philadelphia enacted its own ordinance and issued DraftKings a subpoena as part of an investigation into potential violations. DraftKings' core argument is preemption—the principle that when a higher level of government has occupied a field, a lower one can't layer on conflicting or duplicative rules of its own. The company contends the city ordinance essentially copies Pennsylvania law, and that gambling regulation belongs to the state, not the city, so Philadelphia lacks the authority to investigate and enforce in this space. This is the same preemption logic we've seen play out between the federal government and states—here it's just one rung down, between a state and one of its cities, governed by state law and the limits of municipal power. The significance is both immediate and broad: immediately, it's a bid to quash a subpoena and fend off a city investigation; more broadly, it tests how much room local governments have to police national sports-betting companies when the state has already claimed the field.DraftKings sues Philadelphia after receiving subpoena | Reuters This is a public episode.

Saul van Stapele is schrijver, journalist, filmmaker en programmamaker. Hij schrijft onder meer verhalen over hiphop, jongerencultuur en de multiculturele samenleving. In zijn boek ‘Van Brooklyn naar Breukelen' beschreef hij de ontwikkeling van de Nederlandse hiphop. Voor zijn werk ontving hij in 2012 de Pop Media Prijs. Tegenwoordig schrijft hij voor de kunstredactie van NRC. Op basis van dertig jaar aan ontmoetingen met hiphopartiesten schreef hij ‘Woorden als wapens'. In dit boek onderzoekt hij de kunst van ‘beef' en hiphopruzies als strategisch marketinginstrument. Ook gaat hij in op controverse, criminele karikaturen en censuur, en op de vaak dunne lijn tussen hitsucces en de dreiging van fataal geweld. Ellen Deckwitz gaat met Saul van Stapele in gesprek.

Videoen, hvor kirkeminister Ida Auken fistpumper i sin ministerbil, falder mange for brystet. Hun fejrer, at Folketinget nu får tilknyttet en præst, der kan tale med politikerne om sorg og eksistentielle spørgsmål. Journalist på Weekendavisen Lone Frank ser det som en del af et større skred i vesten, hvor kristendommen bliver tiltagende populær og blandes mere og mere sammen med politik. Genstart spørger hende, hvordan en stille og rolig protestantisk folketingspræst dog kan være et tegn på et demokratisk forfald? Vært: Anna Ingrisch. Program publiceret i DR Lyd d. 13. juli 2026.

Legendary filmmaker Robert Greenwald joins Gaslit Nation to talk about his powerful documentary from Brave New Films, Gaza: Journalists Under Fire. We break down the horrifying media consolidation driven by Netanyahu-ally , billionaire Larry Ellison, who is actively dismantling beloved institutions like CBS to enforce a McCarthyist, pro-Netanyahu chill on American journalism. We also expose how Trump and Jared Kushner have dragged the US into an illegal, unconstitutional war with Iran, draining vital air defense systems for Ukraine, while Trump's ICE agents go on a killing spree, openly executing parents in front of their children, and expanding their network of concentration camps at home and abroad. As always, Gaslit Nation also provides ways to fight back and plant powerful seeds of hope and change—because we will ultimately build a better world.

Journalist and author Andrew Dunn joins host Tim Boyum to talk about his new book on former Gov. Pat McCrory. McCrory, a Republican, served in office from 2013 to 2017 when Republicans had a powerful hold over state government. He presided over the controversial HB2, became the first governor to lose reelection in state history, then lost in the 2022 U.S. Senate primary. Dunn looks at McCrory's legacy and the controversy that continues to define him today. Dunn is a former Charlotte Observer journalist and continues his own newsletter and commentary at Longleaf Politics.

Investigative journalists ⁠⁠Mandy Matney⁠⁠ and ⁠Liz Farrell⁠⁠ and attorney Eric Bland discuss the extraordinary $171,500 in attorneys' fees and costs assessed against Mandy for contempt of court.  Judge R. Keith Kelly has ordered journalist Mandy Matney to pay $171,500 in attorney's fees and a $5,000 fine — for missing a deposition she sat for just days later.  Ahem… Where Is GREGG ROMAN!?!?!? On a raw, unfiltered episode, the team breaks down a ruling that Eric — in 38 years of practicing law — says he has never seen anything close to.  What does it mean when a non-party journalist gets hit with fees that exceed most annual salaries? What due process rights seemed to be bypassed in this circus? And why does Eric believe the appellate court may actually look at this with fresh eyes? Jokes on J. Edgar Picklejuice (Mark Moore), Officer Swimsuit Patrol (Deborah B. Barbier), and Jim Whaaanister (Bannister), because Mandy isn't staying quiet and the Beach v.

John discusses the Trump administration ordering ICE to immediately suspend most vehicle stops nationwide following a pair of high-profile fatal shootings of motorists within less than a week. In Maine, an ICE officer shot and killed Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero, a 26-year-old Colombian national, during an enforcement operation on Pool Street. Also, in Texas, agents in unmarked vehicles initiated a traffic stop and fatally shot 52-year-old Lorenzo Salgado Araujo while he was driving his construction crew to a job site. Then, John interviews the founder of the Turquoise & Lavender Institute for Transformation and Healing and a nationally recognized leader in racial healing and spiritual transformation - Catherine Meeks, PhD. They talk about her new book "Bridging the Rivers of Difference: A Proclamation of Unity in Resistance". Next, John welcomes back former MSNBC host, award winning Journalist, host of the Joy Reid show on YouTube, and author of the Substack Joy's House - the one and only Joy Reid. They talk about the survival of media and religion in this Trumpian world of division and hate. Then winding it up, comedians Rhonda Hansome and Keith Price team up to joke with John and listeners about the erasure of history, the ICE shootings, and Broadway.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
