RT @TPM: Trump appointee Judge Lawrence VanDyke questioned whether a mother who "wants to kill the baby" even though it's not necessary to…

Wyden (D-OR), Raskin (D-MD) and Kiley (R-CA) just officially introduced the legislation to protect journalists/Trump critics from frivolous lawsuits that I scooped last week. ICYMI: https://t.co/ayYHuJN0iA

Real abortion echoes here - Kavanaugh is taking Roberts' route, saying that "the Constitution doesn't take sides" and that there are "forceful arguments on both sides" so why not leave it to the "democratic process"

Kagan: Muses that "what's really going on here is discrimination against and a disregard for young people who are trans"

Alito basically subbing in as extra lawyer for Tennessee - demands SG 'withdraw' her statement about benefits of gender-affirming care due to cherry-picked (& some very flawed) info from Europe, then moves into a 'this case is totally different from Bostock' line of questioning

Troubling sign in big trans care case at the Court - Roberts opens with a mealy-mouthed 'shouldn't we just leave this to the states' argument due to the "medical nuances." This is the easiest way for him to weasel out of the sexuality/gender identity rights he affirmed in Bostock

“Frankly, we don’t know how FDA is going to approach it on remand,” said the attorney for the vape companies. “We have a new administration coming in; the President-elect is on record saying, ‘I’m going to save flavored vapes.’” https://t.co/FhBlAzIGe8

RT @jkbjournalist: Scoop by @TPM. Folks, It's a whole new world for journalists in the Trump era. https://t.co/pwCx7cZtZA

Will be on SiriusXM with @MSignorile shortly to discuss my new story on the bipartisan group trying to pass journalist protections before Trump takes over. Catch up: https://t.co/ayYHuJN0iA

This place increasingly on fumes, find me elsewhere https://t.co/zqsA4DUqwc

Amid the frenzy of the lame duck, a bipartisan group is quietly making a longshot, eleventh-hour attempt to pass federal protections for journalists and other critics before Trump and his famously thin-skinned coterie take over. Here's my scoop: https://t.co/ayYHuJN0iA

Can also report Raskin (D-MD) + Kiley (R-CA) are reintroducing Raskin's SLAPP Protection Act early Dec. Rare bipartisanship here after Kiley took Raskin's class at Yale Law; they led on the PRESS Act to protect reporters from government intervention, which passed the House in '22

Kate Riga @Kate_Riga24

Scoop: Wyden is teeing up a federal anti-SLAPP bill to introduce by end of year, a last-ditch attempt to pass protections for journalists + critics before Trump takes over. Trump + those in his orbit have used these lawsuits to chill criticism/try to bury critics in legal costs
