Summary

This morning, we’re covering a major development: Don is appearing in court after the U.S. Department of Justice brought charges tied to his coverage of a protest at a Minneapolis church. This isn’t just about one case. It’s about the freedom of speech and the freedom of the press and whether journalists can report on protests without facing retaliation from the government. We’ll break down what’s at stake and why this moment matters far beyond one courtroom. 🍋 This episode is brought to you Wildgrain.
