Summary
President Donald Trump and Co. have historically claimed to be all about free speech. But maybe Trump only cares about free speech when he likes what's being said. Earlier this month, The Intercept reported that the Department of Justice is taking Reddit to court to force the massive social media platform to unmask one of its users. Why? Because Immigration and Customs Enforcement has been desperately trying to identify the user who said stuff ICE doesn't like. To learn more about what's going on with Reddit and the Justice Department, we spoke with Ryan Devereaux . He's an investigative journalist for the Intercept.And in headlines, FBI Director Kash Patel says he's going to sue The Atlantic for a ' defamatory article ', companies that paid Trump's emergency tariffs can start claiming refunds , and Energy Secretary Chris Wright brings more bad news about gas prices.Show Notes: Check out Ryan's piece – https://tinyurl.com/5akbsrww Call Congress – 202-224-3121 Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/y4y2e9jy What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcast Follow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/ For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday
