290: All Roads Lead To The Pentagon

Get tickets for the #SistersInLaw live shows in Denver, Colorado, on 4/23/26, and in Atlanta, Georgia on 5/3/26 at politicon.com/tour

Barb McQuade hosts #SistersInLaw to analyze the growing threats to press freedom, focusing on the Pentagon’s restrictions on journalists during the Trump administration and a legal victory by the NYT granting journalists greater access to government officials on 1st Amendment grounds. Then, the #Sisters revisit the Anthropic case, examining the dangers of labeling companies as supply chain risks, the ethics of government AI use, and a preliminary injunction against the Pentagon. They also discuss recent jury verdicts against social media companies in New Mexico and California and their potential to drive corporate change.
