I mean come on... FBI raiding someone's home over a "sham pretext" sounds like something out of a bad spy thriller . But for real though, this is getting outta hand. I'm not saying the Pentagon contractor didn't do anything shady, but using it as an excuse to silence a journalist who did some actual reporting? That's just not right.
And can we talk about how this administration is basically setting up its own propaganda machine? Like, if you leak something and someone reports on it, suddenly it's a national security threat . I'm calling BS. If they're really that concerned about leaks, maybe they should focus on actually keeping their own people from spilling the beans instead of trying to silence whistleblowers.
I swear, press freedom is like that one aunt who always shows up uninvited but claims you're just being rude if you kick her out . You need some serious protection for journalists to keep doing their job.

Can't believe what's happening with the FBI raid on Hannah Natanson's home 
. This is like something out of a dystopian novel - the government just went rogue and started harassing a journalist who was doing her job 
. And for what? To silence someone who reported on sensitive info that might've been leaked by someone who wasn't even clearly guilty 
. It's like they're trying to send a message to all journalists: "Don't bother asking questions, we'll just silence you" 
.
They've been classifying everything under the sun as "sensitive info" and ignoring federal laws like they don't even care 
. It's like they want to create a culture of fear where journalists are too scared to report on anything, lest they get raided by the FBI 
.
. We need a federal shield bill NOW to protect journalists from intimidation and harassment 
. Anyone with me? 
. I think it's about time we cracked down on all these leakers and journalists who just can't seem to get their facts straight. I mean, if they're going to report on sensitive information without verifying it first, that's just irresponsible journalism. The FBI was right to raid Natanson's home - someone has to send a message that this kind of behavior won't be tolerated.
. They're always spinning stories and twisting facts to fit their narrative. If they're really committed to press freedom, why are they so quick to bash the administration? It's all just part of the same old partisan game. I'm not buying it.
. We need to start taking national security more seriously, not just making excuses for our own biases.
. This is exactly why we need a free press to hold those in power accountable 
. I mean, I'm not buying that it was just about investigating Aurelio Perez-Lugones and his alleged leak of classified info. There's gotta be more to it than that 
.
. Congress needs to step up and pass a federal shield bill or reform the Espionage Act ASAP 
.
. We need to stand up to the government and demand accountability for their actions
