No Kings round three expected to draw more than 9 million, Pentagon once again threatens press freedom.

March 27, 2026

Hi there,

It’s Friday. Tomorrow is the third No Kings rally and there are over 3,100+ events planned across the country and the rest of the world. More than 9 million people are expected to participate and you can find an event near you using this link! See you out there.

In addition, the Pentagon is threatening to criminalize journalists asking "unauthorized” questions, a broadside attack on the freedom of the press. Journalists are not stenographers for government messaging—they are watchdogs tasked with asking difficult, unscripted questions on behalf of the public. Any effort to limit or punish those questions is an attempt to control information and shield power from scrutiny. Yet too much media coverage risks treating this as a bureaucratic or communications issue rather than what it represents: a fundamental threat to press freedom.

A free press cannot function under permission-based questioning. The media must say so plainly.
