The U.S. Senate has a chance to pass critical protections for journalists -- help us tell them this must be a priority. https://act.eff.org/action/tell-congress-to-pass-the-press-act-now

  Tell Congress To Pass the PRESS Act Now
  
  from @eff
  
  The Protect Reporters from Exploitive State Spying (PRESS) Act is a long overdue federal shield law that provides protections to journalists against government surveillance and forced disclosure of confidential sources. Journalists shouldn’t be forced to choose between protecting their confidential sources or going to prison. But the reality is that both Democratic and Republican administrations have secretly subpoenaed reporters’ emails and phone records to hunt down their sources. That chills essential newsgathering and whistleblowing, and it needs to stop now.

  @eff Not all journalists act in good faith. Considering there are barely any repercussions when reporting on unverified rumors just by adding "allegedly" or "sources say" I'm hesitant on giving these grifters even more protection.
