New ruling from federal judge rejects Pentagon's attempt to revise media restrictions following an earlier, adverse court ruling: https://www.nytimes.com/2026/04/09/business/media/judge-hegseth-pentagon-reporters-rules.html

“Today’s decision upholds our constitutional rights again and sends a clear message to the Pentagon. Compliance with a lawful order of a court is not optional; it is required in a democracy committed to the rule of law. We are pleased that Judge Friedman saw the revised policy issued by the Pentagon after his last decision for what it was: a poorly disguised attempt to continue to violate the constitutional rights of The Times and its journalists.” — Charlie Stadtlander, a spokesperson for The New York Times
