The New York Times has filed a second lawsuit against the Pentagon, challenging a policy that requires journalists to have official escorts when covering the Department of Defense. The Times says this policy makes it very hard for reporters to do their jobs and goes against decades of more open press access.
Key Facts
The New York Times sued the Pentagon over new rules forcing reporters to have escorts inside Pentagon buildings.
The lawsuit claims the policy is unconstitutional and makes reporting "utterly unreasonable."
In the past, reporters could move freely in unsecured areas to speak with many officials quickly.
The new rules mean reporters must arrange appointments, wait, be escorted, and repeat this for each source.
The Pentagon has called press access a privilege it grants but has not yet commented on the new lawsuit.
This is the second lawsuit by the Times on this issue; a previous suit led to some changes but the Pentagon introduced interim rules with escorts again.
A federal judge ruled the escort policy broke court orders, but the Pentagon appealed and the policy remains during the appeal.
The Times wants the court to remove the escort requirement, saying it blocks access to important news.

The Trump administration plans to cancel limits on four harmful PFAS chemicals in drinking water set during President Biden’s term and delay rules for two others. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) says it will review these limits again because it claims the previous rules were rushed and might not hold up in court.
Key Facts
PFAS are a group of around 16,000 chemicals used to make products resistant to water, stains, and grease.
They are called “forever chemicals” because they do not break down naturally and can cause cancer and other health problems.
The Biden administration’s EPA set limits on six dangerous PFAS in drinking water two years ago to protect public health.
About 200 million people in the US have drinking water contaminated with some form of PFAS.
The Trump EPA announced plans to reverse these limits and delay new ones, citing concerns about the legal process and speed of implementation.
Approval for new EPA rules can take years and may face court challenges.
Public health experts warn that removing these limits could put people’s health at risk.
EPA officials involved include Lee Zeldin and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who defended the new plan as a “clean water mandate.”
