2025 was one of the most difficult years for press freedom in the U.S. Journalists faced escalating harassment, censorship, legal threats, and violence -- and FPF was there to support them. Check out a snapshot of what we accomplished in 2025:

The US press have suffered about as many assaults this year as in the previous three years combined, the organization states in a new report.

What do you expect from MAGA filth?

That's because DJT constantly refers to the media as enemies of the people. That gets his goons all fired up and wanting to hurt journalists.

And you know why Trump demonizes the media, right? It's not because he's truly contesting facts. It's because the truth is dangerous to him. Well, that and the fact that he's a hateful nut job.

I like he language being inciteful is situational. ICE has seen a 1200% increase in violence this year. But that's (D)ifferent.

The child-raping orange jizzfart's ICE goons add to his already massive body count.
