How much does it cost to get information about a cop who punched someone in the face?
About $2.5M, plus 44,816 hours of staff time, according to the Eugene, OR, Police Department.
If that sounds absurd, it’s because it is.

This decision is a stinging defeat for Trump’s assault on the free press and a powerful vindication of the First Amendment.
As Judge Kelly recognized, presidents don’t get to use their power to purge journalists because they don’t like what they report.
