HuffPost will attend the White House Correspondents' Association dinner amid ongoing assaults on the federal workforce and journalism under Trump. These include blocking access to media outlets and intimidation of journalists. HuffPost, having faced such tactics directly, is highlighting the experiences of individuals like Hampton Dellinger, Rohit Chopra, and Andrew Bivins who endured similar retaliatory actions. The event serves as a reminder of the importance of a free press in combating authoritarianism, recognizing the critical role journalists play in informing the public and exposing truths.
A free press is a necessary, if hardly sufficient, bulwark to fend off the threat of authoritarianism.
HuffPost is bringing guests to this year's dinner who have experienced the fallout firsthand.
