Over at First Amendment Watch (NYU), I’m maintaining a repository of all Trump 2.0 First Amendment-related Executive Orders, information about legal challenges to the Administration’s actions and policies, and commentary about how Trump 2.0 has affected free expression. The repository is updated weekly and the Table of Contents links to relevant areas and materials. I put this resource together for anyone interested in following the extraordinary number of actions the Administration has taken that implicate freedom of expression.
Later this year, I’ll be publishing a book with Carolina Academic Press, Trump 2.0: Executive Power and the First Amendment, that organizes the materials in a way that will help teachers, students, and others learn about Trump 2.0 First Amendment controversies. Among the questions the book discusses: How can executive power be used to threaten free expression, how do executive actions differ from legislative acts in terms of their ability to affect freedoms of speech and press, and how have traditional First Amendment doctrines performed in response to executive actions?
