Federal judge imposes preliminary injunction against Texas AG Ken Paxton's probe of Media Matters for America.

Judge halts Texas AG Ken Paxton's probe of Media Matters for America, a progressive media watchdog group. The federal judge imposed a preliminary injunction against Paxton, who sought to investigate Media Matters after it reported on white nationalist content on X (formerly Twitter). Media Matters' CEO Angelo Carusone called the decision a "victory for free speech." The group had sued Paxton, alleging violations of their First Amendment rights.
