Sen Lummis (R-Wy): “Under normal times, in normal circumstances, I tend to think that the First Amendment should always be sort of the ultimate right. And that there should be almost no checks and balances on it. I don’t feel that way anymore." www.semafor.com/article/09/1...

You don’t like what you see on television? Change the channel. No one is forcing you to watch. To cancel someone because they spoke their mind is un-American. To celebrate someone getting censored by the government is un-American.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say.
This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand.
All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

The free speech activist who built a list of professors he worked to get fired for their speech must be celebrated for his support of free speech, and anyone who quotes his speech accurately in context will be fired and/or face state punishment by the champions of free speech, do I have that right?

The GOP's idea of free speech means only if they agree with what you are saying. If they don't they will then try to silence you using government action, threats and getting you fired from your job.

The Pope is exactly right.
No society can survive when one man becomes a trillionaire while the vast majority struggle to just survive — trying to put food on the table, pay rent and afford health care.
We can and must do better.

Trump will always stand by Patel. Why? 1) Patel is willing to do anything and everything Trump wants him to do. 2) Patel has seen the Epstein files. He has the goods on Trump.

First, on economic security. We need to treat economic security as a national security priority—because it is.
I believe in my bones that the existential threat to the United States is the shrinking middle class here at home.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone.
Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care.
