And it’s coming from inside the house
BREAKING: Scott Pelley just risked everything to make one thing clear:
The attack on free speech isn’t coming—it’s already here.
Journalists are being silenced, critics are being punished, and most of the media’s playing dead.
This is state-sponsored suppression. This is dictatorship in real time.

@kairyssdal.bsky.social @marketplace reporters need to stop referring to “liberation day” unless it is clarified as “Trump’s name for the day that he increased tariffs.” Otherwise you look like state media.

It's remarkable how much of this administration's agenda has been laser focused on simply making life worse for ordinary Americans.
Russell Vought, acting head of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, has canceled plans to introduce new rules designed to limit the ability of US data brokers to sell Americans’ most sensitive data, credit history, and Social Security numbers.

We know exactly why House Republicans will meet in the dead of night on Wednesday to prepare Trump’s budget for the floor—because they’re cowards who want to hide away while they gut health care and food assistance.
They think we won’t notice. They better think again.

Trump's firing spree has hit the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, the entity that disperses federal funds to public TV and radio stations across the country. There's only one problem: Under the 1967 law that created the private corporation, Trump does not have the authority to fire them.
