So the position of the Trump-Vance administration — and every member of Congress unless they explicitly say otherwise — is quite literally you do not have guaranteed free speech rights in America if you say things they don't like.
That is the headline.

Marco Rubio on Rumeysa Ozturk: "We revoked her visa ... once you've lost your visa, you're no longer legally in the United States ... if you come into the US as a visitor and create a ruckus for us, we don't want it. We don't want it in our country. Go back and do it in your country."

Of course not. They're too busy investigating people protesting at Tesla dealerships to investigate the illegal discussion of war crime planning via sharing classified info on personal phones.
Breaking News: Attorney General Pam Bondi suggested that there was not likely to be a criminal inquiry into the sharing of military plans in an unsecured chat.
Bondi Suggests Signal Chat Episode Is Unlikely to Be Criminally Investigated
The attorney general said the focus should be on the success of the U.S. military strike in Yemen, not that military information was shared in advance in a group text among top officials.

A Trump-Musk memo telling US government employees to hide what’s happening from the public is a sign that:
1) Public legitimacy is a constraint for them, they know it, and will at times alter their behavior accordingly
2) Reporters should focus on it, revealing more of what they’re trying to hide
