One underreported fact is Brendan Carr—the FCC chairman who got Kimmel suspended—spent the last four years warning that government censorship of critics leads to authoritarianism.

Birthright citizenship is a Constitutional RIGHT. Any attack on it is an attack on us all.
This is an attempt by far-right justices to attack immigrant communities and remove protections from any American who questions Trump.
