And large corporations with media holdings have decided to self-censor to appease a wannabe dictator.

This is how democracies die.

For the first time in a generation, we have censorship of the press.

Not because the government prohibits publication of offending material.

But because the administration coerces and dangles corrupt incentives like help with billion-dollar mergers.

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

Today, I convened a group of former military generals and veterans to hear perspectives on deploying troops in American cities.

Their commitment is to our nation. That’s why they’re speaking out against what the President's doing as uncalled-for, unprecedented, and un-American.

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it?

If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say?

Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

Democracy depends on a fearless and free press.

Corporations or ultra-wealthy individuals with many other business interests should not be allowed to control our media.

They cannot be trusted to prioritize the public’s right to know over their own financial interests.

There is no excuse for political violence in America. And no excuse for a U.S. president using a heinous killing as an occasion to treat his political opponents as accomplices to murder and threatening to use the full power of the government to attack them.

I mourn for Charlie Kirk’s family. I didn’t agree with almost anything he said, but he had a right to go on a work trip and return safely to his wife and two young children.

Like all Americans, he deserved to be safe from gun violence.

Instead of inciting more violence, our political leaders should use this moment to unite us around common sense gun reforms that a majority of Americans support.
