Today's decision being heavily criticized by Past Brendan Carr
Should the government censor speech it doesn’t like? Of course not. The FCC does not have a roving mandate to police speech in the name of the “public interest.” Who, in your view, should have the power to draw the line between a “lie” and “free speech”? Government officials that want to stay in political power or the people that can hold them accountable ? President Biden is right. Political satire is one of the oldest and most important forms of free speech. It challenges those in power while using humor to draw more people in to the discussion. That’s why people in influential positions have always targeted it for censorship. Free speech is the counterweight—it is democracy’s check on government control. That’s why censorship is the authoritarian’s dream. After all, there’s a straight line from the soap box to the ballot box. You retain freedom at both or neither.

Let's be clear: this is a red state healthcare executive telling people that rural red states will be gutted.

“The further the cuts that are made, the more devastating it is,” said Shantel Krebs, president and CEO of Avera St. Mary’s, a hospital in South Dakota.
