FYI, the government paying influencers $8 million to push pro-ICE propaganda online, is what “paid professional outside agitators” actually looks like.

@BrendanCarrFCC @protctdemocracy @TechFreedom @FCC Ooooh, Twitter fight! The core allegation in that petition was that a licensee who was found by *two separate courts* to have lied to the public about the 2020 election *lacked the character* to hold a broadcast license. Why didn’t you revive that one along with the others?

The MAD petition argued that Rupert and Lachlan Murdoch lack the character required by the communications act for renewal of their license for station WTXF because they are the principals of Fox News found by the court in the dominion case of repeatedly presenting false news.

You really just gotta read the emails for yourself - headlines don't do it justice
🚨BREAKING: Oversight Dems have received new emails from Jeffrey Epstein’s estate that raise serious questions about Donald Trump and his knowledge of Epstein’s horrific crimes. Read them for yourself. It’s time to end this cover-up and RELEASE THE FILES.

Replace Trump with Biden in a video like this with a foreign leader and try to tell me it isn’t a top news story for the entire week. I’m getting extremely upset at the media’s deliberate ignoring of Trump’s health.

Trump's attacks on the free press aren't an isolated incident. They're a constant barrage designed to push us further into an authoritarian strongman state. 🔗 https://t.co/ivJlGSVCLo

Journalist Mario Guevara has been deported after 100+ days in custody — just for doing his job. Watch @SethAStern explain why this is “unconstitutional, un-American, and wrong.”

One upside of the Kimmel story is that it gives us another chance to remember that Trump is still suing Gannett and Ann Selzer over a poll he didn't like. Unlike Paramount and Disney, Gannett and Selzer are still fighting the suit.

The Kimmel suspension is a much bigger deal than you know. It's really about a growing alliance between Trump and the companies that own America's local TV stations - like Nexstar - to turn local TV into Trump propaganda. 1/ Let me tell you the short story. It's chilling.
