So you want to repeal the 1st Amendment?

By the way, the FD was abolished in 1987. FoxNews did not start up until 1996.

That is a nonpartisan issue. Party affiliation is irrelevant.

Anne Kaykaty, who wrote, "“I’m ready to watch people burn now,” is a school guidance counselor at Xaverian High School, apparently in Brooklyn, NY.

Add to my today's to-do list: suggest to Xaverian High School that this woman is unfit to be a counselor to their students.

The people who are happyto swallow the lies on Fox are not going to watch another network that tells the truth.

PinkTweets @pinktweets.bsky.social · 1h

Fox is cable. The FCC does not have that kind of authority over cable. The FD was deemed constitutional only because the FCC had authority over the public airwaves. That obviously would not apply to cable.

Moreover, compelled speech also violates 1A.

This? Nothing to do with federal policies. Just the decision by (believe it or not) Fox. And the FD never had anything to do with advertising.

It still amazes me that you can remember something from that long ago, but it would have had to have been 2016. The first lawsuit was not filed until 2016.

What did Conway say in response?

What exactly do you expect them to do?

That is not Katie Johnson. That is actress Nadia Bjorlin. She is thought to be the earliest known victim. Maxwell recruited her from the Interlochen music camp in Michigan. Epstein had built himself a lodge up there.

Not one word on the virulent bigotry expressed in the Young Republican chats.

Maybe they were emboldened by one of the most liberal members of Congress voting to commemorate one of their own.

You broke my heart and my spirit with that vote, Mr. Raskin.
