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.

Always trust your instincts... John Kerry made the same mistake. Both paid the price. Now we pay an even bigger price.
Kamala Harris writes in her upcoming book that Pete Buttigieg was her “first choice” for a running mate—but that she decided that he would be too risky. Jonathan Lemire reports:
The Running Mate Kamala Harris Didn’t Dare Choose
“I love Pete,” she writes in her new book. But picking a gay man would have been too risky.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say.
This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand.
All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

What happens next is up to all of us - leaders and ordinary citizens alike.
In responding to this horrific violence, the most important categories aren't left and right, they are about helping versus hurting.
We should heed and amplify the voices who are helping.

Democratic societies will always have political disagreements, but we must never allow America to become a country that confronts those disagreements with violence.

The NRA and tea party selectively decided to ONLY fight tyranny if tyranny is perceived being committed by the left. Not one peep about this government’s repeated violations of the constitution.
The second amendment guarantees the right to a militia to guard against federal tyranny. But if a president can use that force against its own state, against the wishes of that state, then it is no militia at all and a clear violation of the second amendment.
