FACT FOCUS: Democrats did not shut down the government to give health care to 'illegal immigrants'

I've noted a couple people arguing that ICE can't possibly keep arresting everyone because it would destroy the labor pool, and it seems that some people have forgotten that the fashy solution to that problem is labor camps

Sending thoughts & prayers to the war-ravaged city of Portland, Oregon now under siege from attack by Antifa & other domestic terrorists. Take solace in dear leader's words: "Nothing bad can happen. It can only good happen." (and "DON'T TAKE TYLENOL"). Let the healing begin...

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.

Let’s be clear about what happened to Jimmy Kimmel

Trump’s most brazen attack on free speech yet.

Jimmy Kimmel wasn't being totally factually inaccurate, but more to he point, *he was telling a joke.* Censorship of comedians is pretty textbook authoritarian behavior.

FCC boss Brendan Carr's old tweets resurface after #JimmyKimmelLive was pulled

"Political satire is one of the oldest & most important forms of free speech"

"It challenges those in power while using humor to draw more people in"

"Should the government censor speech it doesn’t like? Of course not"
