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.

Platner: I believe that input from working people is far more important than input from someone who simply has money. I believe that we shouldn’t be settling for crumbs while billionaires eat the cookie we baked.

Just going to reiterate that in 2016 Trump inherited the lowest murder rate of any president in 50 years. He set reality aside, gave his “American Carnage” inaugural address, and was then the first president in 30 years to leave office with a higher murder rate than when he started.
...Voters really, really care about controlling immigration and crime. They just do. And if voters don’t think Democrats will take those issues seriously, they elect a garbage human like Trump who will seize the opportunity to expand his own power.

Right wing and “enlightened” “ centrist bozos are obsessively mad about the woke because they’re projecting and angry about their own sleep deprivation!
I have never seen anyone who claims that the woke are ruining the country that looks like they are regularly getting 7+ hours of sleep a night!

Just now realizing a large portion of the electorate, especially rich guys, confuse being smart with Being Awake All The Time™.
Donald Trump? Hasn't slept more than 3 hours since 1967. Elon Musk? Awake full-time since Halloween. Stephen A. Smith? $100 mill. from ESPN, eyes always open like a fish.

Ya know it’s kind of silly that a debate about ethics in video game journalism spiraled into a sudden rise of authoritarianism but here we are.

I understand why these stories exist but it’s important to be clear that he’s not “saving” 16 billion, he’s choosing, personally, without oversight, to wipe out 16 billion dollars of government services to veterans and the disabled and food safety etc etc
DOGE says it has saved $55 billion in federal spending so far, but its website only accounts for $16.6 billion of that
