I *am* a constitutional scholar and you are correct.
I am no constitutional scholar, but I can't help but feel that "the President gets to dictate what every university can teach and what every television station should broadcast" is closer to what the founding fathers were worried about when it comes to free speech than trigger warnings on syllabi.

Feels like we’re in a surreal political moment where our elites desperately want to capitulate to a despot but the aspiring dictator is so dumb and bad at things that we’re still kinda free despite the best efforts of all involved.

This is the criteria for needing a home health aid
How Durbin plans to decide on another term:
"Whether I'm still physically able, mentally able to deal with the issues. This press conference is an indication that I still have my wits about me. And when it comes to the physical side of it, up and moving around, taking nourishment."

The conservative ideology is on such shaky ground that they have to control every social media algorithm and persecute progressive activists on behalf of billionaires just to tip the scales in their favor. Without censorship, repression, and infinite resources, American conservatism would collapse.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

About 50 years ago, I was reading political thrillers, including several by Fletcher Knebel. His 1966 novel, NIGHT OF CAMP DAVID, centers on a U.S. president who has gone insane. Signs of insanity include: desire for (a) an alliance with the USSR, and (b) annexation of Canada.
