Opinion | Firing talkshow hosts is not a free speech issue. Company should be free to hire and fire at will. Universities on the other hand need to hire many more conservative professors.

David Letterman on his career mocking presidents: “Beating up on these people, rightly or wrongly, accurately or perhaps inaccurately, in the name of comedy—not once were we squeezed by anyone from any governmental agency, let alone the dreaded FCC.”

I think this comparison is largely right.
Yes, it’s a replay of McCarthyism’s ugliest aspects but that was fueled by a widespread sense that the country faced dire external dangers while this is about a deeply unpopular president’s grudges.

This is the biggest attack on free speech since the McCarthy era but it also has significantly less popular consensus behind it than the second Red Scare. It's being done on behalf of a minority faction led by the most unpopular president in modern history. Organizing against this can win.

Even after abusing his power to get Kimmel fired, Trump is still seething with resentment. Hopefully to the point of ill health.

Trump’s latest tweet is about Kimmel.
“He made a total FOOL of himself, his wife and agent begging him not to do it, while also proving to be one of the Worst Hosts in the History of the Academy Awards.”

No more pretending. There is no more Supreme Court. There is nothing Trump will do that will make GOP Congress stop him. They do not intend to have further elections. They plan to go after dissent. Sometimes it’s helpful to establish where we are so we understand the nature of our task.

The VA election is on 11/4/25. After all the damage that has been done by the Trump regime, VA must go bluer—to pass bills that would protect VA. W/a 51–49 Dem majority, we need to grow it in the House of Delegates & elect Abigail Spanberger Governor for a Dem trifecta. Here’s what you can do 🧵1/3

CDC Teams That Study Gun Violence and Collect Data Are Decimated by Layoffs
The Trump’s administration’s cuts come after the field of gun violence research saw renewed federal support during the Biden era.
