    “raised an uproar on the X platform”

    He’s using the fascist’s social media site to condemn what the fascist administration is doing?

    raised an uproar on the X platform on Friday

    Why are people still using that platform? All the head Nazi has to do is tell some underling to delete/hide your tweet, or block you forever…

    This would be a clear violation of the 1st Amendment, so any “investigative threats” should not be considered in any way as “threats”. They should instead be reported to the public as evidence of unamerican activity and disloyalty to America and American values.

    The FCC is like the one agency they could shrink

    I get it, it’s too late to go back to an era where radio waves were free, but the FCC has way too stringent rules. They should worry about things like protecting critical devices from interference and ensuring companies don’t fuck people over (monopolies, robocalls, stuff like that)

      The normal FCC is not the issue.
      Trump and his people threatening journalists is the problem.

        It is though. Like I said, certain tasks are important, but others are overreach (specifically what they do with censorship and control of certain airwaves)

    How is not not a democracy? Trump was elected with a clear mandate and he is doing exactly what the electors asked him to do. It is literally a democracy.
