Support Free Speech Bill, Rein in FCC Censorship

The First Amendment is the foundation of our freedom. Yet we have seen it trampled as Jimmy Kimmel’s show was suspended after he criticized MAGA efforts to politicize Charlie Kirk’s murder — under pressure from the Trump regime and threats from FCC Chair Brendan Carr. That is government censorship, plain and simple. Congress now has a bill before it to protect free speech and prevent this abuse of power. This legislation would restrict the FCC’s ability to punish political or critical speech and ensure that broadcast licenses cannot be revoked simply because content is critical of the government. Supporting this bill is not a partisan issue — it is about protecting every American’s right to speak freely. The hypocrisy is glaring. Fox’s Brian Kilmeade suggested executing homeless people by “involuntary lethal injection.” He was allowed to apologize and move on. Jimmy Kimmel, by contrast, was silenced for criticizing Trump. That double standard proves this is not about decency — it is about punishing critics of those in power. If government power can be used this way once, it can be used again against anyone. I urge you to support this bill, remove FCC Chair Carr for abuse of power, and stand firmly on the side of the First Amendment. America does not belong to any one man or party — it belongs to free citizens who can speak their minds without fear.
