Brendan Carr, FCC chair, threatens broadcaster licenses. This is a violation of the First Amendment.

First Amendment violation, Brendan.

I wonder if a class-action lawsuit (with 320 million of us being the injured class) might change your mind.

Do this and ALL of us will see you in court.

ICE hasn't slowed down. We must continue to speak up and defend our undocumented brothers and sisters.

We are a nation of 349M, yet one man decided to launch our nation into a reckless, illegal war without congressional authorization or counsel or the support of the American people. He didnโ€™t think he had any duty to sell it or serve the peopleโ€™s interests. This is why despotic rule is so dangerous.

Incredible that just 24 hours after this tweet, it's being reported that America is preparing to put boots on the ground in Iran.

Opinion | Social Media Isnโ€™t Just Speech. Itโ€™s Also a Defective, Hazardous Product. Donโ€™t let the First Amendment arguments fool you.

If we made the green energy transition this war would be unthinkable and these authoritarians wouldnโ€™t be in power โ€” not in the US, not in Iran, not in Saudi Arabia, not in Russia. Hydrocarbons are killing our freedom and just plain killing us.

Still no censure of Tommy Tuberville, Randy Fine, or Andy Ogles, who are openly promoting hate against Muslims while the US is bombing Iran, killing the Ayatollah, and people like Lindsey Graham are calling it a "religious war" DURING RAMADAN.

How do you think this all ends, folks?

They either didn't know Iran would shut down the Strait of Hormuz or they knew and didn't have a plan.

Either way - just totally clear they don't give a damn about what this war means for hardworking Americans.

Note:
Our counterterrorism apparatus has been totally hollowed out.

Now we're at war with a country that has a history of terrorist attacks across much of the world.

We're going to have a terrorist attack.
THIS TIME, we cannot allow a PATRIOT act 2.0.
