  10. Silencing free speech kills democracy. They’re trying!

    We cannot allow conservative media companies with a disinformation agenda like Sinclair and Nexstar to dominate our public discourse.

    What fake threat do I use next?
    How long do I wait before announcing another two-week wait?

  26. I want you to get up now. I want all of you to get up out of your chairs.
