#Trump says #ABC, #NBC licenses should be revoked over refusal to air speech on “election integrity”
Trump claimed without evidence that ABC & NBC declined to cover the speech because they were complicit in a larger fraud.
“They & others in the media are part of a plot. They want to continue this fraud for whatever reason. They want to keep it going. They want to protect the radical left,” he said.#BigLie #Trumpaganda #propaganda #gaslighting #law #FirstAmendment

Trump's admin gathered 60+ countries to launch a campaign against "left-wing terrorism." Data show it's rarer, less deadly than far-right violence, and experts warn it could target critics.

The Trump administration convened officials from more than 60 countries to launch a global campaign against "left-wing terrorism." But independent data show such violence is far rarer and less deadly than far-right attacks, and legal experts warn the effort could target ordinary critics next.

"A federal court today temporarily blocked the Trump administration from enforcing an immigration policy targeting noncitizen researchers, advocates, fact-checkers, and trust and safety workers for visa denials and revocations, detention, and deportation based on their work. The Knight First Amendment Institute at Columbia University and Protect Democracy filed the lawsuit earlier this year on behalf of the Coalition for Independent Technology Research (CITR).
“This policy punishes researchers for work the public needs and the First Amendment protects,” said Carrie DeCell, senior staff attorney at the Knight First Amendment Institute, who argued the motion before the court in May. “We’re glad the court recognized the serious constitutional harms this policy is already causing and blocked the government from enforcing it while the case proceeds.”
In today’s decision, Chief Judge James Boasberg concluded that the policy unconstitutionally discriminates against one set of viewpoints in the public debate surrounding social media. As he wrote, the policy “sweeps into the category of ‘foreign censorship’ a substantial measure of the research, reporting, advocacy, and association through which CITR and institutions like it carry out their protected work, and it does so on the basis of viewpoint, in violation of the First Amendment.”"

"Cape Cod cat account owner with 1.9M followers sues the Secret Service
When the U.S. Secret Service prevented Amanda McGonigle from attending a JD Vance event in Maine, she filed suit in U.S. District Court.
The Cape Cod woman claims she was retaliated against for the comments and viewpoints she’s shared on her Instagram account: @CatsOnACouch.
The civil case, filed July 7 with the assistance of ACLU of Maine, claims the retaliation against her was in violation of the First Amendment. McGonigle wants the court to declare the Secret Service actions unconstitutional, to award damages for legal fees, and to issue an order prohibiting the Secret Service and the Executive Office of the President from excluding her from official vice-presidential events in the future."

A federal judge just torched DeSantis's Stop WOKE Act — the law built to police what a professor may say about race and gender in a Florida classroom. The court called it "a breathtaking assertion of power" and said if the First Amendment protects a public university classroom at all, this statute crosses the line.

Government-mandated gatekeepers have no place between Americans and lawful speech. CCIA’s Fifth Circuit brief argues Texas’ SB2420 imposes unconstitutional barriers to lawful speech by requiring age verification, parental consent, and compelled age ratings. Americans shouldn’t have to surrender their #privacy or show ID to access lawful information online. Free expression includes both the right to speak and the right to receive information. #FirstAmendment #FreeSpeech https://ccianet.org/news/2026/06/ccia-files-brief-arguing-that-texas-app-store-law-likely-violates-first-amendment/
