THE LAST 2 DOMINOES OF OUR DEMOCRACY

Trump issued an Executive Order stating that he and AG Bondi get to interpret laws and impose those views upon federal agencies!!!  This includes the FCC, which oversees our NEWS MEDIA.

WHAT THIS MEANS:

Trump is taking steps to control news media, which will make it STATE-RUN MEDIA, like all autocrats before him, including Orban & Putin.  He opposes all reporting which could be considered dissent—does that sound like Democracy to you?

He has already banned The Associated Press (one of the most unbiased, impartial news agencies) from press briefings, and he has launched investigations against NBC, ABC, CBS, PBS, and NPR.  Plus, he has sanctioned the removal of thousands of pages of INFORMATION from government websites.

He won’t investigate FOX, because Fox isn’t news—it’s entertainment.  Courts have ruled that “reckless disregard for the truth” is not protected speech. Moreover, the FCC deems it “illegal for broadcasters to intentionally distort the news,” which includes LYING.  How will Trump’s power over the agency affect this?

Trump is carrying out a Project 2025 line item to centralize power in the Executive branch, called the Unitary Executive Theory.  Plus, states are enacting legislation to tamp down on public protests.  Here’s why this is important:

My WARNING IS TWOFOLD:

When Trump controls first our NEWS and second our RIGHT TO PROTEST, the final dominoes of our Democracy will tumble.  PERIOD.

What we can ALL agree upon, Republican, Democrat, Libertarian, Green. etc., is that we don’t want the collapse of our Republic.  SOUND THE ALARM, share, contact your representatives, and write Letters to Editors, warning everyone within the sound of your voice!

Excerpts:

“But another section of the order says the agencies must accept the views of Mr. Trump and Attorney General Pam Bondi on what the law means...

“’No employee of the executive branch acting in their official capacity may advance an interpretation of the law as the position of the United States that contravenes the president or the attorney general’s opinion on a matter of law, including but not limited to the issuance of regulations, guidance, and positions advanced in litigation...’

“’What we’re trying to do is identify the pockets of independence and seize them,’ Mr. Vought said.”
