Hey [@amyklobuchar.com]( ) [@klobuchar.senate.gov]( ), I've asked this before and I feel the need to ask again, though you've made it clear you will not answer, but why do you keep wishing to give the Trump administration more power to censor people?

This is buried at the end of Elizabeth's thread but it is such a key point: "people want their candidates to fight for them, not step on their necks trying to reach across the aisle." RE:
So this is incredible. FCC boss Brendan Carr is claiming he can go after DIsney/ABC because Kimmel said Kirk's shooter was MAGA. Two problems with this: (1) He can't and (2) Kimmel didn't actually say that. He just said that MAGA world was trying to prevent people from claiming he was MAGA. https://oyster.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:cak4klqoj3bqgk5rj6b4f5do&cid=bafkreia5jwon6xrqbms626nftyqm2it5tko4fjydleajt276imjnbhaoci

Lol. I read the article about the new centrist think tank, and my goodness, why would anyone back this guy who seems to... not be very good at his job? All of your candidates failed to generate excitement in the base and lost, except for the one who did, but then flipped on everything immediately. https://oyster.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:cak4klqoj3bqgk5rj6b4f5do&cid=bafkreidylf4th6pxh6hrmol5vs5fysmq3lawk66gszasc5tzygr2cg2mb4
It is quite incredible how all these new groups are defined by all the good things they *won't* do. Have some fucking principles and talk about what you do believe in. RE:
I had some thoughts about people saying that "debate me bro" trolling is somehow the height of democratic discourse. RE:
Just noting, this letter (from the URL) is to "big tech" so according to Congress, Bluesky is "big tech" now. 😜 RE:
Lol. If you look up "it's okay when the President does it" in the dictionary, they have a picture of John Yoo. So for him to say this is quite something. This is the guy who wrote the legal memo justifying torture. And now he's all "hey, there's a line!" RE:
It is truly incredible how blusteringly incompetent these guys are. RE:
