The Republican Attorneys General for Louisiana — Jeff Landry — and Missouri — Eric Schmitt — filed a federal lawsuit against the Biden administration last week for what is alleged to be collusion with big tech companies including Meta, Twitter, and YouTube in order to suppress free expression and advance Biden’s agenda and policies.
The suit names the Department of Homeland Security, Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, Department of Health and Human Services, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as defendants along with President Joe Biden, Press Secretary Jen Psaki, Surgeon General Vivek Murthy, HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra, NIAID Director Dr. Anthony Fauci, DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, CISA Director Jen Easterly, and Disinformation Governance Board Director Nina Jankowicz in their official capacities.
As Schmitt and Landry explain in their complaint , “Freedom of speech is the bedrock of American liberty” and government officials lack authority to censor disfavored speakers or viewpoints.” As they point out, “Merely labeling speech ‘misinformation’ or ‘disinformation’ does not strip away First Amendment protections.” What’s more, they rightly state that “counterspeech, not censorship, is the proper response to supposed ‘misinformation.'” The lawsuit also points out that “public and private attempts to police ‘misinformation’ or ‘disinformation’ on social media have proven embarrassingly inaccurate.”
In an exhaustive Twitter thread, Attorney General Schmitt brought the receipts of the Biden administration’s work with big tech platforms to advance the president’s agenda and talking points while suppressing dissenting voices and ideas as well as stories that would be damaging to Biden and Democrats such as Hunter Biden’s “Laptop from Hell” and the lab leak origin theory for COVID-19. ??BREAKING: Missouri and Louisiana just filed suit against Joe Biden, Jen Psaki, Dr. Fauci, and other top-ranking officials for allegedly colluding with social […]
We Often Feel Like David Taking on Giants
Today’s Goliath is the Mainstream Media Industrial Complex that brainwashes the masses.
Our mission is very straightforward: To counter the false narratives and nefarious agendas destroying America today. It isn’t easy for obvious reasons; despite incredible growth over the last year we are still a very tiny fish in a huge media pond. But we’re fighting and we will continue to do so, Lord willing, for as long as we possibly can. The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.
We need help. I don’t want to say “desperately,” but the need is definitely great. If you have the means, please donate through our GivingFuel page, PayPal, or our Substack page. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
