This is urgent, John.
ABC just pulled Jimmy Kimmel’s show off the air, and it wasn’t a programming decision.
It happened just hours after Trump’s allies at the FCC threatened the network over jokes Kimmel made criticizing Trump.
This is what political censorship looks like. And it’s working.

The idea that a president can influence what a network airs should alarm every American who believes in free speech and a free press.
But we’ve seen this before:
- Trump tried to cut funding for NPR and PBS
- He’s targeted journalists with lawsuits and threats
- He’s encouraged violence against the media
- And now, he’s going after comedians who dare to mock him
Let’s be clear: when media corporations cave to political intimidation, they’re not just protecting profits. They’re helping dismantle democracy.
We need to push back, loudly and urgently.

Thanks for taking a stand.
