Friend,

Jimmy Kimmel Live was yanked off the air after the FCC Chairman threatened ABC
over a joke Kimmel made about the MAGA movement exploiting Charlie Kirk’s death.

Think about that: one comment from a late-night host, and an entire show —
along with the jobs of stagehands, camera operators, writers, and crew —
vanished overnight.

Now, while ABC has decided to put Kimmel back on the air, Trump’s intimidation
worked.Scores of local affiliates across the country still refuse to broadcast
the show — silencing his voice and punishing the workers who make it possible.

For years, MAGA Republicans have shouted about “free speech” while spreading
divisive rhetoric on TV, podcasts, and at rallies. But this Administration has
made it clear: free speech only applies if you echo Donald Trump’s message.

That’s why I took action. As the top Democrat on the Communications &
Technology Subcommittee of the House Energy & Commerce Committee,I led the call
for the Inspector General to investigate the FCC Chairman’s abuse of power, and
I’ve spoken out at hearings to expose how this Administration is weaponizing
the FCC against its critics.

We’ve seen dictatorships censor media abroad. Now, we’re watching it unfold
here at home — with threats to revoke broadcast licenses being used as a
political weapon.

I’m running for Congress again because I refuse to let freedom of speech be
erased in America. If you’re with me, I need your help to keep fighting.

possible.

The First Amendment is under attack. Today it’s late-night comedians. Tomorrow
it could be anyone who dares to speak out. We cannot let that happen.

I’ve spent the last two decades fighting for California, and I’m committed to
continuing that fight.Are you with me?
