“Bondi warns Crockett”
Trump has threatened “his enemies” for decades, but now he threatens judges with impeachment, & he’s instructed “his AG” & his Cabinet, Musk, Senators, Reps, & enablers to also make vicious threats, at times, even bordering on death threats.
“Trump’s Attorney General just issued a threat to Rep. Jasmine Crockett, telling her to “tread very carefully” when criticizing Elon Musk.”
-BT Cohen

@MikeImBack -- #FreeMahmoudKhalil -- They don't get that their #2A rights are rooted in their #1A rights. Too many #MAGA #Gunowners don't get that if you take away peaceful protest and there is no other way to change your government, you are left with violence. They will then come for the guns in the name of public safety.
#GunOwners #2A #1A #FreeMahmoudKhalil #FreedomofSpeech #SocialistGunClub
There are a lot of #MAGA people who claim to love Guns and their freedom of speech awfully silent about this.
PACIFISM allows you to keep your guns. Peaceful protests allow you to keep your guns. If you take away that freedom to express yourself, it only makes violence more likely. If violence becomes the only way to change government, you know full well you no longer have your guns.

And here it is, exactly what I feared. Getting rid of staff so they can install Trump's people.
Just today:
"Voice of America staff put on administrative leave"
"Full-time employees at Voice of America received an email this morning from human resources saying they have been placed on paid administrative leave, according to a copy of the memo that was obtained ABC News."

One more thing about the right of the public to know what government is doing.
Independent news media is crucial during the times we're living in. If we don't know what is happening, how can we be responsible citizens?

I am worried that these events will lead to VOA becoming purely government propaganda rather than actual news, and then it may be the only news source that comes from the White House.
This administration is cracking down on speech and ideas.
Press freedom was meant to be a pressure point for government transparency. Trump's eliminating that freedom--and the right of the public to know what it's doing.

VOA was producing news, and had been for decades. It also ran stories from the news wires, like Reuters and AP.
Let's recall that Trump made a statement about VOA when Lake was appointed. He said:
Lake's appointment would help “ensure that the American values of Freedom and Liberty are broadcast around the world FAIRLY and ACCURATELY, unlike the lies spread by the Fake News Media.”

Statement by Kari Lake:
“We should not be paying outside news organizations to tell us what the news is,” said Lake, who ran unsuccessfully for Arizona governor. “With a nearly billion-dollar budget, we should be producing news ourselves. And if that’s not possible, the American taxpayer should demand to know why.”
Why should VOA be "producing news ourselves"?
So that the Trump administration can literally *control the news*.

This news story caught my eye yesterday:
"Voice of America ending contracts with Associated Press, Reuters and Agence France Presse"
"Lake announced via social media on Thursday that she was ending the 'expensive and unnecessary contracts' with the wire services."
So far, it would appear another cost-cutting move by the Trump administration, although VOA severing relationships with international news services seemed extreme.
But there's more...

The Voice of America (VOA) was established in 1942 during World War II to provide accurate news and counter Nazi propaganda. It has since evolved into a major international broadcaster, delivering news and cultural programming in nearly 50 languages, funded by the U.S. government through the U.S. Agency for Global Media.
President Trump appointed Kari Lake as a special adviser to the U.S. Agency for Global Media.
