What A Day
Trump’s War On Free Speech

In This Episode

Democrats on the Hill are hitting back after ABC suspended “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” indefinitely. They’ve introduced the No Political Enemies (or NOPE) Act, a bill that would protect people targeted for political speech, and called for the resignation of Federal Communications Commission chair Brendan Carr, whose comments targeting Kimmel came just hours before ABC pulled the show. To learn more about what Democrats are doing to protect free speech amid President Trump’s crackdown — while working to avoid a potential government shutdown  — we spoke to Michigan Democratic Sen. Elissa Slotkin.
And in headlines, the Senate confirms a whopping 48 of Trump’s nominees all at once, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.’s handpicked vaccine advisory council makes a change to the childhood vaccine schedule, and Trump disagrees with U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer — while standing next to him.
