#PBS sued #Trump on Friday to block an #ExecutiveOrder that would cut federal #funding for public television & radio, arguing that it was #unconstitutional.
The lawsuit, filed in DC by PBS & a public TV station in #Minnesota, says that Trump’s EO violates laws that “forbid the President from serving as the arbiter of the #content of PBS’s programming, including by attempting to defund PBS.”

#TakeItDown Act has passed the #House 409-2 giving #Trump & the #FTC power to #censor the #internet.
The bill seems good at first glance. It requires online platforms to remove nonconsensual intimate imagery aka“revenge porn.”
However, it will also enable the FTC to demand #content be removed from websites.
🚨In fact, Trump said he will use the bill ON HIS OWN BEHALF, presumably to remove criticism of him from the web.
