RFK Jr: “Tim Walz has said that he doesn't think that the First Amendment protects misinformation or disinformation, that the government gets to decide what kind of speech is protected.” “Kamala Harris has said the same thing; that if you promote misinformation we're going to punish you, you've abused...

Texas is now arguing in federal court that what you say on social media is “commercial speech,” a category the courts have long treated as less protected under the First Amendment. If that argument wins, the government gets far more room to regulate who can speak online and under what conditions. Harrison sees exactly what’s at stake. “The First Amendment is critically important, and I will oppose, and I’m going to continue to oppose, anything that that looks like it’s going to impede the First Amendment freedoms of the hundreds of thousands of Texans that I am honored to represent,” he said, noting that the founders protected speech precisely because unpopular speech is the kind that needs protecting. And the “commercial speech” framing collapses on contact with how people actually use these platforms. Social media is where Americans contact their representatives, organize politically, and challenge official narratives. It is the town square, and Harrison is living proof of what happens there. “If it were not for social media platforms like X, there’s no chance I would have been able to force through, you know, even probably half of the conservative policies that I’ve been able to force through in the Texas government,” he admitted, describing a legislature “run by a rather liberal coalition of fake Republicans and Democrats.” His method has been simple: bypass the establishment media, go “around the power broker elite in the Texas government by going directly to the people.” “It’s those types of tools in 2026 that are empowering the citizenry to stand up against tyrannical big government progressive Marxist initiatives by those in power,” he said. That is the citizen engagement these laws put at risk. Which raises the obvious question: if this isn’t really about protecting kids, what is it about?

Jim Jordan Rips Ketanji Brown Jackson's Concern about the First Amendment: "Hamstringing the Government" Rep. Jim Jordan: "She said you've got the First Amendment 'hamstringing the government.' Well, that's what it's supposed to do, for goodness sake. It was literally one of the craziest things I've ever seen that you could have a Supreme Court Justice say that in the oral argument made no sense to me. That is frightening. because if she really believes that, that is scary where we are heading. Understand what took place here. This was censorship by surrogate. This was big government telling big tech to take down speech that they disagreed with, and it was the most fundamental kind of speech. It was political speech." Rep. Dan Bishop: "Do we want to have a situation in which the government, the FBI, and other agencies are constantly trying to walk a line? How far can they go to keep perfectly legal, protected speech off of public platforms? I just don't think the government ever has a valid interest in doing that." Rep. Jim Jordan: "They [federal government] were pressuring and going after speech that was true, that turned out to be accurate, and yet they were trying to take it down... The White House sends an email to Twitter saying take down this tweet ASAP. And guess what the tweet was. RFK Jr. saying Hank Aaron took the vaccine and passed away. Two true statements. They wanted to take him down, and by the way, who was that individual? The guy running against them in the primary election. That is as scary as it gets. Let's hope the court reaches the right decision." Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson is concerned that the First Amendment is "hamstringing the government."
