The House Judiciary Subcommittee on the Weaponization of Federal Government is holding a hearing to examine federal government-sanctioned internet suppression and attacks on journalists and media outlets. The hearing will feature testimony from Matt Taibbi, Twitter Files journalist and author; Michael Shellenberger, Twitter Files journalist, author, and environmentalist; Rupa Subramanya, Canada-based journalist for The Free Press; and Olivia Troye, former Homeland Security Advisor and Counterterrorism Advisor, Office of Vice President Pence. For years The Gateway Pundit has been one of the main targets of the government’s censorship complex. Today, The Gateway Pundit is the lead plaintiff in the Missouri-Louisiana v....

The U.S. government has filed an emergency stay request to lift a recent injunction issued by a federal judge forbidding the government from violating Americans’ First Amendment rights by colluding with social media companies to censor their constitutionally protected speech. In the emergency stay, the government contended that the injunction was vague and that the attorney generals could not show harm from the censorship, an argument that Judge Terry Doughty had rejected multiple times in the past. “Defendants respectfully request that the Court stay its July 4 preliminary injunction pending Defendant’s appeal of that order,” the government argued. “The Government...

“There is no time in history where the people who were censoring speech were the good guys,” Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. told Breitbart News Sunday host Joel Pollak. Pollak asked Kennedy about his championing of free speech over big tech censorship. This is a topic for which the bestselling author, environmental lawyer, and child health advocate has firsthand experience. During the COVID-19 pandemic, many of Kennedy’s social media posts questioning the wisdom of the lockdowns were labeled “misinformation.”

A former MSNBC host is dishing on how she was prohibited from speaking unfavorably about former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton before she ran for president in 2016 without approval from the network’s president. Ex-MSNBC host Krystal Ball is exposing the Left-wing network’s efforts to censor and sway a story to appeal to viewers they want to brainwash. Ball claimed that the cable news staff are “reliable purveyors of whatever it is that that network wants to purvey.”During an interview on Joe Rogan’s podcast, “The Joe Rogan Experience,” she recalled one of her 2014 monologues where she criticized Clinton, urging...

This is insanity. This video was labeled as "age restricted" .

Former Democratic presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard lambasted Google for directly interfering with American elections, and warned that Americans should be fully aware of the extent of tech giant’s meddling. “People need to know how much power a monopoly like Google has on directly influencing and interfering in our elections,” Gabbard said during an appearance Wednesday on retired Navy SEAL Jocko Willink’s Jocko Podcast. Gabbard spoke about how her campaign set up Google AdSense accounts in the early days of her presidential run in 2019 to prominently promote her campaign website in search results. She said she was the most searched...

The White House dismissed Monday new information released by Twitter regarding corporate decisions during the 2020 election to censor stories and posts about President Joe Biden’s son Hunter. “That is full of old news, if you think about it,” White House press secretary Karine Jean Pierre said during the daily briefing, when asked for the White House’s reaction to the new information unveiled by Twitter’s new CEO Elon Musk.

After Twitter CEO Elon Musk teased a massive reveal Friday afternoon, journalist Matt Taibbi released a Twitter thread revealing the confusion at the social media company after it censored the New York Post’s Hunter Biden laptop story in the lead-up to the 2020 presidential election. Taibbi’s Twitter thread, which Musk retweeted, revealed that Twitter’s top executives didn’t have a good explanation for censoring the story, but stuck with the decision, anyway. It also showed that Republican and Democratic congressional staff weighed in against the move. Taibbi recounted that Twitter took “extraordinary steps” to suppress the Post’s Oct. 14, 2020, story...

Joy Behar told her co-hosts Tuesday on ABC’s “The View” that if the Republicans got into power, they would start “censoring journalists.” Whoopi Goldberg said, “This is part of the big plan to control what happens in America, I believe, what happens in America. if you take those voting rights away, people are going to be so angry, but there will be nothing they can do about it because we’re in charge. Next thing comes the women. We’re going to take your rights away just like we have taken X, Y, and Z because there will be nothing you can...

Imagine if China or Russia did this. An Orange Vest demonstrator in Australia claims Facebook is deliberately preventing activists from livestreaming protests. Melbourne has been rocked with unrest all week after a construction workers union demanded that all employees get the mandatory jab or face losing their jobs.

Nearly three weeks after the American elections, Americans and the world in general, are still none-the-wiser; not knowing who really won and if the votes have all been legitimate or otherwise. And the man who is supposedly trying to make America respectable again, yes, Joe Biden, started his ‘tenure’ ironically by presenting his own disrespect by breaking the law and declaring himself as ‘president elect’ and establishing an illegal entity in the name of the ‘Office of President-Elect’. There are serious accusations that allege that dead people have voted, that boxes of late illegal ballots (all voting for Biden) suddenly...

The reaction by old-time liberal civil liberties institutions to Big Tech monopolies censoring conservatives has been, "Faster, Please." That's because they've become lefty facades with zero interests in their own founding missions. Here's the Knight First Amendment Institute. “This order is an effort to intimidate technology companies from using tools that are indispensable to protecting the integrity of public discourse online,” Jameel Jaffer, executive director at the Knight First Amendment Institute at Columbia University, said in a statement. Parts of Trump’s proposed order “raise additional constitutional concerns, since they seem to contemplate that the government will investigate and punish internet...

Facebook blocked more people from seeing posts about 4th of July fireworks in Greece, N.Y. Why? Politics and Russia. Greece Town Supervisor Bill Reilich says he was trying to inform as many people as possible about the free 4th of July events in the town. When he boosted the posts, he says Facebook blocked them because Facebook said they were political. Reilich posted the events on his official supervisor Facebook page where he is listed as a "government official." When he tried to pay Facebook $90 to boost the posts, so more people could see them, he says Facebook said...

Eastern Europeans have a saying: we’ve just got out communism, after 45 years of Hell, only to discover that the West is marching (this time benevolently) into the same hellhole we’ve just managed to escape from. And this is not a joke either. The West’s essential institutions are pathologically corrupted by cultural Marxism, which is just another word for communist infiltration. The Church, the higher learning institutions, the mass media, the corporate culture, the body politics, everything leans heavily on the left nowadays both in the United States and in Western Europe. And anyone who’s to the right of Mao...

Google was thrown into turmoil last night after the company fired James Damore, author of a manifesto defending viewpoint diversity and a fact-based approach to the alleged gender gap in tech. In exclusive interviews with Breitbart News, more Google employees are now speaking out in support of the manifesto. Damore’s ten-page manifesto, which was met by an immediate backlash, described a climate of fear, in which employees who challenge prevailing leftist narratives at the company are faced with immediate threats to their career. Damore’s own experience appears to confirm this. Breitbart News is exclusively publishing a series of interviews with current and...

MSN has removed the comments section on every story they have posted on their homepage. Increasingly every story about Trump was generating huge amounts of support for Trump and rejection of the leftist propaganda. The obvious progressive ghost-bot accounts tried hard to fight back, but they were clearly losing. Today they pulled the plug on all comments. When you go to the comment section after any story, you see the following message. "MSN has temporarily removed commenting on our websites while we explore better ways for you to engage in discussion on the issues you care about."

A Freep needed – I have the D.C. Switchboard on my phone. For YEARS I have called and a volunteer will answer and ask me who I want to be connected to. I do not only call my U.S. Representative or Senator, I call them all. I just called to speak to Nancy Pelosi who came to Texas and called us cowards for obeying the rule of law (on illegals and Sanctuary cities). Well, now the switchboard automated asks press 1 for Senator and 2 for Representative. If you press 2 for Representative then you must enter your zip code...

I just watched an interview of Robert David Steele with RT. Of course, those of you familiar with Steele know he is an ex-CIA agent and author of great recognition. I have no doubt he is legitimate and sincere. I further believe he was no stooge to allow himself to be set up; therefore, he has maintained his reputation and dignity. This video interview is another one of shocking revelations and predictions that are warnings most of all to President Trump and to the American people. My summary is as follows: 1. Again Steele pushes President Trump to realign his...

After a year of Facebook scandals for bias in its trending “News Feed” against conservatives, CEO Mark Zuckerberg is now being attacked by the Left for allowing negative stories to appear that supposedly cost Democrat Hillary Clinton the presidency. The Left is spitting mad that Donald Trump won the presidency. Rather than accept the vote of the people, progressives are lashing out at Facebook for not doing enough to stop the proliferation of what they call “fake news” about Hillary Clinton regarding Benghazi, handling of emails and the probability of her being indicted by the FBI. Lashing out against...

As technology continues to rapidly advance, we have a responsibility to ensure that our laws are keeping pace with these developments,” Judiciary Chairman Bob Goodlatte said in a statement. Since...
