As I work through these individual lines of questioning, there is some really good stuff in here.
I'm so confused about why this is a partisan issue. The mechanisms and tooling that allowed DHS and Twitter to suppress speech can be used against liberals and conservatives alike. It can be used to push both liberal and conservative agendas.
We don't have to turn everything into a left vs right issue. There are certain ideas that should be above the fray. I would think that restricting law enforcement from covertly working with media to form the common narrative would be one such ideal that we could all agree on.
