We just won Missouri v. Biden. As Missouri's Attorney General, I sued the Biden regime for brazenly colluding with Big Tech to silence Missouri families — censoring the truth about COVID, the Hunter Biden laptop, the open border, and the 2020 election. They tried to turn [image]

Huzzah! The consent decree in Missouri v. Biden is a historic victory for free speech in the US. Though I had to switch to the government side in the case after I became NIH director, I've never been more pleased by “losing” in my life. A huge win for all Americans.

In 2023, Missouri sued Biden's admin for colluding with Big Tech to censor speech. I signed Missouri's amicus brief. We won! @CDCgov, @Surgeon_General, & @CISAgov can no longer deplatform First Amendment-protected speech. Congrats to @SenEricSchmitt for leading the fight! [image]

What a mess. The district court wrote a piece of fan fiction in favor of the plaintiffs. It was a performance piece — issued on the Fourth of July, when courts are closed. It was riddled with errors — even fabricated quotes. Schmitt lost at the Supreme Court, which gave us, [imag…

Government jawboning is wrong — whether the pressure is coming from a Republican administration or a Democratic one. While this settlement may provide some limited protection and is a step in the right direction, much more needs to be done to limit jawboning. Congress must pass […
