They Suspended Kimmel – Is Free Speech Dead?

ABC has indefinitely suspended Jimmy Kimmel Live! after controversial remarks by Kimmel about the assassination of conservative figure Charlie Kirk. In response, Democrat lawmakers are pushing the “No Political Enemies (NOPE) Act” intended to protect individuals and institutions from politically‑motivated suppression. There is strong opposition by free speech groups, unions, and Democrats, with accusations that FCC pressure and regulatory overreach are being used to silence dissent.
