WSJ: "Bongino has told colleagues that his association with the administration’s decision to keep the files private has eroded his credibility among the base of support that fueled his rise as a successful podcaster and media personality." That's what you want your deputy…
The U.S. is attacking Europe over free speech, saying its regulation of online platforms amounts to “Orwellian” censorship. In a social media post, the State Department said thousands of people are being convicted for criticizing their own governments.
