Comedians have historically faced censorship, but the FCC's attempt to abuse its power to take Jimmy Kimmel off the air stands out as a blatant and dangerous attack on our First Amendment rights.

INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND Petitioner Chanthila Souvannarath ("Petitioner" or "Mr. Souvannarath"), through his undersigned attorneys, asks this Court to enforce its October 23, 2025 Temporary Restraining Order. ECF No. 4. The Order stated that: "Respondents, their officers, agents, servants, employees, attorneys, and other persons acting on their behalf are immediately prohibited from removing Petitioner Chanthila Souvannarath from the United States and from transferring him out of the jurisdiction of this Court." Id. (emphasis added). That decision was premised on the fact that Mr. Souvannarath had made out a substantial claim to United States citizenship'-and yet, despite this Court's unequivocal order and Respondent's knowledge that Petitioner had a claim to United States citizenship, Mr. Souvannarath was unlawfully removed from this Court's jurisdiction and the United States of America. Mr. Souvannarath accordingly respectfully requests his repatriation so that he can return to his family and continue to raise his three children.
NEW: ACLU of Louisiana asks a federal judge to order the govt to immediately return Chanthila (Shawn) Souvannarath from Laos, to which it deported him over the weekend in violation of the judge's injunction. @acluoflouisiana.bsky.social www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

Here's the full radio address from Reagan in 1987. 
He talks a little about how he needs to impose tariffs on semiconductors from Japan but it's clear he's singling them out as something that should be rarely used.
The Reagan Foundation suggesting they might sue over the ad is hilarious.
Hereβs the original clip of Ronald Reagan from April 25, 1987, where he delivered a complete and total rebuke against tariffs. Trump's calling Reaganβs words here βFAKEβ and βfraudulent.β Theyβre 100% real. And the original clip is actually far worse for Trump, as much is left out of the ad:
