House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) sent a letter on Monday to Google parent company Alphabet after the firm failed to comply with a subpoena related to federal government officials working with technology firms to censor content.
Lawmakers asked executives at Alphabet, as well as Amazon, Apple, Meta, and Microsoft, for documents related to their alleged suppression of free speech. Jordan said that Alphabet insufficiently complied with the subpoena, which was issued on February 15 and required a return date of March 23, and redacted information in an improper manner.
“Despite explicit instructions enclosed with the subpoena to produce unredacted documents, Alphabet has frustrated the committee’s review of the responsive material by unilaterally redacting key information necessary to understand the context and content of the material,” Jordan said in the letter to Daniel Donovan, an attorney who represents Alphabet. “These redactions do not appear to be based on any applicable privilege, because Alphabet has asserted none, and the committee requires this material to be produced without redactions.”
Jordan said that Alphabet provided 4,049 pages of documents related to censorship efforts, a volume of materials that is not “appreciable” relative to the expected quantity of documents, and insisted that the materials be examined in a reading room, a requirement that “prevents and frustrates the committee’s understanding and use of those documents and fails to comply with the terms of the subpoena without the committee’s consent.”
The subpoena was largely focused on obtaining communications between executives at rival social media companies regarding the coordinated censorship of particular viewpoints. YouTube, the video-sharing platform controlled by Alphabet, most recently censored footage from Project Veritas in which an executive from Pfizer said that the company uses “directed evolution” to mutate coronaviruses and create more potent variants and vaccines.

On Monday, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed three bills aiming to counteract the influence of the Chinese Communist Party on the state.
"Florida is taking action to stand against the United States’ greatest geopolitical threat — the Chinese Communist Party," said Governor Ron DeSantis in a press release. "I’m proud to sign this legislation to stop the purchase of our farmland and land near our military bases and critical infrastructure by Chinese agents, to stop sensitive digital data from being stored in China, and to stop CCP influence in our education system from grade school to grad school. We are following through on our commitment to crack down on Communist China."

WASHINGTON — The White House press office barred The Post from attending President Biden’s only daytime public event Monday as federal prosecutors near a decision on criminally charging first son Hunter Biden for tax fraud and other crimes.
The Post has closely covered the president’s ties to his relatives’ foreign dealings and first reported in October 2020 on files from Hunter’s abandoned laptop that link Joe Biden to ventures in China and Ukraine.
Biden, who falsely characterized The Post’s reporting as Russian disinformation, appeared with Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg to talk about airline policies in the White House-adjacent Eisenhower Executive Office Building.
Biden ultimately took no shouted questions at the venue, which houses the set of a “fake” White House and about 50 theater-style seats for reporters — about 20 of which were empty Monday.
In the same room this past February, Biden chose to answer The Post’s query about whether his family’s links to China compromised his ability to steer US policy. He fumed about the lack of “polite” reporters and stormed out.
In a Monday email, White House staff informed The Post: “We are unable to accommodate your credential request to attend the Investing in Airline Accountability Remarks on 5/8. The remarks will be live-streamed and can be viewed at WH.gov. Thank you for understanding. We will let you know if a credential becomes available.”
The email does not claim that the exclusion is due to “space limitations” — an excuse that was used until recently to justify the press office’s mysterious prescreening of reporters let into large presidential events, which under past administrations were open to all journalists on White House grounds.
In June 2022, 73 journalists representing nearly two-thirds of White House briefing room seats signed a letter demanding the end of the mysterious prescreening process for events. But the unprecedented access restrictions have remained in place and press officials refuse to explain the criteria for selection to leaders of the White House Correspondents’ Association.

klaus hiding him?
you know, we keep shining the light on their evil darkness, and sooner or later, the npc's catch on
the cabal/deep state media, however, will never stray from "reporting" their propaganda that enforces their narrative
