Trump's Agenda: Ban Books. Ban Porn. Silence the Loyal Opposition.

Trump is at it again. Faced with falling poll numbers — which hurt his fragile ego — he’s desperately trying to silence anyone who opposes his cruel policies and gross incompetence.

Whether it’s ICE violently holding a young girl’s face to the ground as her mother was arrested in Massachusetts or progressive streamer Hasan Piker being detained by border agents after aggressively criticizing Trump, the message from his regime is clear: Dissent will not be tolerated. And it also can be prosecuted.

While Trump has fired the head of the Library of Congress, his MAGA allies keep trying to ban books. And Republican Sen. Mike Lee is determined to carry out one of Project 2025’s goals: Banning porn.

The reason Trump keeps deploying these authoritarian tactics of censorship and brute force is simple: He’s afraid.
