Free speech advocates are sounding the alarm about a bill in the US House of Representatives that they fear could allow Secretary of State Marco Rubio to strip US citizens of their passports based purely on political speech.

The bill, introduced by Rep. Brian Mast (R-Fla.), will come up for a hearing on Wednesday.

    “Free speech absolutists”, everyone.

    I’m sure Musk and other people that were outraged over things like Hunter’s hard drive, oops, I mean “laptop” and social media/news outlets will be all over this, right? The people that were parroting mindless talking points about Confederates being “shadow banned” on a private platform.

    Right?
