An “investigation” from a federal government agency that wants you gone merely for your political slant is basically a death sentence.

>A federal judge granted an injunction on Friday blocking the Federal Trade Commission’s investigation of Media Matters, saying the inquiry violated the free speech rights of the liberal watchdog group, which had published research critical of Elon Musk and his social media platform, X.
