OAN: They control thought on social media. Would that be the biggest concern and threat to our democracy?
Congressman Gooden: When you look back at big monopolies of the past, Standard Oil & the Railroads. The U.S. Government broke those up 100 years ago, and that was a totally different scenario. Things are much worse today, because they weren't controlling thought. They weren't controlling speech.
If Donald Trump can't even speak to the American people because Twitter and Facebook say he can't, then is that a company that espouses American values? I don't think so. And so my goal is for these bills to continue to get support from Republicans and Democrats.

Also in Washington: Republicans Fight Back As President Biden Goes After Gun Rights
The Biden-Harris Administration promised to go after our gun rights, and they are following through. This week, I joined Congressman Richard Hudson (R-NC) and over 140 of my Republican colleagues in a letter urging the U.S. Attorney General and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives to withdraw their proposed guidance to ban stabilizing braces. Such guidance could make millions of law-abiding citizens felons overnight and would disproportionately affect our disabled veterans. Read the full letter here.
My Vote to End Forever Wars and Restore the Constitutional Authority of Congress
Yesterday, the House of Representatives passed a bill to repeal the 2002 Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF). The AUMF has been abused by forever war advocates in Washington to extend U.S. military engagement in the Middle East without congressional approval.
The War in Iraq ended years ago. It's past time to end our obsession with forever wars and bring our troops home.
