MEMORANDUM FOR THE HEADS OF EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENTS AND AGENCIES
The Federal Government has a constitutional duty and a moral responsibility to respect and promote the free speech rights of Americans. Yet in recent years, elitist leaders in Government have unlawfully censored speech and weaponized their undeserved influence to silence perceived political opponents and advance their preferred, and often erroneous, narrative about significant matters of public debate. These disgraceful actions have taken the form of coercive threats against the private sector — including major social media platforms — to suppress conservative or dissenting voices and distort public opinion. Much of this censorship took place during a Presidential election with the apparent purpose of undermining the free exchange of ideas and debate.

The Defense Department is taking significant steps to reinstate service members who were discharged due to the now-rescinded COVID-19 vaccine mandate.
During a press briefing yesterday, Tim Dill, performing the duties of the deputy undersecretary of defense for personnel and readiness, outlined the department's plan and commitment to inviting back service members who involuntarily separated and those who voluntarily left service due to the mandate. The plan aligns with President Donald J. Trump's executive order and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's guidance.
The initiative stems from a recognition that the vaccine mandate, enacted in August 2021 and repealed by Congress in 2022, ended the careers of over 8,700 service members.
