The CEO Appointed By Trump Said Otherwise.A Freedom 250 spokeswoman rejected artists' claims that the concert series coming to D.C. next month to commemorate America's 250th anniversary is political — despite the organization's private-public partnership with President Donald Trump."It is inherently non-political, it is a celebration of our country," Freedom 250 spokeswoman Julia Friedman told The Hill on Friday.The framing contradicts the words of Freedom 250's own CEO, who was appointed in December by Trump to lead the organization and in a statement said he was grateful for the opportunity to "execute the president's vision."Pressed again on potentially partisan elements of the concert series, and asked why several artists who backed out of the event claimed they were misled, Friedman declined to describe the "negotiations" made with performers who were initially announced as participating."I don't think there's anything partisan about America being around for 250 years," Friedman said. "We have a history, obviously, but we have a president that wants to celebrate 250 years of America, and that's exactly what we're doing, and that's how it was sold to performers."Boebert Defends Trump Calling Her Dumb, Saying It’s ‘Part Of the D.C. Nature’Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) defended President Donald Trump calling her weak-minded and dumb, telling a local Colorado reporter that she thinks his criticism is “part of the D.C. nature” and she’s still going to support him, even with him threatening to campaign against her.“President Trump called you dumb. If one of my friends called me dumb, that would bother me. Did it bother you?” 9News reporter Kyle Clark asked her in an interview that aired Thursday.“Oh, did he use ‘dumb’?” Boebert responded, after first saying the insult was “low IQ.”“Well, he could have thrown in there that I only have a GED and that would have been OK and completely factual. But I’m still going to continue to support him, and the promises he and I have both made on campaign trails to ensure that we both keep those promises,” she said. Asked why she and other Republicans are “willing to take so much abuse from him,” Boebert waved it off as typical political banter.“Interesting. I don’t see it as abuse. I think it’s part of the D.C. nature,” she answered.Boebert recently drew fire from Trump after campaigning for Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky, whom Trump opposed. After Massie’s defeat in the GOP primary this month, she made it known that her allegiance still stands with Trump.“My friend & Co-Chair gave his all in Kentucky! Trump is my President! Jesus is Lord!” she posted on social media after Trump said it would be his “honor” to endorse someone other than her.NEW: Rep.

ABC Condemns FCC License Renewal Demands As Attack On Free SpeechABC on Thursday issued a scathing condemnation of demands made by President Donald Trump's FCC regarding license renewals for the network's local television stations.“This effort to suppress speech under the guise of bureaucratic process must not prevail,” ABC wrote in a filing to the agency. The FCC had previously asked the network to submit early license renewals for eight stations it owns, claiming that the company needed to do so as part of a federal investigation into its diversity, equity and inclusion practices. Originally, those licenses would have been up for renewal between 2028 and 2031, The Associated Press reported. In its Thursday filing, ABC argued that the “unconstitutional” request was made as an act of intimidation. “Its true purpose and inescapable effect are to suppress speech – to ramp up toward possible license revocation and cause the Station and others to think twice before they say something the government might dislike,” ABC wrote.The license renewal request marks the latest effort by the FCC to target ABC. Previously, FCC Chair Brendan Carr threatened the company over comments that late-night host Jimmy Kimmel made about Republicans’ response to Charlie Kirk’s killing. The agency has also opened an investigation into the ABC program "The View" over whether it violated an "equal time" rule regarding on-air appearances by political candidates. Carr claimed in a statement to The New York Times that ABC's "responses to the agency’s investigation had been disingenuous, deficient and improper" prior to the renewal requests. ABC said it provided the agency with the materials it asked for in its investigation. The FCC did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Read more from Deadline: See All Updates
