Trump’s allies are weaponizing the courts and government agencies to silence their critics—and the progressive media accountability watchdog Media Matters for America is directly in the crosshairs.

After Media Matters exposed how ads for major brands were appearing next to hate speech on Elon Musk’s platform X, Trump-aligned forces demanded revenge. Now the Federal Trade Commission—under pressure from Musk and right-wing operatives—is investigating Media Matters in a blatant act of political retribution.

This is an abuse of power, plain and simple. It’s a warning shot to every journalist, watchdog, and nonprofit: speak out, and you could be next. We can’t let them get away with it.

Tell the FTC: “Stop the witch hunt against Media Matters for America. Don’t turn the FTC into a weapon against political dissent.”

The FTC is supposed to serve all of us. But if it becomes a tool for billionaires and political insiders, no one who tells the truth about the powerful will be safe. That’s why Media Matters is fighting back in court—and why we must raise our voices now.

Public outrage can stop this. If enough of us demand the FTC drop this retaliatory probe, we can protect not just one organization, but the right to hold power accountable.

Sign now to tell the FTC to drop the investigation into Media Matters and stop being a pawn for Trump and Musk.
