Happy Fourth of July!We have something special for you today, on this 249th anniversary of America's birth: an audio version of the remarkable piece that my friend Judge J. Michael Luttig wrote for Telos News this week: “The Self-Evident Truths of Freedom—and of Tyranny.”The response to Judge Luttig’s piece has been incredible, and I asked him to record it in his own voice so that it could be shared even more widely.Many American families read the Declaration of Independence aloud on this day, and

The Telos News Podcast with Ryan Lizza ·

2025/06/10

FCC Commissioner Anna Gomez is a rare voice inside the Trump administration. For one, she’s actually speaking out against Trump’s abuses of power. Stranger still is that the Democratic appointee hasn’t been fired. (She explains why in our conversation.)From her perch at the Federal Communications Commission, she has seen up close how the agency is being used for political purposes to attack Trump’s critics in the media. But during our interview, she also spoke about a wider set of abuses:I have been
