I'm Jane Costa, and this is What A Day,
the show that is thinking about New York City Mayor Eric Adams,
who once said, quote, All my haters become my waiters when I sit down at the table of success.
With his exit from the mayoral race, will those waiters lose their jobs?
On today's show,
Oregon sues the Trump administration to stop the deployment of the state's National Guard to protect federal buildings.
And Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu changes his story on what happened with those bunker busters in Iran.
But let's start with free speech.
We've been talking a lot about speech on the show lately and for good reason,
because late night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel is just the start.
Following the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk,
a wave of everyday people have been punished,
getting doxxed and even losing their jobs because of statements they made online regarding Kirk and his death.
Here's CNN from earlier this month.
These companies and organizations have reported either terminating or suspending employees for posts about Kirk.
And that includes Middle Tennessee State University firing a worker they say had,
quote, zero empathy for Kirk's death.
Conservative activists, Republican lawmakers, and even a doxing website are flagging the comments.
And what critics say is a campaign to punish those posters.
