Controversial election attorney Sidney Powell said on Wednesday that she has been "deplatformed" by Mailchimp, an email distribution service.
Powell revealed that she had lost her ability to "blast" out emails while she was appearing on Real America's Voice with host Steve Bannon.
"Mailchimp just deplatformed my law firm from blast emails from SidneyPowell.com because apparently we were talking about defending the republic," Powell explained. "They just can't stand the truth, Steve. That's all it is. They want to suppress free speech. They can't stand the truth. They are absolutely terrified of it."
Earlier this year, Powell was banned from Twitter along with other accounts that the company said were “solely dedicated to sharing QAnon content."
“We've been clear that we will take strong enforcement action on behavior that has the potential to lead to offline harm, and given the renewed potential for violence surrounding this type of behavior in the coming days, we will permanently suspend accounts that are solely dedicated to sharing QAnon content," a spokesman for Twitter told BuzzFeed at the time.

Americans stunned after Tom Cotton warns China might harvest DNA from US Olympic athletes
June 16, 2021
Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) recently faced blowback for his remarks suggesting China may collect the DNA of U.S athletes who participate in the upcoming Winter Olympics.
"In 2022, thousands of world-class athletes will gather to compete in China," The Arkansas senator said. "Their DNA will present an irresistible target for the [Chinese Communist Party]."
He added, "Thus, we should expect that the Chinese government will attempt to collect genetic samples of Olympians at the Games, perhaps disguised as testing for illegal drugs or COVID-19."
Cotton also expressed concern about the event when he spoke from the Senate floor.
Twitter users quickly sounded off and compared him to Rep. Majority Greene who has made a career for herself on the strength of baseless QAnon theories. Some noted that there was never a safety concern for previous Olympic events in China. "He realizes they drug test at the Olympics and have for years? Did he have this concern during China's last Olympics?" one Twitter user wrote.
Another user wrote, "What a complete effing more=on! Any testing going on will be handled by a medical team with chain of custody so it's known where the blood specimens are at all times! This is not a 2-bit dog & pony show!"

The Hill requested comments regarding Cotton's letter. However, the White House and U.S. State Department have not yet responded to that request.

Congressman reveals new photo from the Capitol riot after Republicans try to ‘memory hole’ the insurrection
June 16, 2021
During a hearing this week, Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ) questioned FBI Director Christopher Wray over the shooting death of Ashli Babbitt, the QAnon-believing woman who stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 along with a mob of Trump supporters, saying that she was "executed."
"It's disturbing," Gosar said. "The Capitol Police officer that did that shooting appeared to be hiding, lying in wait and then gave no warning before killing her."
But Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) doesn't see it that way. Responding to Gosar's comments on Twitter, Gallego posted a photo that he took on Jan. 6, showing the mob outside the door where Babbitt was shot.
"This is what the the Capitol Police officer faced," Gallego wrote. "I took this photo minutes before the insurrectionist was shot. He was the last line of defense between us and the insurrectionists. GOP loves to say 'back the blue' but really it is only when politically convenient."

In a subsequent tweet, Gallego wrote that he took the picture "knowing the Republicans would try to memory hole the January 6th insurrection."
"Sad that I was proven right," he added.
