Washington Examiner senior writer Joe Concha rejected on Monday Olympic skier Hunter Hess’s criticism of the United States. On Sunday, Hess said his representation of the U.S. in the Olympics “brings up mixed emotions” amid current events. He added that wearing the U.S. flag “doesn’t mean I represent everything that’s going on in the U.S,” according to CBS News. This prompted President Donald Trump to call him “a real loser,” saying Hess said he “doesn’t represent his Country.” Hess has since issued a statement on Instagram, reiterating that while he loves his country, “there are always things that could be better.” He said the benefit of living in the U.S. is being free “to point that out.” Conchas said Hess’s initial comments are “a classic example” of there being “a time and place for everything.” “Hess has the right to speak out, but it is a privilege to be on that Olympic stage, so if he doesn’t appreciate that, maybe hand in your Olympic uniform, go back home to Oregon, in this case, and march with Antifa,” Concha said on Fox Business’s Varney & Co., guest-hosted by Ashley Webster. Concha then cited statistics that only 40% of Generation Z are proud to be U.S. residents compared to 85% of baby boomers. He said this is a “big, big problem” for young U.S. residents when “they’re the most privileged, entitled generation that we could ever imagine.” VANCE AND RUBIO GET 2028 PRESIDENTIAL TICKET EXPOSURE IN MILAN FOR OLYMPICS Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) supported Hess after Trump’s statement against him, saying “no one is required to bow down” to the president. He added that Hess is “a proud American.” Fellow U.S. Olympian Chloe Kim said she was “so happy that so many Olympians are not hesitant to speak out for what they believe in” regarding Hess’s comments. She added, “We need to lead with love and compassion.”

We are calling on technology companies like Meta and Google to stand up for their users by resisting the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) lawless administrative subpoenas for user data.  In the past year, DHS has consistently targeted people engaged in First Amendment activity. Among other things, the agency has issued subpoenas to technology companies to unmask or locate people who have documented ICE's activities in their community, criticized the government, or attended protests.    These subpoenas are unlawful, and the government knowns it. When a handful of users challenged a few of them in court with the help of ACLU affiliates in Northern California and Pennsylvania, DHS withdrew them rather than waiting for a decision.  These subpoenas are unlawful, and the government knowns it. But it is difficult for the average user to fight back on their own. Quashing a subpoena is a fast-moving process that requires lawyers and resources. Not everyone can afford a lawyer on a moment’s notice, and non-profits and pro-bono attorneys have already been stretched to near capacity during the Trump administration.    That is why we, joined by the ACLU of Northern California, have asked several large tech platforms to do more to protect their users, including:   Insist on court intervention and an order before complying with a DHS subpoena, because the agency has already proved that its legal process is often unlawful and unconstitutional;   Give users as much notice as possible when they are the target of a subpoena, so the user can seek help. While many companies have already made this promise, there are high-profile examples of it not happening—ultimately stripping users of their day in court;   Resist gag orders that would prevent companies from notifying their users that they are a target of a subpoena.   We sent the letter to Amazon, Apple, Discord, Google, Meta, Microsoft, Reddit, SNAP, TikTok, and X.    Recipients are not legally compelled to comply with administrative subpoenas absent a court order   An administrative subpoena is an investigative tool available to federal agencies like DHS. Many times, these are sent to technology companies to obtain user data. A subpoena cannot be used to obtain the content of communications, but they have been used to try and obtain some basic subscriber information like name, address, IP address, length of service, and session times.   Unlike a search warrant, an administrative subpoena is not approved by a judge. If a technology company refuses to comply, an agency’s only recourse is to drop it or go to court and try to convince a judge that the request is lawful. That is what we are asking companies to do—simply require court intervention and not obey in advance.  It is unclear how many administrative subpoenas DHS has issued in the past year. Subpoenas can come from many places—including civil courts, grand juries, criminal trials, and administrative agencies like DHS. Altogether, Google received 28,622 and Meta received 14,520 subpoenas in the first half of 2025, according to their transparency reports. The numbers are not broken out by type.    DHS is abusing its authority to issue subpoenas  In the past year, DHS has used these subpoenas to target protected speech. The following are just a few of the known examples.  On April 1, 2025, DHS sent a subpoena to Google in an attempt to locate a Cornell PhD student in the United States on a student visa. The student was likely targeted because of his brief attendance at a protest the year before. Google complied with the subpoena without giving the student an opportunity to challenge it. While Google promises to give users prior notice, it sometimes breaks that promise to avoid delay. This must stop.    In September 2025, DHS sent a subpoena and summons to Meta to try to unmask anonymous users behind Instagram accounts that tracked ICE activity in communities in California and Pennsylvania. The users—with the help of the ACLU and its state affiliates— challenged the subpoenas in court, and DHS withdrew the subpoenas before a court could make a ruling. In the Pennsylvania case, DHS tried to use legal authority that its own inspector general had already criticized in a lengthy report.   In October 2025, DHS sent Google a subpoena demanding information about a retiree who criticized the agency’s policies. The retiree had sent an email asking the agency to use common sense and decency in a high-profile asylum case. In a shocking turn, federal agents later appeared on that person’s doorstep. The ACLU is currently challenging the subpoena.   Read the full letter here
