Jared Kushner in Tel Aviv: "Instead of replicating the barbarism of the enemy, you chose to be exceptional, you chose to stand for the values that you stand for, and I couldn't be prouder to be a friend of Israel."

With Larry Ellison in control of TikTok, we now have right-wingers or looney far-right wingers in control of most of the major social media platforms.

Right-Wing Moguls Dominate Social Media. One Legal Fix Can Help Stem the Tide.

Revising Section 230 of the 1996 Communications Decency Act would make outlets more accountable for the content they platform.

"A future president, even dumber than you, will allow Qatar, the country that harbored Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the architect of the plane attacks in NY, PA, and DC today, and whose royal family will help him escape capture by the US, to build a military base on US soil to train Qataris to fly jets."

Thanks for this Jack! More people need to know what’s happening with this. Dominion and Smartmatic are the two vote tabulating machines used in U.S. federal elections. If a staunch republican company buys Dominion, guess who’s going to win every election going forward.

Trump’s "Compact for Academic Excellence in Higher Education” leverages public money to coerce schools into adopting the conservative agenda. Republicans foolishly ignore the double edged sword threat this precedent represents. A Democrat president will create havoc on conservative minds.

The deal would see universities cap foreign admissions, restrict protests and adopt a binary definition of gender.

The First Lady proudly admits she has been in contact with the Dictator running our greatest enemy, who is at war with Europe, and the media is talking about the deaths of people you never heard of.

What has happened to this country?

Melania lays bare details of private letter from Putin in surprise announcement

The first lady said Vladimir Putin had signaled a "willingness to engage with me directly" in an unexpected White House announcement.

Please spread the word to be careful and NO Violence! We have republicans doing their dog whistle to MAGA telling them it’s a “Antifa Hates America” protest. There will be people trying to agitate at these protests, don’t take the bait!

It's wild that we've reached a point where the President openly admits to firing people for political reasons, and his OMB director tweets about it like it's a victory. This is page one of the authoritarian playbook, happening in plain sight.
