Why are billionaires buying up media outlets?
As a media mogul, you can effectively hedge against democracy by suppressing criticism of yourself and other plutocrats and discouraging any attempt to tax away your wealth.

Housing especially for limited income & 1st time buyers is important in ALL states but many of the "blue states" are old established and built up states. Red states like #Texas just build Xurbs where new houses for young families are 40 miles from downtown #dallas & the land is cheap and plentiful
Um, this is a pretty legit and important news story.
Blue states are increasingly hostile to young families, especially on housing. That's a serious and urgent problem we need to fix.

and i hope it gets worse as his grip slips and slides
Trump's being undone by his insistence on pliant stooges may be our only hope for surviving this without too much permanent damage.
Trump's prosecutions of Comey and Letitia James fell apart precisely because he ousted career prosecutors who insisted on following facts and law. His installation of a pliant stooge is what blew up in his face.

He should have to resign for simply putting Kelly's rank in quotations like he didn't attain and deserve them in a real country the secretary of war would resign the same day as he spoke to a true military hero, pilot and astronaut senators like this. #Hegsethmustresign
When you draw a platoon leader like Hegseth, it’s your worst nightmare. You just ride it out until he’s gone and gets replaced by someone who isn’t a complete jackass. Only a fool like Trump would put one of them in charge of the entire defense department.

We were a big scouting family in early 90s both sons are Eagle scouts & i think they wrote letters to vets ( in Va hospitals) and active military I would NOT have let my sons use "Warrior" they are soldiers (Army), marines (Marine Corps), sailors (Navy), airmen (Air Force), guardsmen (Coast Guard)
Perhaps this helps explain why, when my son’s den was writing letters to thank soldiers for their service (as they do every year), it was recommended that the messages begin “Dear Warrior.” www.npr.org/2025/11/25/n...

Ok #birdsky,
Any idea what type of bird this is? His body is the size of two golf balls. Tail is approximately 4 inches long.

Hey Boycott where are you? Arkansas ?
‘Tis the season to visit your local craft shows for some fantastic homemade gifts. I’ve been to 2 so far this month- senior center & high school- and I’m looking forward to another one on Sunday. Just remember to bring cash and save them money on fees. #SupportLocal #BoycottAmazon
Remember cash?
I admit it's been a while since I used cash because I've been earning miles for travel and credit card fees are built into the price of everything.
Today's a great day to find your local ATM - less of those too for a reason. Reduce transaction fees for retailers.

You just fall over craftshows & markets in #NWA #Arkansas so there is no reason to buy some junk at a big box ( if you insist on adult presents. We haven't done it in 25 years) you can buy beautiful homemade items or art work. The folks up here are amazingly talented. Do it small business Saturday
