Let me take a wild guess. Conservative billionaires own the British media, too.

No shit.
Violating the civil rights of your own citizens is kind of a big no-no.

Can someone explain how this benefits the United States? Obviously the Trumps have been taken care of.

Thank you, Judge Perry.

Old enough to remember when the press held the government accountable; when Republicans had the courage to hold their own accountable.

I knew Fox News was theater. I just didn't realize it was a repertory theater that recycles actors for different roles.

You'd think a company that had to pay $787,000,000 for deceiving its viewers would be a little more careful about blatantly continuing the practice.

I thought the targets were “narco-terrorists” not immigrants.

Mike Johnson’s abrupt closure of the House had more to do with stalling a congressional investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking operation than previously reported, and it appears to have been a direct response to the Treasury’s surrender of Epstein’s financial records.

SCOOP: Johnson closed House hours after Congress received Epstein’s financial records

The decision to shut down the House — and by extension the government — came hours after the Oversight Committee received documents from the US Treasury.

Imagine knowing – being absolutely sure – that when you die, 65 or 70% of the country and the world will celebrate your death like nothing they've ever celebrated anything before.

Pritzker: "He said he was going after the worst of the worst. It's not going after the worst of the worst when you're just literally stopping children who happen to be brown & asking them for papers as if they're gonna have proof they're a citizen. Pull out your phones and film everything you see"

The United States has had eight presidents since 1978, and only one got us added to the Human Rights Watch list. Let that sink in.
