Oh NO!
The remaining 5000 movie theaters in America will close if Netflix buys Warner Discovery?
I'm frankly surprised that theaters are still operating when both streaming services and DVDs are cheaper than 2 movie tickets.

I Factchecked Trump’s Big Politico Interview – Because Politico Didn’t!
Interviewer Dasha Burns allowed the president to tell lie after lie, and also failed to push back on his racism. So here is a rebuttal from Zeteo.

DOJ's slow-walking of the law firm cases continues, pushing appeals well into 2026
The Trump admin has often rushed to the Supreme Court this year. In the law firm cases, though, DOJ — even though it lost below — is moving the appeals as slowly as possible.

🏛️ A MAGA-fied Supreme Court
Our highest court might be about to turn American democracy upside down, Republicans release a laughably shambolic healthcare plan, and Bari Weiss crowns the next 'mediocre' star of CBS News.

BREAKING‼️ @rephaleystevens.bsky.social files articles of impeachment against RFK Jr. for his actions as Health Secretary endangering American lives.

This is a huge victory in our fight. Take action with us! #ImpeachRFKJR #Impeachthequack

Breaking: Rep Haley Stevens files articles of impeachment against RFK Jr. with support from Stand Up for Science "RFK Jr.'s actions are negligent and will result in harm and loss of life. He must be impeached and removed,” said Colette Delawalla, Founder and CEO of Stand Up for Science. “As a scientist and a mother, I am not willing to go back to a time before robust public health interventions. For the first time in human history, we progressed from 30% of babies not making it to adulthood to over 98% surviving to adulthood because of modern medicine and vaccines. Eliminating effective public health interventions with proven track records and dismantling evidence-based science is not the way to promote health and reduce chronic illness. Stand Up For Science is ready to hold Secretary Kennedy accountable, as well as political candidates and other officeholders who are pushing a dangerous anti-science agenda.”

Whenever Trump is cornered, he deflects attention. He distracts the public from whatever is causing him problems by doing something even bigger and more outrageous.

Trump is now cornered, big time. What will he do next?
