“I am somebody” shaped how millions of us saw ourselves as kids, including me. That message mattered. It still does.

Reminder that Paramount Skydance needs approval from Trump's minions to buy Warner Bros.

Yesterday, its subsidiary CBS banned Stephen Colbert from airing an interview with TX Democrat James Talarico.

Larry Ellison is sucking up to Trump by turning his media empire into MAGA propaganda.

Someone tell Bari about the Streisand effect
Colbert posted the interview online. I do wonder if CBS and the FCC are aware of the Streisand effect? The interview has been up for 8 hours and has just over half a million views.

This is the interview Donald Trump didn’t want you to see.

His FCC refused to air my interview with Stephen Colbert.

Trump is worried we’re about to flip Texas.

In Massachusetts, Moderna is pulling back on vaccine studies. In Texas, a small company canceled plans to build a factory that would have created new jobs manufacturing a technology used in vaccines. In San Diego, another manufacturing company laid off workers.

Donald Trump is a threat to democracy around the world.

My first, second, and third acts as your next congressman will be to impeach Trump, impeach his cabinet, and codify guardrails to defend our democracy.

“Truly, whoever can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.” -Voltaire
Ossoff: "Among today's false prophets are the election deniers who indulge this president's obsession with overturning the 2020 election. Hear me when I say this -- they tell a lie so absurd, and therefore so debasing, that the act of telling it proves the teller's total and humiliating submission."

Nope. Forgotten by tomorrow.

The acting director of ICE told Congress, under oath, that local law enforcement in Colorado leaked raid plans, allowing gang members to escape.

After 9NEWS questioned ICE's claim and its timeline, ICE deleted the claim from its social media platforms.

A former Democratic colleague of hers once told me that Susan Collins is “usually there when you don’t need her and never there when you actually do.” The moderate brand she projects is entirely performative. It’s always surprised me that Maine voters don’t seem to care.
Thirty years of concern. Never enough courage.

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage.

The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.”

It’s about control.

Donald Trump calls Democrats "corrupt and deranged." He calls Democrats "demented and evil." A master of projection, Trump has defined himself again.

Rep. Jason Crow on Rubio's Munich speech: "Not only did he say things I found disturbing, what was also important was what he did not say. He never mentioned Russia once. He never mentioned China once. There was historically revisionism."

Rubio just made a speech to the European defense community in Munich that did not mention Ukraine. Or democracy. Or US business deals with Russia. Or the administration's plans to support the European far right. But there were lots of nice words about our common civilization.
