It is absolutely wild that the guy who won’t stop yelling about law and order is now personally stepping in to keep January 6 documents hidden from the police officers who were attacked that day. He knows exactly what’s in those files and he is terrified the country will see it.

The Republican version of the ACA is the ACA and it always has been.
It's a corporate-friendly, cobbled together, cumbersome piece of legislation that bends over backwards to minimize any efficiency or government involvement.
They can't replace it because it's the best they could ever do.

When billionaire conglomerates take control of media, it’s not a win for free speech. It’s a win for oligarchy.

Neither Netflix nor the Paramount/Trump/Saudi Arabia group should own Warner Bros. Both deals are absurd - terrible for consumers and democracy.
This is a story about corruption - Trump using government power to screw consumers and gain control of the media. A red alert moment.
