Many Murdoch narratives focus on the story of Fox News and Donald Trump, where the dumpster fire really begins to light up the modern sky. But to understand the family’s empire, we might examine the Britain that Rupert Murdoch ravaged in earlier days. newyorkermag.visitlink.me/G0v4sa
How the Murdoch Family Built an Empire—and Remade the News
Today, the name represents a story of profit and power unlike any other. But tracing the genealogy of Murdoch sleaze requires a long memory.

I don’t believe Tom Homan. I think this is a ploy to get @democrats.senate.gov to fund DHS. They lied about deescalation last week and I don’t believe a word the Cava Czar says.
Trump 'border czar' Tom Homan says 700 immigration officers will be withdrawn from Minnesota immediately.
Roughly 3,000 officers are currently deployed in the state.

Incredible. They destroyed a great newspaper because they hated the people who actually paid for it and read it so much that they'd rather scrap the paper if they couldn't get Tucker Carlson's audience bsky.app/profile/maxt...
Speaking to WaPo employees, editor Matt Murray says cuts are about “positioning ourselves to become more essential to people's lives, and what is becoming a more crowded, competitive and complicated media landscape, and after some years when, candidly, the Post has had struggles to do that."

January 6 was the worst day of my life. But the threat of Donald Trump didn’t end when the mob left the Capitol.
That’s why I’m running for Congress: to defend this country, with the full constitutional authority of Congress.
I’m Harry Dunn. And I’m ready to finish the job.
