Every western country has absurd news bias that favors the ruling classes and yet Sheinbaum, Lula, Petro, and Sanchez were able to build leftist majorities. We don't need media hegemony to win and it may even be harmful to have our every delusion verified that way.

A real opposition party would make something out of this, even if it was to proclaim that they will never issue contracts to a firm that bows and scrapes to this authoritarian regime.

Holy shit. Ro Khanna fucking did it. He just went up there and read the six redacted names into record and threw down the gauntlet, challenging conservatives to join the fight against the "Epstein Class." Did we just see our generations' "Have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last?" moment?

A smart tactic for any Democrat that wants to win federal office is to promise to try every ice and dhs official for cruel and unusual punishment
ICE officials under a judge’s order to clean up squalid conditions on the 10th floor of 26 Federal Plaza detained migrants on a secret floor where they decided that ruling didn’t apply, attorneys for the Trump administration said Monday.

ICE Moved Detainees to Previously Undisclosed Floor of 26 Federal Plaza
A federal judge ordered the Trump administration to reduce overcrowding and squalid conditions at a Manhattan holding room. Months later, he finds ICE merely shifted floors.

"50 percent of rural Americans disapprove of ICE’s handling of enforcement, while 50 percent approve

Trump is badly losing the war over ICE, not just on the streets, but also in the culture. As Bad Bunny shows, this has become a culture war unto itself. Trump-MAGA's initial hubris has been utterly deflated.

Jeffrey Epstein died on August 10th. In the Epstein files, there is what appears to be a draft DOJ press release announcing his death that is dated August 9th.
