Why should anyone believe that Pam Bondi will lead a fair review of the Warner Bros. merger when her ex-lobbying firm was hired by both Netflix and Paramount?
The merger review process under Donald Trump is already a hotbed of corruption.
AG Bondi must recuse herself now.

I'm told that HHS has just terminated all funding agreements with the American Academy of Pediatrics.
Here's a letter HHS sent canceling one of the grants, relating to work on birth defects. Canceled because the project "emphasizes equity, diversity, and inclusion as key foundational components"

There's a group of people determined to believe that Trump is a non-interventionist at heart, and no amount of evidence to the contrary will persuade them otherwise.

AOC: “President Trump ran on a promise to the American people that ICE would go after the worst of the worst — What we have seen is that ICE is not overwhelmingly going after criminals — In fact, over 70% of people currently detained in detention facilities do not have a criminal record”

Trump's attempts to create a "new reality" in the WH remind me of the 1983 movie, Twilight Zone: The Movie, seg #3
In it, a young boy with unbridled powers creates a retributive cartoon world where everyone must obey, one where he retaliates w/vengeful punishment.
It's so on the nose, it's scary.

Like many others I was probably formed by Rob Reiner’s movies more than I realized. I met him once and was struck by the practical efforts he made to translate his powerful understanding of people and how they relate to one another into a more durable and kinder form of democratic politics. (1/2)
