There is no neutral reason to own this much media. Billionaires do not buy news outlets out of civic duty. They buy them to shape what gets seen, softened or buried. When stories on 60 minutes that are critical of trump vanish, stop pretending it’s coincidence. Power protects power. #Resist

James Talarico: The Bible doesn't mention abortion or gay marriage, but it goes on and on about forgiving debt, liberating the poor, and healing the sick. The closest thing we have to the kingdom of heaven is a multiracial, multicultural democracy where power is truly shared among all people

The only explanation for why Trump is willing to take such a huge political hit keeping these Epstein files hidden is bcuz he knows what’s in those files about him is really, really, really, really bad. That’s the only explanation for this massive Trump led coverup.

Today, Jack Smith testifies behind closed doors in the House Judiciary Committee about what he found.

You know why it's behind closed doors, right?

The Republicans and MAGA know what he found. They know that Jan 6th was a coup attempt. They know what Trump did with the classified documents.
...
Jack Smith wants to tell Congress about his Trump investigations. That comes with risks.
The House Judiciary Committee will question the former special counsel behind closed doors.

If the New York Times was waiting for a news hook to write a long-overdue story about how Trump is mentally unfit to be president, Trump has provided one today with his post saying Rob Reiner got murdered because he was mean to Trump.

This is madness! The “no new wars” president is taking us to war with Venezuela.

Bombing ships in the Caribbean, as an ongoing operation, without congressional authorization, crosses the line into an unconstitutional use of military force.

My jaw dropped reading this. Even in my limited experience dealing with any sort of media, I know that if you want something to be off the record, it has to be established right away. There is no going back to say it was after the fact.

This may be the most foolish lawyer that Tmurp ever hired
EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.

I glanced down at the message.

“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.

So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.

Why did Trump and Republicans shut down the government?

To force millions of Americans to pay more in taxes just to keep their health care—or lose it altogether.

All while the billionaire class keeps cashing in on Trump’s “one big, beautiful bill” that gave them trillions in permanent tax breaks.

It’s wild how many lies and coverups the Republicans are juggling right now: Epstein files, Homan’s bribe tape, Trump’s net worth, the meme coin shit, the inflation report, the jobs numbers—I could go on forever. And now they’re blaming the Dems for the shutdown, even though they run DC.

Republicans just REJECTED our attempt to keep the government funded & stop your health care costs from skyrocketing.

They have the White House, House, and Senate. They could have just kept costs stable – they refused.

Don’t let them gaslight you. This is a Republican shutdown.

Hegseth’s urgent meeting with the generals and admirals is a multimillion-dollar taxpayer-funded anti-DEI call to action stunt.

My wife and I were watching it live in bed, jaws dropped. I knew this was coming, but it’s quite something else to see and hear it live.
