This is precisely the kind of government coercion that the First Amendment was designed to prevent — and media companies need to start standing up rather than capitulating to it.

Another Tennessee community is dealing with the same developers who are part of the Christian nationalist effort in Jackson County. MONDAY on @NC5 at 6PM, we travel to that county to investigate.

So… this was supposed to be about Paul Revere’s ride, but the Senator just unloaded about the Trump administration and its Republican enablers. Far more newsworthy than I expected. (You can probably see me shifting to “crap, this was not the interview I prepped!” but the result was memorable.)

At Tuesday’s speech Trump declared that he was saving the US auto industry. But between his tariffs and threats to repeal EV tax credits, US auto stocks have gone down, not up.

Mark Warner on Fox: "I may disagree with the president, but I respect the office of the president. I'm probably not gonna be jumping up applauding a lot, but I owe him his due as president. The president has made great, great progress on border crossings. That's something we ought to celebrate."

The idea that @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and @schumer.senate.gov would sit and give an audience and legitimacy to fascism is appalling. Dem leadership are sitting on their hands while America is dismantled and younger reps are screaming for action on behalf of The People.

Trump posts a fake Time magazine cover with a crown on his head and a headline calling himself a king, while falsely attacking President Zelensky—who is courageously fighting for his country’s survival—as a dictator. This is sick and disgusting rejection of basic human values.

UPDATE: It’s 6:30 pm ET on Monday, February 17 and DOGE has updated the “Savings” page on its site.
The site’s “Wall of Receipts” includes a “subset” of contract and lease cancellations.
(I guess they meant to say “some receipts coming over the long weekend.”)
