Where’s the CBS News town hall focused on the Democrats assassinated in Minnesota?
Bari Weiss has a CBS town hall set with Erika Kirk, widow of Charlie Kirk.

If you want to attend, you're asked a series of questions on an online form.

The first question is: “Do you consider yourself a conservative? If so, why?”

71 million views. Another brilliant PR move by the outstanding WH comms team. They owned the libs again by attacking and demeaning Sabrina just because she asked them not to steal her music for one of their sick deportation videos. Thanks for the new voters.

Hmm. Ghislaine Maxwell is filing a habeas petition challenging her incarceration PRO SE (no lawyers). I guess even David Markus has his limits? Incidentally, she's worried that the release of the Epstein files would be devastating to her case.

“Elon Musk’s charitable foundation grew larger than ever in 2024. But, for the fourth year in a row, the huge charity failed to give away the minimum amount required by law — and the donations it did make went largely to charities closely tied to Mr. Musk himself.”

This administration can’t pretend it cares about anti-trust only when it helps allies.

If Netflix is too big to own Warner Bros, then so is Paramount/Skydance.
The Orban playbook: use the regulatory powers of the state to ensure media is owned by your allies who turn it into propaganda for the regime.

Here’s Trump intervening to help his ally Ellison’s bid for Warner Bros (and CNN).

JUST IN: Pop star Sabrina Carpenter has fired back at the Trump administration after the official White House account used her song over footage of federal agents chasing down immigrants.

Matt Gaetz, James O’Keefe, and Laura Loomer have replaced the Pentagon press corps.

I am not kidding. Look at the thread below.

One of the military’s most critical lines of accountability is now a closed-circuit conspiracy carousel.

This is insane, but a fun side note: former Overstock CEO and Maria Butina honeypot victim Patrick Byrne as been MIA (after his lawyer was arrested) in a defamation suit brought against him by Hunter Biden. A judge found him in default and Biden has filed a $33.3M default judgement request.

It's the opposite of "the buck stops here". He is selling out Admiral Bradley and sending chills down the spines of his chain of command, who now know their boss will sell them out if he is taking heat. A case study in how not to lead.
