There is no "Left of Center Main Stream Media".
The need for profit (read: clicks and advertisements) to create a "Left of Center" network stifles it's ability to explore "Leftist" positions, and will ultimately result in the network to drift back to the right.

JOHNSON: No. It's scheduling

NN: But there have been Rs sworn in during pro forma sessions

MJ: Only reason was bc they flew in their family

NN: So if she flies in her family you'd do it?

MJ: Again, it's a distraction

Gallego: You don't want her to be on the Epstein discharge.

Johnson: You guys are experts at red herrings.

Gallego: This is an excuse

Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."

Woman threatens to call ICE on car wash—over $54 vacuum charge.

"Give me my money before I call Donald Trump," she yells. "He's gonna clear this place out!"

"They look like they're here illegally—Washington D.C. is gonna hear from me!"

Car washes have been a main target of ICE raids.

I can’t believe I have to say this, but historically, masked men who kidnap families in the middle of the night are usually not the good guys.

"This is supposed to be an oversight hearing" -- Schiff helpfully ticks through all of the incriminating questions -- and there are many of them -- that Bondi refused to answer during today's hearing

Sen. Adam Schiff @schiff.senate.gov · 8h

Today, Senator Kaine and I will force the Senate to vote on the administration’s decision to blow up ships in the Caribbean.

If a president can unilaterally put people or groups on a list and kill them, there is no meaningful limit to his use of force.
