Trump says it would be "hard" to give money to NYC if Mamdani is elected, bristles at Cuomo's "crazy" claim about sending in tanks.

In a way, I find the authoritarian takeover of our media system even more disturbing than the authoritarian takeover of our political system.
Our political system has been failing basically my entire adult life. But, the media system provided accountability and sort of worked. Now it’s collapsing.

“In Israel, Leaking Evidence of Rape Is a Bigger Scandal Than Raping a Palestinian”
According to Israel and its supporters, the scandal is not the vile sexual assault depicted in a leaked video last year – it’s that someone released the tape, writes Minnah Arshad for Zeteo:

#Reagan was our worst (& dumbest) president before #Trump came along. However Repugs and some Dems love him. He also destroyed #California as governor. His CA policies started the #homeless & #mentalhealth crises that still exist. It took a Canadian ad guy to find his #Tariffs speech.-
So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube.
Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X).
