So...

1. How much pressure was placed on the broadcast networks by FCC Chair Carr to air what turned out to be an idiotic tantrum?

2. How much of a mistake was it for the Trump regime to expose Trump's dementia/insanity to a much larger TV audience while preempting very popular programming?

"May have to be approved by Congress"

May?

Don't. Print. Lies. In. The. Newspapers.

That’s quite a peppy headline for yet another outrageous dictator move.

Warnock: He's got a lot of nerve saying that I'm using faith to divide people. This is a man who literally had protesters gassed and beaten down so he could hold up a bible in front of a church.

This Is What Presidential Panic Looks Like
Donald Trump delivered a fear-drenched rant live from the White House.

For the first time in decades, I handed my successor an air traffic controller workforce that was growing instead of shrinking.

Disturbingly, the Trump administration can't or won't say whether that’s still the case.

Maybe someone could ask the president not to post the all-clear on mass shootings before the suspect is in custody.

The Signalgate report showed that Hegseth risked American lives. Instead of taking responsibility, his sniveling responses were the worst kind of bureaucratic ass-covering.

“How billionaires took over American politics”

The concentration of wealth among the richest Americans is unlike anything in history — and so is billionaires’ influence in politics.

The USA has over 342 million people.
Only 902 billionaires.
It's when we say it's over.
