Neither Netflix nor the Paramount/Trump/Saudi Arabia group should own Warner Bros. Both deals are absurd - terrible for consumers and democracy.
This is a story about corruption - Trump using government power to screw consumers and gain control of the media. A red alert moment.

Well, at last! Congress is planning to withhold some of the regime’s allowance! Take that “power of the purse strings” out for a spin.

This grift that orangeman has with extracting money for pardons has to be shutdown. This scandal deserves a Congressional hearing/investigation - at least. We are blowing up supposed "drug boats" and pardoning the drug ring leaders. Follow the money and bust the big boys.
The pardons Trump is handing out are a huge, growing scandal that not enough people are talking about. This is a money making operation - for for Trump, his family, his crypto pals, and the Trump-affiliated lobbyists and grifters who the pardon seekers pay.

Martin has since been released, thanks to public outcry, as well as union & legal representation. But this shouldn’t have happened at all. Filming ICE is not a crime ✊

A sad irony in Washington, D.C., where West Virginia National Guardsmen were shot today. Six days ago, a court ruled their deployment was illegal, but stayed the order pending appeal. My heart goes out to these public servants and their families. oag.dc.gov/sites/defaul...

Thank you to the first responders who subdued the suspect that shot two National Guard members earlier today. It’s an awful thing for a family to learn a loved one was shot while receiving mixed reports of their well being.
