"The Paramount bid brings it own set of concerns because it would place CNN under the control of the billionaire Ellisons," Rep. Nadler says during today's #HouseAntitrust hearing.
"Presumably the Ellisons would similarly [to CBS News] seek to make CNN more Trump friendly."

From helping the US defend itself against al Qaeda to defending Greenland from potential US attack.
Trump flipped Denmark from close US friend to, not exactly foe, at least not yet, but something more like wary neutral party. And possibly other Europeans too.
Is that supposed to be an achievement?

Danish soldiers are under standing orders to engage any hostile activity on Greenland, including unannounced US activity.
The standing order of 1952 is confirmed to be in force by both Danish Defence Command and Ministry of Defence to news site @berlingske.bsky.social

No US oil company should risk investing in Venezuela. Companies that take part in Trump's lawless takeover of Venezuela's resources should keep in mind that any American tax dollars they take to invest in a foreign country will be recovered by the next administration.

This is correct. Trump and Republicans want to rev up the base by "putting him on the ballot." They know he'd never be removed by the Senate, even if the House impeached him every day - and that in 2019-2020, his internal polls said impeachment helped him. (1/2)
Trump is not sweating over impeachment. He is using the possibility of impeachment to motivate his base and to consolidate control over the GOP congressional caucus.

With news of yet another DHS shooting breaking, a reminder that DHS’s initial statements should not be trusted without further verification, given previous post-shooting statements which crumbled under further investigation. In addition, be wary of short context-free video clips shared virally.
"My public safety team is working to gather information on an ICE related shooting this morning" near Portland Avenue and 34th Street in Minneapolis, says Minnesota Governor Tim Walz.
"We will share information as we learn more. In the meantime, I ask folks to remain calm."
