If refusing to comment is enough to kill a story, then the government now has veto power over journalism.
That’s what CBS normalized last night — and it should scare everyone.

Pulling a finished investigation because the administration refused to comment isn’t journalism. It’s submission.

I am furious that DOJ ignored the new federal law requiring release of the Epstein Files. I am equally angry that so many in legacy media seem not to care.

Khanna: Congress is talking about possible impeachment. They're talking about inherent contempt for the attorney general or deputy attorney general—any justice department official who has obstructed justice could face prosecution in this administration or a future administration.

Yet another recorded Trump phone call. The man who claims elections were rigged against him is the actual "rigger".
NYT: “In a newly obtained recording of a phone call from late 2020, President Trump can be heard pressing the speaker of the Georgia House of Representatives to hold a special legislative session to overturn Mr. Trump’s election loss.”

I have a question for Constitutional scholars.

If power to declare war is reserved to Congress, and...

A naval blockade around a nation is an act of war, and...

#ConvictedFelonTrump placed a naval blockade on Venezuela...

There was no Congressional approval...

Did he just commit a High Crime ?

The Affordability Hoax….
Energy bills have increased 13% since Trump took office.

Families have paid an extra $1,200 on goods this year because of his tariffs.

Popular holiday gifts are 26% more expensive this year compared to 2024.

Remember this as Trump calls affordability a "hoax" and a "con job."

218 members signed the discharge petition to force a vote to extend ACA tax credits.

If Speaker Johnson refuses to bring forth the vote, he’s telling the American people loud and clear that rising health care costs are acceptable to him.

BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed a bill that would subject immigrant children to invasive bodily searches and keep them in detention instead of releasing them to their families.

The Senate must vote no on this horrific bill.

We need more candidates who recognize and address this basic fact.... that investing in connective public transportation, both local and statewide means everyone can access jobs, education, health care and more.
We need real public transit that connects our communities and expands opportunity for everyone. And when we build that transit, we need to ensure it's built by union workers earning good wages and benefits.

Let’s hope the shift continues and that Massie and Greene are not the only (R)s with the guts to be vocal about the depravity of the goddamn U.S. President real soon.

Measles didn’t make a comeback on its own.

This is RFK Jr’s anti-vax movement and his disinformation campaign. And equally as disturbing, some people are perfectly fine with this outcome.

There hasn’t been enough appreciation for how thoroughly BENNIE THOMPSON humiliated FBI official GLASHEEN after he tried to sell the lie that ANTIFA is the top domestic terror threat.

The claim collapsed because it’s a cover.
