CBS News is convulsing as Larry Ellison tries to please Trump | Margaret Sullivan Recent incidents involving Anderson Cooper and Stephen Colbert suggest things are not well at the network after the acquisition financed by Trump supporter Larry Ellison

Sharp media analysis from @sulliview.bsky.social — these underlying political-economic relationships explain so much of what’s driving today’s constant media failures.

DHS says it's suspending TSA PreCheck and Global Entry due to shutdown The rare move will result in longer lines, likely frustrating many travelers.

Of course, this puts more of a burden, not less of one, on TSA and CBP personnel. abcnews.com/US/dhs-suspe...

U.S. Secret Service says its agents shot and killed an armed man who was seen “unlawfully entering the secure perimeter at Mar-a-Lago early this morning”

The centrist surrender caucus will memory-hole this, but there was a time roughly a year ago when there was a brewing conventional wisdom that Trump’s opponents shouldn’t stand up to him on immigration, specifically.

Trump lost his strongest issue the moment it was elevated to public discourse.

Imagine if HEALTHCARE WAS FREE in America, as it is in Greenland. Just imagine. 🇺🇸🇬🇱

Here’s an ugly truth. When a President sends men and women to war, they have decided to spend American lives to buy things; to buy objectives, outcomes, results. This president will be willing to trade the currency of human life…for something as worthless as his ego. We will see that soon.

Trump says he’s sending a hospital boat to Greenland | CNN Politics President Donald Trump said Saturday that he is sending a hospital boat to Greenland, the Arctic island and Danish territory he has sought to acquire.

I wonder how uninsured Americans feel about the US sending a hospital ship to a country with free healthcare and 5 hospitals. 5 hospitals may not sound like much, but their entire population is 56,740.

We’re moving from one phase of illegal, erratic trade policy — to a new phase of illegal, erratic trade policy.

Meanwhile, President Donny Dipshit wants us to burn more coal, gas, and oil to please his monetary masters.

Coyote: Th' fuck he doin'?

I just want to live in a country where the leader can’t enrich themselves with our tax dollars, the government does what the people want, and the wealthy have to follow the laws.

You know, like a democracy.

But, for MAGA, anyone on their side is ok no matter what crimes, abuses, and acts of treason they commit.

Put this one in the lack of self-awareness hall of fame

Four years ago, Putin launched his brutal invasion of sovereign and democratic Ukraine. The resistance of the people of Ukraine has been an example and inspiration for free people everywhere.

Слава Україні! Glory to Ukraine!

Republicans: It shouldn't be up to the courts to decide how we run the country.
Also Republicans: If you want your money back it's nothing to do with us, ask the courts.

That's clearly a Trump impersonator who called into C-SPAN, please stop sharing the clip as if it's actually him.

There's more than enough real material to work with here.

The thing about Bill Cassidy is that he knew what he was doing when he voted for RFK Jr. and in so doing he violated his oath as a doctor, which he also knew

And
away
we
go.

By the time he’s done, I’ll bet that at least a quarter of the national debt will just be money he stole.

Right on cue.

The Trump Administration will never accept its responsibility for anything bad it does to the American people. Worse yet, they will gaslight and lie to you about what the "real" problem is.

Bari Weiss turns Stormfront for story ideas. Our information infrastructure is toast.

fuck yes

Don't forget that Minnesota is still under hostile occupation by the Trump regime.

Innocent people are still being locked up like animals, just like when Nazi Germany rounded up Jews.

Notice Trump doesn’t even have a picture of a real boat.

In sum: Trump pushed and Congress approved a revenue bill that sawed Lincoln Tunnel-sized holes in the income tax with no replacement because of <<magic>> (tariffs they never approved), the imposition of which combined with a general belligerence nuked our relationships with our closet allies.

Trump said, let me find the the most corrupt fool among my real estate cronies in NY and put him in charge of negotiating an end to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

I can answer this one. The president of the United States is dangerously psychotic and no one in his political party will say it, nor will 95% of American media.

Vaguely recall the GOP screaming about academic freedom and that universities were "banning" the teaching of certain topics.

Surely, they're speaking out about this. Right?
