Freedom of the Press is irrelevant if fascist billionaires control all of our media.

It is absolutely wild that the guy who wonโ€™t stop yelling about law and order is now personally stepping in to keep January 6 documents hidden from the police officers who were attacked that day. He knows exactly whatโ€™s in those files and he is terrified the country will see it.

Campaign to put gerrymandered Missouri map on the ballot turns in 300,000 signatures โ€ข Missouri Independent Roughly 300,000 signatures demanding Missouriโ€™s gerrymandered congressional map be placed on the 2026 ballot were submitted.

Just in: Missouri organizers have turned in โ‰ˆ300,000 signatures to block the GOP's new gerrymander there.

That's an impressive haul in the very compressed window they had. They need roughly 110,000 signatures to succeed, though the GOP will now throw everything it has to disqualify them.

This is a perfect example as to why we need AI regulation yesterday.

AI cannot be the arbiter of whether human beings can live or die. This is an excuse for insurance companies to fire human workers and make our healthcare system even more nightmarish for a quick buck.

Wealth inequality is eating this country alive. Concentrated wealth is already endangering our democracy. Wealth doesnโ€™t just beget more wealthโ€‰โ€”โ€‰it begets more power.

Itโ€™s a vicious cycle that destroys our economy and democracy at the same time.

Trump Frees Fraudster Just Days Into Seven-Year Prison Sentence

He scammed over 1,000 people, most of whom were not wealthy - veterans, farmers, teachers, nurses, small businesses owners. Some lost everything. But heโ€™s a rich Republican, so Trump let him get away with it. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/29/u...

Reporters who fact-check Trump to his face are not โ€œstupidโ€, they are not โ€œpiggiesโ€, and they are not โ€œuglyโ€. They are doing their jobs, and doing it under pressure most of us will never experience.

We should be grateful for their service. I appreciate their courage now more than ever.

Remarkable: Rep Chrissy Houlahan, one of the Dems that Trump called for executing, tells me her office literally filled out a Capitol Police threat report that listed "the president" as the person making the threat.
