"The sooner David Ellison takes over that network, the better."
The Defense Secretary calling for a billionaire ally of the government to take over a media outlet & make it more pro-government. This is what authoritarianism looks like. But in other countries they try & hide it.
Us too.
They're gonna make him smoke the whole pack
Pushing and advancing to do what?!?
How the Roberts Court destroyed our Democracy
"Five presidential elections ago, before the Supreme Court’s 2010 ruling that lifted many remaining campaign finance restrictions, the share of billionaire spending was almost zero — 0.3 percent, to be precise."

I can't even find the words to express how repugnant and despicable this post is.
People who spew such Islamophobic bile don't belong in the United States Congress. The job of elected officials is to combat hate, not fan its flames. (1/2)
The FAA Administrator made a point of being in flight at midnight of December 31, 1999 / January 1, 2000, to project confidence that the agency had adequately dealt with Y2K problems.
This feels like the least the current cabinet could do ...
They’re doing a lot of things besides protecting and serving

Donald Trump is surprised at how poorly the Iran War is going — but the news media is covering all of this uncertainty and sham-handedness as if it’s all part and parcel of a normal conflict. Every article needs to start leading with: Trump is lost at sea.

“It gets at the core of the ever-stronger fusion between extremist right-wing Christianity and the Republican Party, an renewed institutionalization of white nationalism and male supremacy as the doctrine of an entire party, and given a theocratic bent.” www.liberalcurrents.com/right-wing-a...
but what are they going to do with all the “mass deportation now” signs? www.axios.com/2026/03/10/w...
"We started a war of aggression for no reason & commenced it by accidentally bombing an elementary school & killing over 100 kids."
That simple fact is so horrific that it's just kind of bouncing on the surface of our collective consciousness. We can't absorb its full implications & significance.
The notion that Arabs and Muslims are more bound to the strictest dictates of Islam than white people are to those of Christianity or Judaism reflects a belief in these people as primitive and superstitious, which is … wait for it… racist.
lmao why is the NASA administrator going on Fox and railing against Iran?
(this is a rhetorical question -- the answer is that nobody in the Trump administration has actual job duties)
Very excited that we're somehow getting another day of discourse out of The Florsheim Affair, one of the most delightful stories of this awful last year and change. Keep on clompin' boys! defector.com/report-presi...
Trump allies are quietly buying up the information space.
They own most social media platforms and will soon own a massive chunk of traditional television networks.
Handing the entire public discourse over to a few partisan billionaires is incredibly dangerous
We’ve never, ever had this before. A President completely untethered to truth. I mean completely untethered to truth. That’s such a bad thing. But you know what’s even worse? Way, way too many people don’t care. And way too much of the media no longer cares.
National Shame.
Emergency release cyanide capsule in a false tooth in case you’re trapped behind enemy lines?
Americans also want a meaningful opposition party. Please resign from leadership so we can build one!
I worry about how preserving U.S. democracy may require the denial of mutual toleration to the GOP as presently constituted — a withdrawal of any presumption of democratic legitimacy from people who vocally oppose democracy itself. (See, e.g., Amend. XIV, §3's remedies here.)
Mostly, though: oy.
Who could possibly have foreseen that war on Iran would (a) make Iran retaliate by closing the strait of Hormuz, which (b) could disrupt world oil markets, enriching Russia and penalizing most everyone else?
Who, indeed, except EVERYONE WHO HAS EVER THOUGHT FOR ONE MINUTE about the situation.
tariffs happening for no reason and theyre making your life worse, secret police kidnapping people for no reason and making your life worse, firing thousands of government employees for no reason and making your life worse, going to war with iran for no reason and making your life worse
Your regular reminder that normal, mainstream, pro-democracy political parties do not make restricting suffrage the central pillar of their policy platform
That’s more than half the annual budget of the National Science Foundation.
Do Jarrod Saltalamacchia’s knees still work?
leaders like trump are why sun tzu had to write a bunch of advice like "don't write your enemy a letter detailing what tactics you really don't want them to do"
