Netflix Backs Out of Bid for Warner Bros., Paving Way for an Ellison Takeover

The richest man owns X.

The second and third richest men control Google.

The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.

And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.

See the problem here?

Polish PM Tusk:

If you ask people today about Brexit in the UK, the latest polls are absolutely clear — 65% of the Brits, they would vote for the EU today.

More than 80% of young people in the UK are in favor when it comes to possible membership in the EU.

Thank god. A great win for Hannah Spencer and the Greens, for #GortonAndDenton and for progressive voters. Made even greater by the huge Reform sulk. And the fact that the hateful Goodwin got whooped.
Now Labour, look to your left because you will not win from the right. We’re sick of that failure.

It is important to reiterate that all law enforcement agents must have a judicial warrant or judicial subpoena to access non-public areas of the University, including housing, classrooms, and areas requiring CUID swipe access. An administrative warrant is not sufficient. If law enforcement agents seek entry to non-public areas of the University, ask the agents to wait to enter any non-public areas until contacting Public Safety. Public Safety will contact the Office of the General Counsel to coordinate the University's response. Do not allow them to enter or accept service of a warrant or subpoena. We will update our community as additional information becomes available. Sincerely,

Republicans on the cable shows this morning

-- Suddenly talking again about need to "take" Greenland
-- Hyping importance of "strangling" Cuban government
-- Encouraging Trump to "topple" Iranian regime

The Trump movement is totally out of control. This will not end well.

Cutting off Medicaid to Minnesota is social murder.

People will die without healthcare.

People will become disabled without healthcare.

This is a policy choice meant to inflict maximum suffering.

Healthcare is a human right.

Trump Is Considering More Iran Strikes. No One Knows Precisely Why. As has become a pattern, the use of force isn’t part of a coherent plan.

“At this point, the shock would be if Trump doesn’t pull the trigger and pretty soon. He’s sent about half the currently available ships to the region…And the president and his team of ‘warriors’ are overdue for a dopamine hit of ‘lethality…’”

My guest, Aliya Rahman, stood up silently in the gallery during the president’s speech for a short period of time, part of which other guests were also standing. For that, she was forcibly removed, despite warning officers about her injured shoulders and ultimately charged with ‘Unlawful Conduct. 🧵

Trump Refuses To Let Congress See Whistleblower Complaint That Could Bring Down The White House

Blind refugee abandoned by Border Patrol dies in Buffalo. A nearly blind refugee abandoned by Border Patrol miles from his home dies in Buffalo after having been missing for nearly a week.

Here's a story about his death www.investigativepost.org/2026/02/25/b...

“This message is brought to you tonight by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, which is solely responsible for its content.”

Spare a thought for the squad of journalists who are under orders to hang around outside Sandringham this February and report anything, ANYTHING.

Reform don't want to regulate your landlord.

They don't want to regulate your employer.

But they do want to regulate your sex life.

"They have killed American citizens in our streets."

Gov. Abigail Spanberger criticizes Trump's immigration enforcement in the Democratic response to the State of the Union.

Britons decapitated Charles I over less.

Just remembering the time a Tesla owner hit a bump which breached his battery creating a back to the future moment where the car accelerated to 88 miles an hour before hitting a wall & incinerating the screaming owner. All of this was recorded by the car.

Don't let your eyes fool you; this is exactly what it looks like... a modern-day American Gestapo. The USA is an absolute disgrace of a country.

Have any networks considered not airing Trump's State of the Union address on Tuesday night because of all blatant false lies Trump will tell throughout the speech?

I assume there won't be any fact checking during the broadcast. All networks who care about the American people MUST FACT CHECK.

It says much about the state of the country.

This is somewhere between 40-50% of deployable US air power (and it’s still growing). On a scale with the Gulf Wars.

Not just Nigeria and Kenya. Senegal too.

The African continent will likely have better electricity than most of North America by 2030.

Does Nigel Farage have a problem with women? Critics link Farage’s ‘Trump-lite’ condescension to female journalists to Reform’s moves against women’s rights

Farage “wants to distract people into thinking their problems are because of women or equality and diversity policies, or immigrants. Like Trump, it shifts the discourse and that’s v dangerous”

Women must turn Farage’s problem with women into a problem for him.
