CNN will soon be controlled by David Ellison. If democracy is to survive, a vibrant independent media ecosystem is critical.
My ask: cancel your Paramount/Warner subscriptions and sign up for as many pro-democracy outlets as you are able.
You can start with Democracy Docket: bit.ly/4qmEiFz
After DEMANDING that Hillary Clinton's testimony on the Epstein scandal be held behind closed doors, and even threatening her with contempt for her insistence that reporters be allowed in, the GOP has been sending out photos and info to far-right influencers.
Hypocrisy is the GOP brand.

Canada is the first non-European country to be granted membership in SAFE. This is unlocking new export markets abroad for producers across Canadaβs defence industry and better equipping our military with the resources they need.

What problem is Trump's new global 10% tariff meant to solve?
