Disney pulls ABC, ESPN and more from YouTube TV as talks break down Other channels that vanished from Google’s pay TV platform include the Disney Channel, FX and Nat Geo.

You might not be able to watch Monday Night Football tonight.

Why? When companies get too big, they have the power to cut off your favorite channels.

That's what's happening here.

And what's Trump done about it? He's let them get away with it.

Hey #Disney. Please settle with #YoutubeTV. There isn't much left to watch on #ABC anymore but I'd like #ESPN back. Stop acting like such a bully. After the way you treated #Kimmel, it appears you don't care about anything other than your profit margins.

Targeting the Education Department, the president again put forward a roughly $12 billion cut, seeking to eliminate dozens of programs while unveiling new changes to Pell grants, which help low-income students pay for college.

The maximum award would be capped at $5,710 for the 2026-7 award year, a decrease of more than $1,600. A spokeswoman for the Office of Management and Budget attributed the cap to a pre-existing shortfall in the program. So while it did not propose to cut spending on Pell grants, the Trump administration also opted against providing new money to sustain the student aid at its existing level.

The WH budget proposes to cut the Pell grant max award by more than a fifth.

A third of all college students use Pell grants to pay for college.

This is an attack both on colleges AND on economic mobility.

The United States is the richest country in the history of the world. But who benefits from those riches?

Consider: the richest 10% of Americans hold nearly 70% of the nation’s wealth – while the bottom 50% hold just 3%.

See the problem?

The Trump regime will round you up off the street and arrest you because you spoke your mind.

And federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars who refuse to identify themselves will be the ones to do it.

It's fascism.

Call it what it is.

Musk and Trump are trying to dismantle the VA by laying off 83,000 employees.

They are sacrificing the needs of our veterans to give tax breaks to billionaires.

That is something that the American people β€” Republicans, Democrats, and Independents β€” will never support.

If you live in NC, call every Republican politician you know. Call every farmer you know and ask them to do the same

When money walks , voters talk. Make sure they know this effects everyone in their town and state

Elon Musk and Donald Trump’s dismantling of USAID will lead to millions of preventable deaths.

The decision of the richest person in the world to destroy an agency that delivers life-saving aid to the poorest people on the planet is unconscionable.

As of today, a new term has entered our language. A β€œrubio” is a spineless lump of nothing. Example: Don’t be such a rubio.

February 28, 2025 Today, President Donald Trump ambushed Ukraine president Volodymyr Zelensky in an attack that seemed designed to give the White House an excuse for siding with Russia in its war on Ukraine.

Next Tuesday, we won’t waste a second in responding to Trump’s steam of lies at the State of the Union.

I’m not attending in person. Instead I’m partnering w @moveon.org to provide live real time response. Join us to learn the truth about the billionaire seizure of our government.
