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?

"We’ve never had a president who used the WH as a real-time venture capital accelerator for his family. In Trump’s first term, his children at least pretended that they weren’t trying to profit off the presidency. This time around, they’re selling Trump-branded crypto tokens." β€” @lizdye.bsky.social

Trump's golf has cost taxpayers $262 million across both terms at his own courses, funneling your money into his business. Meanwhile, the New Yorker tallied $4.05 BILLION in Presidential profiteering. He promised he'd never golf as President. He's spent 23% of his second term at the club.

Kash Patel’s use of jet delayed FBI team’s mass shooting response, whistleblower tells top senator Sen. Richard Durbin says FBI director’s β€œmisplaced priorities” led to the delayed response to the Brown University shooting in December.

Breaking MS NOW:

Agents with the FBI's elite evidence response team were delayed in reaching the scene of a mass shooting at Brown U. in December because there was no FBI plane available.

Kash Patel was in south Florida at the time with one of the FBI's two available jets.

Trump is about to start a war he hasn't bothered to explain It's not even clear he knows why he wants to bomb Iran.

New in PN: Trump is about to start a war he hasn't bothered to explain

"He’s about to write a new chapter in the ignominious history of presidents thinking they impose their will by dropping bombs on foreign countries, yet he himself doesn’t seem to know why, let alone how it’s supposed to end."

β€œLift Every Voice and Sing,” also known as the Black National Anthem, was written & composed by James Weldon Johnson, a key figure of the Harlem Renaissance.

In 1954, Edward R. Murrow reminded us that disagreeing with those in power isn’t the same as being disloyal. He warned against letting fear take over & replacing evidence with accusations.

This is a call to courage. Freedom doesn’t protect itself.

WHISTLEBLOWER: ICE cut almost half it's training program, specifically the parts about the Constitution, the US legal system, use of force, proper arrest and detention, and WEAPONS TRAINING.

THAT is why US citizens are being murdered and agents are dropping their guns.

Of course, the irony of Trump’s post about us needing to send a β€œhospital boat” to Greenland was that it only emphasized the point that we, in fact, do not have any hospital ships in service right now that are available, while Greenlanders have free universal health care.

BoBo, β€œbeing Christian is an important part of being truly American.”

Talarico, β€œAmerica is not a Christian nation, it is a nation that you’re free to be a Christian.”

I can’t believe my district voted for BoBo. She is an idiot. Can’t wait to vote her out.
