Paramount Has a $1.5 Billion ‘South Park’ Problem The White House says the show is “fourth-rate” after it showed Trump with “tiny” genitals. The controversy comes just as the FCC has greenlit Paramount’s merger with Skydance and promised to end DEI.

Yup.

How did the poor guy mowing your lawn every two weeks become the biggest national security threat, rather than a Defense Secretary posting war plans on Signal?

"Of course, capital can do nothing without the assistance of labor. All there is of value in the world is the product of labor. The laboring man pays all the expenses. No matter whether taxes are laid on luxuries or on the necessaries of life, labor pays every cent."

Good Morning

I don’t think I’ll ever get over the fact that almost half of the country willingly voted to have tens of thousands of armed thugs terrorize people in the street.

I think we’ve reached a boiling point when it comes to ICE.

Today in Minneapolis, a militarized task force raided the beloved Lake Street taqueria, Las Cuatro Milpas—and the community was not having it.

Agents from ICE, the DEA, FBI, ATF, IRS and HHS rolled up looking like they were ready for war.

my takeaway from this feature is that in a functioning political system there would be televised congressional hearings over the fact that one of the most influential people in the white house is a total maniac www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

Shhh. Republicans are trying to repeal Obamacare again. Sort of. They’re not branding it an Obamacare repeal this time around, but congressional Republicans are pursuing cuts to programs that are part of the 15-year-old health-care law.

Here's something everybody should be paying attention to: Congressional Republicans are trying to weaken the Affordable Care Act and put millions of people at risk of losing their health care. Call your Senators and tell them we can't let that happen.

Trump posting for the deportations to begin.

The vile cruelty of this pig and the Supreme Court.

The SC cleared the way on Friday for Trump to begin mass deportations.

500K immigrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela were protected, and now the targets, plus an additional 350,000 Venezuelans.

That's nearly 1 million immigrants.

GOP Senator Doubles Down On 'We All Are Going To Die' Comment In Wild Non-Apology After her flippant reply to constituents' worries about health care and food assistance cuts, Sen. Joni Ernst followed up with a brazen video filmed in a cemetery.
