CBS paid the president of the United States millions in bribe money and now they censor news reports so it does not annoy him. I don’t know how much plainer we can put this.

With investors demanding money, Lancaster County businessman Daryl Heller, now under FBI scrutiny, sold a Cessna airplane, liquidated a business and transferred a property to his son. He even eluded a private eye. New from me: @lancasteronline.bsky.social

We're recapitulating the core failure of the Trump era - what I would call the democracy externality. No one wants to pay the cost of opposition. Since 2015 and especially since January 6, people have treated Trump as someone else's problem. And the harms to liberal democracy continue to accumulate.
I did not anticipate how quickly people would move to comply with Trump. Makes it much easier for an aspiring authoritarian when so many potential obstacles are removed preemptively - billionaires bend the knee, Meta changes its policies, Wray resigns, Barr resigns, DOJ drops the cases against Trump
✔️ Money to the Trump inaugural
✔️ Dinner at Mar-a-Lago
✔️ Getting rid of fact-checking
✔️ Putting UFC's Dana White (a key Trump ally) on Meta's board
Hard not to see these moves as an effort to avoid being politically targeted by an illiberal president.
