Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.

Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.

Four giants control 80% of meat processing.

A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.

The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

Looks who's back? MAGA Pete Hoekstra.
Working with the Swedes on building Gripen fighter jets looks better all the time.
BTW Pete could you tell us if you have any knowledge of the $500 Mil slush fund offered to Alberta separatists?

Remember when we were all about taking down terrorists and the networks that financed them?

Now they get red carpet treatment at the White House, presidential pardons and investment opportunities with America.

Times sure have changed.

And of course, there's zero evidence of any cases of 'sterilization of children', because that's not what's happening. This is nothing but an anti-trans moral panic propagated by evil, hateful scum.
The UCP, and their supporters, are claiming that S33 needed to be used to prevent sterilization of children. But no evidence is provided about the amount of surgery occurring below 18 (puberty blockers are not the same thing as surgery). Is it 0, 5, 50, 500, 5000?

President Zelenskyy came to the White House, looking for help from his longstanding ally.

He was ambushed, humiliated and berated for not being grateful enough.

Prince Bone Saw bin 9/11 came to the White House, for the first time since he ordered the murder of Jamal Khashoggi.

He was revered.

Does Nobel have a prize for most murders of fishermen on the high seas? Because, unlike peace between Ukraine and Russia, that's something that has actually happened. Repeatedly.

It shouldn’t take nineteen clips to prove the point, but here they are anyway.

Journalist Jamal Khashoggi was ambushed by a 15 member Saudi kill squad, strangled to death, and then had his body dismembered with a bone saw.

Or as pillar of democracy and rule of law Donald Trump described today, “things happen.”

One of the Epstein survivors, Danielle Bensky, says he threatened to withhold care from her mother, who had a brain tumor, and leveraged her brain scans against her while he abused her.

Despicable.
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."
