Trump donor Larry Ellison’s Oracle will oversee TikTok’s algorithm.
His media company owns CBS News and is plotting a bid for Warner Bros., which owns CNN.
When billionaires take control of communication platforms, it’s not a win for free speech. It’s a win for oligarchy.

Former Rep. Billy Long has been confirmed as the new head of the IRS.
While in Congress, Long tried to abolish the agency.
He's one of many Republicans who wants the IRS to lose capacity so that the rich can get away with paying fewer taxes.

Anyone want to argue with this?
Trump has threatened Putin with additional sanctions on 4 separate occasions while doing nothing. Meanwhile, Putin refuses to sign a cease-fire or even show up for peace negotiations. Xi laughs at Trump’s weakness on trade, Putin laughs at Trump weakness in diplomacy.

If Fox news and the right-wing community would say that it is ok (besides being strictly unconstitutional) if Biden or Obama did this, well..... But we all know they would lose their minds. Two-faced hypocrites.
Donald Trump's memecoin is the equivalent of posting his Venmo on the internet.
Corruption in it's most obvious form. We need accountability.

Imagine telling a soldier—fresh from war—that democracy collapsed
not from bombs,
but from apathy.
From silence.
From people who couldn’t be bothered to vote.
Would you still look them in the eye?

Tyrants view educated citizens as their greatest enemy.
Slaveholders stopped the enslaved from learning to read. Nazis burned books. Dictators censor media.
That’s why Trump is attacking education, science, museums, and the arts – to prevent us from learning.
It's Fascism 101.

Wonderful article (not behind a paywall, another reason I contribute to ProPublica) with a little bit of relevant history (I love that too). Some would call it "fake news", others would call it knowledge.
Actually President Trump, some humans do know why we passed an income tax.
It was a 40-year struggle — and a weird accident.
