A Nazi owns Twitter, right wing billionaires own the Wall Street Journal and the LA Times, and CBS is run by a right wing nepo baby who just fired one of the network’s biggest stars for criticizing Donald Trump. Here’s why America has a left-wing media bias problem.

The corruption is bad enough
But the larger problem is, when you privatize government services, companies might seek to maximize profits-even if it means citizens are underserved
Because their mandate to stockholders is to make money
And if that happens in an emergency situation, people will die

The downsizing of the National Weather Service and the NOAA appears to be part of an effort to privatize the work of such agencies.
In several instances, the companies poised to step into the void have deep ties to people tapped by Trump to run weather-related agencies. apnews.com/article/trum...

Last week, @rhodesben.bsky.social and I did a Munk Debates against Kevin Roberts and Kellyanne Conway on whether Trump is leading America into a new golden age.
We won. This is from my closing statement.
There’s nothing golden about a movement that bathes in gratuitous cruelty.

"The tragically bad news, however, is that it is not just a suicide pact. It is a murder-suicide pact. It may end Republican careers, but it will also end tens of thousands of American lives. Many more will suffer."
No other developed nation in the world would tolerate the monstrosity that is the GOP's Murder-Suicide Pact with America. It's time to face the fact that virtually every other leading democracy on the planet serves their people better than we do here. My latest. www.thedailybeast.com/trumps-big-b...
Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ Should Doom the GOP. But It Will Doom Many Americans Too
Trump and the GOP will celebrate its likely passage with a pyrotechnic display of lies, to help them “justify” more tax cuts and other benefits for the rich and powerful.

President Trump’s special envoy did not employ his own interpreter during three meetings with Russian President Putin, opting instead to rely on translators from the Kremlin, a U.S official and two Western officials tell NBC News.
Trump envoy relied on Kremlin interpreter in meetings with Putin to end war in Ukraine
Using the Kremlin’s interpreter was “a very bad idea” that put Witkoff “at a real disadvantage,” Michael McFaul, a former U.S. ambassador to Russia, told NBC News.

Having now watched the footage and interview two of the members who were there, the amount of armed, masked federal agents surrounding three members of Congress and a mayor outside the ICE facility was totally unnecessary; the only possible reason for it was intentional escalation and intimidation.
