Jeffrey Bezos is destroying the Washington Post for the same reason Musk destroyed Twitter and Ellison is destroying CBS—oligarchs oppose the free press when if it threatens their wealth and power.
They don’t want normal people to see what is happening in America.

A federal judge blocked the Trump admin’s attempt to yet again shut down Empire Wind 1.
But Burgum and Hegseth are still stonewalling Congress and waving around secret “national security risks” they won’t explain.
At stake are 4K jobs and 500K homes powered by wind.
I’m doubling down for answers:

Her vehicle's right front panel cleared the ICE agent who didn't open fire until after he was at the side of her vehicle. He used deadly force on a fleeing individual, which is against DHS policy. This is murder. He needs to be arrested.

Millions of Americans remain at jobs they hate for one reason: the health insurance they receive. That’s absurd.
Universal health care will give Americans the freedom to choose the work they want without worrying about health care coverage.
Another reason for Medicare for All.

I am struggling to square today's order with the Supreme Court's ruling that migrants targeted for removal to El Salvador under the Alien Enemies Act must be afforded meaningful due process. Why shouldn't these migrants, who face banishment to countries they've never stepped foot in, get the same?

Open investigations into every congressional member who participated in inside trading yesterday. Trump may have immunity from crime, but they don't. Bring them all in.
