A strong, independent media is essential in a free society. However, the oligarch controlled media is not going to protect us. The billionaires sitting on stage with Trump are not victims. They will profit from his lies and cannot be trusted to safeguard democracy.

Donald Trump wants to prevent the release of Jack Smith’s report, even though special counsel reports that serves his purposes were released. The lawyers making the ask are headed to Trump’s DOJ. Nothing here is normal.

House Republicans have been ordered to shut down the government.
And hurt the working class Americans they claim to support.
You break the bipartisan agreement, you own the consequences that follow.

The Musk-Johnson government shutdown bill has been soundly defeated.
MAGA extremists in the House GOP are not serious about helping working class Americans.
They are simply doing the bidding of their wealthy donors and puppeteers.
Unacceptable.

Republicans are so accustomed to whining from the minority that when they’re actually in the majority and still can’t manage to pass a bill, their automatic reflex is to blame the Democrats.
Republicans wanted the majority. They got it. Learn how to fucking govern.

ABC (Disney), Washington Post (Bezos), Meta (Zuckerberg), LA Times (Soon-Shiong)... all bending the knee to Trump, all obeying in advance, all sucking up to the Dictator-in-Waiting.
This is (part of) how democracies die. This is the Orban, Putin, Netanyahu and Modi playbooks.

Kash Patel may have spent some time at DOJ, but that doesn't mean he's qualified to run the FBI. Trump isn't looking for qualified, he's looking for personal loyalty & he's found it--a dangerous quality in a nominee. Patel must be rejected by the Senate. joycevance.substack.com/p/the-new-ma...
The New Matt Gaetz
It’s tempting to look at Trump’s announcement that he will appoint Kash Patel to be director of the FBI as just another attempt at trolling.

Hi Blueskyers. I run the organization @protectdemocracy.org which aims to do just that.
Over the past decade we’ve won countless cases to protect voters and truth, helped pass legislation, and unfortunately predicted much of what’s happened.
Follow and repost so we can keep doing that here.
