Here I react to the shameful encounter between American leaders and media and the Ukrainian president. No doubt there were more, but I saw five failures on our side: of hospitality, decency, democracy, strategy, and independence. Please watch and share.

Good. It’s horrific how other platforms abused their reach to strangle local, independent, and national outlets alike.
I WANT to see news and actual vetted work and I WANT journalists to get rewarded for it.

What is ‘waste’ for those now being appointed cabinet positions? ‘Waste’ is anything that benefits people who actually need the resources.
Comer: Not just divisions and agencies that need to be eliminated but cabinet level entities that need to be eliminated.

She’s absolutely right.
Crockett: That is the type of life that they want us to have in this country is one in which even if you are mediocre, even if you are unqualified but you are white, that will be enough.

Again, this.
They have their own TV channels, personalities, media. They deride fact checking and (well) moderated debate. They buy social media platforms to manipulate algorithms and amplify content that suits their preferred ends and worldview.
What they are threatened by are places of alignment + organizing
