Union Pacific wants Trump's regulators to approve its $72B buyout of Norfolk Southern — a mega-deal that would stifle competition, raise costs, and hurt workers.
Union Pacific is also among the corporate donors to Trump's ballroom.
Gee, I wonder why?

It is not about Kimmel or what he said. It is about the US government forcing a network to fire someone - no government should have that power. If the network decided this on their own, that’s one thing. But in this case they absolutely did not.

The murder of a political activist - one with whom I fiercely disagreed - is horrible. May this not lead to even more political violence.

I’m fatigued by the sheer number of people who fail to see your point. I get the appeal of the ‘big tent’ but don’t understand why Dem voters can’t see the strategic power of voting in lockstep and sorting out the nuances later. YOU GET TO MAKE ZERO POLICY IF YOU’RE NOT AT THE TABLE.
