WOW: “During a visit to Washington in recent days, David Ellison offered assurances to Trump administration officials that if he bought Warner he’d make sweeping changes to CNN" Ellison oligarch promises to make CNN into another version of Fox News. We live in an oligarchy thanks to corrupt SCOTUS

Schatz: They’re stopping wind and solar because this guy has some very strange ideas about the energy mix. And it’s consistent with the rest of his political and economic philosophy — if there’s less of everything, it gives him more authority to dole out favors

Trump sold Americans a 'fantasy' — and it’s now unraveling
In the 2024 election, the fact that Donald Trump's hardcore MAGA base aggressively supported him came as no surprise.

Those that think we will eliminate waste and fraud by firing 300,000 federal workers in a single year are confused and ill-informed.
Our government is simply weakened for the fascist takeover coming. Some say it’s already happened.
