Why? When companies get too big, they have the power to cut off your favorite channels.
That's what's happening here.
And what's Trump done about it? He's let them get away with it.

Hey #Disney. Please settle with #YoutubeTV. There isn't much left to watch on #ABC anymore but I'd like #ESPN back. Stop acting like such a bully. After the way you treated #Kimmel, it appears you don't care about anything other than your profit margins.

The WH budget proposes to cut the Pell grant max award by more than a fifth.
A third of all college students use Pell grants to pay for college.
This is an attack both on colleges AND on economic mobility.

The United States is the richest country in the history of the world. But who benefits from those riches?
Consider: the richest 10% of Americans hold nearly 70% of the nation’s wealth – while the bottom 50% hold just 3%.
See the problem?

The Trump regime will round you up off the street and arrest you because you spoke your mind.
And federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars who refuse to identify themselves will be the ones to do it.
It's fascism.
Call it what it is.

Musk and Trump are trying to dismantle the VA by laying off 83,000 employees.
They are sacrificing the needs of our veterans to give tax breaks to billionaires.
That is something that the American people — Republicans, Democrats, and Independents — will never support.

Elon Musk and Donald Trump’s dismantling of USAID will lead to millions of preventable deaths.
The decision of the richest person in the world to destroy an agency that delivers life-saving aid to the poorest people on the planet is unconscionable.

Today, President Donald Trump ambushed Ukraine president Volodymyr Zelensky in an attack that seemed designed to give the White House an excuse for siding with Russia in its war on Ukraine.
