Exactly why the Ellisons are completely unfit to own Warner and CNN — even with all their wealth, what a bunch of acquiescent stooges. They are uninterested in making journalism better or a better business, but happy to make it better for Trump.

Affinity Partners, the private equity firm led by Jared Kushner, is part of Paramount’s hostile takeover bid for Warner Bros Discovery (WBD), per a regulatory filing. Paramount is telling WBD shareholders it has a smoother path to regulatory approval than Netflix, & Kushner’s involvement ⬇️

Winnipeg to backtrack on rules protecting birds in new construction. Window strikes kill 40 million birds in Canada annually, a billion+ across North America. The price of preventing this? Basically rounding errors on construction costs. But hey. Affordability. 😡 #Birds 🪶

The United States Government is not a trustable ally for any nation that isn’t a fascist dictatorship. The whole world sees that clearly. No deal, no partnership, no alliance is worth the paper it’s written on. That’s just the way it is, at least until Trump and every one of his enablers are gone.
Russian state tv is propagandizing this idea all over the place:
“Perhaps Russia and the United States will decide the fate of Europe without it. This is a very possible prospect”

I swore an oath to the Constitution in 1986. I've upheld it through 25 years of service and every day since I retired.
If Trump's trying to intimidate me, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to our country to be silenced by bullies who care more about power than the Constitution.

(📢) What Trump did today was not a SHOULD impeach, it was a MUST impeach.
He said anyone who challenges his authority—an authority he doesn’t have—to give illegal orders to the military must be executed.
That is a prima facie case for impeachment.
