Nexstar, the largest owner of local TV stations, buying Tegna would create a media giant reaching 80% of TV households. The deal could raise prices, drive layoffs, and reduce independent news coverage.

Walz: "It's very clear that the entire federal government is weaponized against Minnesota. They're threatening us. And this is what happens when you have a floundering presidency and it's about those ballrooms. Now we're back on transgender folks."

ALL of the Epstein files are required by law to be released TODAY.
Trump's refusal to release the full Epstein files today is simply a continuation of the White House coverup.
Americans deserve the truth. The victims and survivors deserve justice. Release the files.

Ugh, this whole situation at the White House is ridiculous. The Trump team claims that stopping the work would jeopardize national security, and they're only showing classified documents to the judge, clearly using "national security" as a shield to bypass scrutiny.
New in PN: The legal "defense" for Trump's ballroom is a joke
"How does putting a pause on the Big Gilded Ballroom compromise national security? Well, the administration can’t say … because it would compromise national security."

Good morning and Happy Friday to everyone who is bracing for the Epstein files to be released in name only, with trump safely buried behind a wall of blacked-out, Sharpie-redacted pages.
He's as guilty as the day is long.

The problem is, this thing is incredibly expensive, and many independent media outlets and small creators simply can't afford it.
Large media companies use it to boost their visibility, while ordinary people still have to rely on free tools to get by.

As 2025 ends, the pattern is unmistakable. Trump’s second term is unraveling under its own weight. A hollowed-out presidency, factional chaos, and policies that keep backfiring. Step back from the daily noise, and the consequences are impossible to miss.
Backfire
On every major policy question, the Trump regime is failing badly. And voters are taking note.

The only thing Trump won’t try to affix his name to?
The economy.
His policies have led to higher prices & more people out of work.

Trump is undermining our national security, our economy, and our democracy.
Under his leadership, the government has become a lever available to those who make the biggest contributions and engage in the most flattering encounters with the President and his closest advisors.

Quickly lost track of how many lies Trump shouted out tonight, but the main takeaway is that he has clearly lost touch with reality. Delusional.
The most honest thing he said was, “no one can believe what’s going on.”

We deserve accountability & transparency for ICE & the inhumane conditions reported at detention centers under Trump's direction.
Today, the courts reaffirmed what we already know: all Members of Congress have the right to oversee ICE.

He's lying. How do we know?
Because they released the Sept 2nd video already!! Just not the part where they illegally killed the survivors. There's nothing "top secret" about the second strike if there wasn't anything top secret about the first one.
