Right-wing Sinclair Broadcasting owns all these local media stations and many others all across America. This is not journalism, it is scripted propaganda.

Canceling Jimmy Kimmel show is not about Charlie Kirk, just like going after universities was not about antisemitism and occupying DC was not about fighting crime.

Btw very important to say that the FCC has not at all said what Kimmel said that was so objectionable! This is classic chilling effect - there are no rules so everyone stops talking

Trump named Pete Hegseth as defense secretray because he knew Hegseth wouldn't hesitate to order American troops to fire on American civilians. Sending the military into our cities is a major step toward imposing a dictatorship.

Under the DC Home Rule act, Trump is allowed to federalize DC police during an emergency (which doesn’t exist right now), but only for 48 hours. This can possibly be extended to 30 days with notice to Congress, but it’s also subject to judicial review.

Call your senators and representative about this dangerous overreach. Crime is down in DC,so this is a lie and manufactured crisis for the administration to test the public reaction and gain more control.
"We're getting rid of the slums."
One of many threats Trump issued this morning, a ranting, rambling collection of lies.
Bottom line: Trump orders federal control of DC based on false claims of increased violence - and hints future takeover of other cities.
