For those of us warning about democracy's potential disintegration, the decision by CBS to pull an exhaustively researched 60 Minutes piece, critical of Trump, is another red alert moment.
When truth disappears as the media gets coopted by the regime, there's little left.

Jon Husted just voted against lowering health care costs for Ohioans AGAIN.
That makes 9 times that he’s refused to help struggling Ohioans afford health care.
Jon, you should be ashamed of yourself.

For some reason Democratic leaders seem to prefer telling voters what they won’t be able to do, rather than what they’d like to do.
If Hegseth ordered a war crime and lied about it, shouldn’t Ds try for impeachment? Put Rs on the spot. They might get a few defections.

American scientists were once able to go about their work free of political interference. But since Donald Trump returned to office, government scientists with disfavored views have been fired or muzzled.

JD Vance has only been Catholic for six years. During that time, he’s desecrated the faith in service of Donald Trump and his own political ambition.
JD Vance’s Road to Rome — and to MAGA
He once likened Trump to Hitler. Now Vance is Trump’s vice president. The Ohio conservative’s journey from “Never Trump” skeptic to MAGA firebrand coincided with his 2019 conversion to Catholicism.
