Corporation that bought CBS and censored 60 Minutes increasing hostile takeover bid of Warner Brothers backed by billionaire Larry Ellison.

Hope they don't get it.

Major media and especially news outlets should not be owned by a few billionaires or corporations.

Mike Johnson was pissed that we pushed a petition through and are forcing a vote on extended ACA tax credits. He just can’t stop losing.

But right now we need your help. We need everyone to contact Congress and tell them to get it done:
Tell Congress: Demand Speaker Johnson hold a vote IMMEDIATELY on the ACA tax credit extension

DOJ broke the law today by refusing to produce all the Epstein files. It also broke the law by redacting information other than to protect victims. Yet, the corporate media is acting that DOJ did us a huge favor.

Now, more than ever, help build independent, pro-democracy media. hubs.ly/Q03CbHTt0

BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed a bill that would subject immigrant children to invasive bodily searches and keep them in detention instead of releasing them to their families.

We should reform the campaign laws before anything else.

1. Remove the Citizens United law and allow no loopholes for big money to drown out free speech.
2. Remove the Electoral College which people are attempting to use illegally to steal elections.
3. Make lawbreakers really pay so it hurts.

It's been over three weeks and they still haven't released the Epstein files because withholding exculpatory evidence is clearly what you do when you're "innocent."
