"This is the last flippable seat in the country."

The special election for Tennessee's seventh congressional district, which includes Nashville, is where cracks in Donald Trump’s base are starting to show. @garrisonhayes.bsky.social talks to Democratic nominee Aftyn Behn.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.

Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.

Four giants control 80% of meat processing.

A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.

The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

While SNAP is in limbo between politics and courts, grocery stores and apps have offers for both SNAP recipients and people who want to donate food (e.g. Instacart Community Carts).

Would’ve been great if these businesses had advocated against politicizing SNAP with the shutdown, but here we are.

Very, very few people die from murder or terrorism, but you'd never know that from the media. ALL of our perceptions are warped by what the media chooses to cover, chooses to center, and chooses to ignore. Keep that in mind at all times.

One of the stars of the White House is no more.

The White House Family Theater, the movie theater which first came to be in 1942 when a cloakroom was converted into a screening room, was demolished this week as part of the destruction of the East Wing.

Here’s the original clip of Ronald Reagan from April 25, 1987, where he delivered a complete and total rebuke against tariffs. Trump's calling Reagan’s words here “FAKE” and “fraudulent.” They’re 100% real. And the original clip is actually far worse for Trump, as much is left out of the ad:
