Journalist Edward R. Murrow used his platform on CBS to criticize the witch hunts led by Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s.
This is what real journalism should do — hold power to account, not capitulate to it.

His words remain true 30 years later, as Senate Republicans advance a bill that would slash funding for PBS and NPR.

I paid my federal taxes today. How come there isn't a prompt asking me where I would like my contribution go towards; a US backed gulag in El Salvadore or Harvard? Hard to follow the laws today when all the positive causes that my taxes used to support have been stripped away by a felon and crew.

There are two immutable facts when it comes to Trump.
1. Every accusation is a confession

Gaz-a-Lago is a distraction from the coup underway within our federal government, led by Oligarch Musk.
