People on the right and left are sick of big corporations - like media companies - having become such a dominant force in our economy and our culture. Whichever party offers a vision to break up concentrated economic power has the potential to capture a new alignment of voters.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.
Let’s be clear about what happened to Jimmy Kimmel
Trump’s most brazen attack on free speech yet.

Rep. Crockett has spoken the reality. Survivors are the truth sayers yet they haven’t been interviewed by the current administration’s Department of Justice.
Let’s be clear—this is bigger than Trump. The Epstein files show how banks, corporations, and even governments looked the other way while children were abused. Survivors deserve justice. We can’t let this cycle repeat.

The president is sending the military to control American cities and if you're a reporter who's framing that illegal power grab as "pushing the boundaries of constitutionality" or "acting boldly to fight crime" or whatever, please go find another line of work where you won't get us all killed.
