1. CBS sells itself to Trump's billionaire allies for $8 billion.
2. Trump manages to exort CBS for $16 million just for fun, leveraging some fake investigations at the FCC.
3. CBS fuses with Bari Weiss' bullshit machine to create another massive new right wing propaganda outlet.
Easy peasy.

Skydance reportedly in talks to buy Bari Weiss’ The Free Press — is CBS News role in her future?
Sources speculate that Weiss could play a major role in reshaping CBS News, which has been plagued by criticism of a left-wing bias.

🚨 ICE disappeared a woman on Wednesday night. She was grabbed by men in plainclothes and taken to an unidentified location.
ICE is refusing to say where she is being held. It’s 72 hours later and not even a dedicated team of lawyers can find her.
This is WRONG. We can’t let this be the new norm.

NEW: At stake is not only whether Black voters in Louisiana have access to fair representation — but also whether the landmark law, already badly weakened over the last decade-plus, can remain an effective tool to block racial discrimination in the redistricting process.
Supreme Court to Hear Latest GOP Bid to Gut the VRA

I suspect this is a HUGELY underestimated factor in radicalization. If you look at, say, QAnon boards, it’s not really folks looking for scapegoats for their dire material circumstances. It’s middle-class people with boring lives who want to imagine they’re in The Parallax View.
One of my best friends is from a sleepy, wealthy small town in the south-west of Germany. He said, so many of my parents’ neighbours are rich and bored, with little to complain about, and they’ve radicalised themselves at dinner parties and online. In their aimlessness, they’ve bonded over hate.
This isn’t some rant saying “Germany has learned nothing from its past” - the reality is more subtle than that. Middle-class Germans live and travel with an incredible amount of ease and comfort, and they just got…sleepy. Many of them dismissed the far-right’s rage as just another set of complaints.

What's "going to happen" for which military lawyers will be a "roadblock?"
Hegseth says firing of top military lawyers was about making sure "they don't exist to be roadblocks to anything that happens."

The SAVE Act will require voters to provide unnecessary documentation to vote.
This bill would make voting harder for people of color, women, and low-income people — groups of people who already face more difficulties at the polls.

I will say again: The destruction of the CFPB—an agency that has brought in $20 billion over a little more than a decade despite having an annual budget that's less than what DOD has spent so far today—is the clearest sign none of this has anything to do with saving taxpayers money.
"I am preparing this declaration to ensure that the Court is aware of the imminent risk that twelve years’ of critical CFPB records, which belong to the public, will be irretrievably lost and cause serious and sweeping damage unless the Court takes action."
CFPB's former chief technologist issues an urgent warning to the court that several years' worth of sensitive data is about to be destroyed, with damaging consequences
