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.

When I wrote this story, Buttigieg's team swore that this rule would be too popular for Trump to undo. Well. nymag.com/intelligence...
Is Pete Buttigieg Doing a Good Job?
Trains are derailing. Plane parts are falling from the sky. And a former mayor of South Bend is overseeing it all.

Phang: It is a fundamental premise of the law that there is no requirement that a criminal defendant be forced to testify to explain away the government’s evidence. Hallagan went to law school and knows better, but she’s so stupid that she made that misstatement of the law to the grand jury.

Breaking now. 🚨🚨🚨
Of course trump has now flipped and wants republicans in the house to vote to release the files.
Because he knows Blondi will not release them because of a newly opened "investigation" that will NEVER end.

Just so gross. We have all been where that poor girl was. Not wanting to “offend” because he could hurt us in some way if he got angry, but also wanting to vomit at the idea. Fucking men…

Never forget that just a week ago, Ross Douthat and the NYTimes were asking if women ruined the workplace.

Yesterday, a Republican tried to give me holy water and Trump perfume because I’m “demonic.”
Extremely normal stuff coming from an extremely normal party.

My patients whose chronic brain disease has deadly symptoms only relieved by care they *won’t get* without the ACA subsidies @democrats.senate.gov surrender on will be delighted to know of Dems’ “victory”.
They will forever hate you & every pol/pundit who tells them to believe it, much less like it.

As a fired federal employee I’m wondering what or who you think you’re protecting here. Some kind of handshake deal to talk about ACA “later” doesn’t mean a thing to these people.
Baffling decision on your part. What a joke.

Please change your vote to no. I am one of your constituents and a furloughed federal worker. This deal will result in many folks losing their healthcare coverage - that is not what I stand for and neither should you.
