The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled.
A truly extraordinary moment.
We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT.
Act like it.

This is a rotten deal that the Trump regime has rubber stamped.
State AGs must step in and block it.

This essay--like so much of Orwell--stands up well.
"By ‘nationalism’ I mean the habit of assuming human beings can be classified like insects...[and] of [placing] a single nation beyond good and evil...Nationalism is not to be confused with patriotism."

SEN. @ossoff.senate.gov : "The White House put a video on social media that depicted this war as a video game… When 🇺🇸 service members are returning in flag-draped coffins, more have lost limbs or suffered brain injuries… it speaks to the moral rot of this administration."

If you think he cares about gas prices, housing costs, home electricity costs, inflation, no jobs, troops getting killed, grocery prices, health care costs, or anything else that would improve the lives of most Americans, you are wrong.
Trump is sending 2500 marines to the Middle East. He's willing to sacrifice as many of our children as necessary to keep you from talking about the #EpsteinFiles.
The SAVE America Act is a voter suppression scam. It would take away the rights of working people to make their voices heard at the ballot box.
The Senate must reject this bill.
This morning Pete Hegseth said "The sooner David Ellison takes over CNN, the better." Ellison may be able to buy CBS News and CNN. Jeff Bezos can buy the Washington Post. But Democracy Docket is not for sale.

It’s almost like Putin and Netanyahu control our foreign policy.
Search-and-rescue crews were “flying blind” trying to rescue survivors from deadly tornadoes that hit the Midwest last week.
Why? Because Kristi Noem hadn't approved FEMA’s $200,000 contract with a tornado-tracking tool.
But she had time to spend $220 million on anti-immigrant ads. Priorities.
I voted for @katmabu.bsky.social officially yesterday, and the fact that these groups are so against her only affirms my decision.
My column on page two of the Sun-Times today.
Now that I think of it, I should have headlined it, "Vote while you still can."

NEW: Trump launched his war supposedly to end the threat that Iran would develop a nuclear weapon. But his war has led to a new nuclear nightmare.
They either didn't know Iran would shut down the Strait of Hormuz or they knew and didn't have a plan.
Either way - just totally clear they don't give a damn about what this war means for hardworking Americans.
If his brain were mush it would be an improvement
We’ve never, ever had this before. A President completely untethered to truth. I mean completely untethered to truth. That’s such a bad thing. But you know what’s even worse? Way, way too many people don’t care. And way too much of the media no longer cares.
Trump goes to Thomas Massie's district in KY today to campaign against him. Since the key issue on which Massie broke with Trump was Epstein, it raises the question: Will Trump address the Epstein scandal and coverup when he speaks there?

Breaking News: The U.S. was responsible for a missile strike on an Iranian elementary school, an ongoing military investigation found. The inquiry said the strike — which Iranian officials said killed at least 175 people, most of them children — was the result of a targeting mistake.
