What did Trump officials tell the Netflix CEO today at the White House?

Looks like crony capitalism with the President corrupting the merger process in favor of the billionaire Ellison family.

The richest man owns X.

The second and third richest men control Google.

The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.

And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.

See the problem here?

Kristi Noem lied about an immigrant being a cannibal.

Of course it was all made up nonsense. Normal people didn’t believe it, just like we didn’t believe Haitians were eating pets.

This is part of dehumanization of immigrants playbook. Fear and hate is the point.

This is shocking. Harmless British tourists, a retired couple, shackled & locked up for weeks without reason. Why? Because #ICE agents are paid a bonus every time they detain someone. Welcome to #Trump #America. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office – live The police raided Andrew’s Norfolk home this morning

The former prince Andrew was utterly vile to the unfortunate police who were assigned to his security. So this is perfect #nemesis. Fitting present for his 66th birthday.
