Any interview conducted by Trump apologist Steve Inskeep I don't listen to. I withdrew my support for NPR after they embraced a renaissance last fall after a brief respite post losing funding. Many shows I still listen to (On the Media is a great example, locally for me Embodied is one).

@ellecordova.bsky.social is back after a bit of hiatus. My gratitude for her perspective...

In North Carolina!

All 3 NC House Districts (23, 99 and 106) booted incumbents known for voting with the Republicans. In 23, Patricia Smith got 55.7% to Shelly WIllingham’s 44.3%. In 99, Valeria M. Levy received 68.6% to Nasir Majeed’s 26.2%. In 106, Rodney Sadler’s 70% to Carla Cunningham’s 22.8%.

Thank you. And I got as much caught up in learning the history of learning of the Sept 15, 2025 decision by Dallas Co Reps re the precinct voting for the primary day...same in Williamson
Co.

Let us celebrate what was accomplished.

5. Which assets Paramount Skydance will be forced to divest I will not predict, but I do believe this merger will not be rubber stamped!

2/3

3. CA also just passed a law requiring state-based companies to file merger also with the state AG at the same time they file with the feds.

4. To appease gov't agencies, Paramount should be forced to divest certain assets to satisfy the statutes and competition rules.

1/3

1. Under the Sherman Act and the Clayton Act, these Attorneys General can sue in federal court to block a merger, regardless of the DOJ.

2. CA also has its own state-level antitrust law, the Cartwright Act. It's broader than federal law in many ways.

California Attorney General Plants Flag on Paramount-Warner Bros. Merger: β€œNot a Done Deal” If the Justice Department and foreign regulators approves the deal, it'll be up to state attorneys general to challenge the merger.

...Paramount/Warner Bros. is not a done deal,” California AG Rob Bonta said on Thursday. β€œThese two Hollywood titans have not cleared regulatory scrutiny β€” the California DOJ has an open investigation, and we intend to be vigorous in our review.”

Done at 330 pm today.

Congresswoman Foushee, NC-4, announced about 2 hours later that she will be boycotting for the 2nd year.

Credit is due.

I voted for her in the primary because she has personally responded to requests. Her fire is real but she just may not be loud enough for some!

And I voted last week. Turnout in Durham, NC is definitely already up from 2022 and 24 for the primary. That will continue...

Thank you. I promise not to block you! I find the video livestreams that Allison has with Wajahat are my favorites. If you follow her there.

What about the original? J. Edgar (Hoover). As much as he was a sycophant, can you imagine him in this scenario?

My question still remains that Kash didn't appear to bring his gf. What a loser!

I thought the first video with the gold medal was awful. Damn. Did Patel bring his gf with him? Probably not...

Yes. I had wished Canada had won. But please don't forget that the Seahawks silenced Robert Kraft's minions a few weeks ago.

Finally some truly beyond good news. The Tarkine of Tasmania. Bob Brown has just announced that Chinese co MMG will withdra their application to dump mine tailings and move it. The Tas/AU govts have a horrible record on extraction practices...This is absolutely beyond wonderful news from Bob Brown.

Done. Chatted with Budd staffer. But they are almost always in Advance, NC district office. Tillis' staff in Raleigh shocked the f out of me and called me back a couple weeks ago. That always goes to VM. No NC Republican Senatorial staff has ever returned my call!
