What a great question to have asked years ago

Let's make this clear: The FCC Chair is once again violating the first amendment by threatening the media for their coverage against Trump.

No person should be above the law. That's why impeachment and conviction of Trump and his cronies is a necessity to move this country forward.

Again, we ask: Why?

This is exactly what a dictator would do...elevate themselves over the ideals our country was founded on.

The Thayer Amendment forbids the likeness of any living person on currency. We should collect these back and melt them down.

We should not be memorializing traitors.

Brendan Carr tweet: Broadcasters that are running hoaxes and news distortions - also known as the fake news - have a chance now to correct course before their license renewals come up. The law is clear. Broadcasters must operate in the public interest, and they will lose their licenses if they do not. And frankly, changing course is in their own business interests since trust in legacy media has now fallen to an all time low of just 9% and are ratings disasters. The American people have subsidized broadcasters to the tune of billions of dollars by providing free access to the nation’s airwaves. It is very important to bring trust back into media, which has earned itself the label of fake news. When a political candidate is able to win a landslide election victory after in the face of hoaxes and distortions, there is something very wrong. It means the public has lost faith and confidence in the media. And we can’t allow that to happen. Time for change! Trump "Truth": Yet again, an intentionally misleading headline by the Fake News Media about the five tanker planes that were supposedly struck down at an Airport in Saudi Arabia, and of no further use. In actuality, the Base was hit a few days ago, but the planes were not “struck” or “destroyed.” Four of the five had virtually no damage, and are already back in service. One had slightly more damage, but will be in the air shortly. None were destroyed, or close to that, as the Fake News said in headlines. The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal (in particular), and other Lowlife “Papers” and Media actually want us to lose the War. Their terrible reporting is the exact opposite of the actual facts! They are truly sick and demented people that have no idea the damage they cause the United States of America. Fortunately, as proven by our Great and Conclusive Election Win in 2024, the People of our Country understand what is happening far better than the Fake News Media! President DONALD J. TRUMP

FCC to journalists: cover the Iran war the way the president prefers or lose your broadcast license.

The crime is not just the killing of people who surrender. The crime is telling the enemy that if they surrender, they will be killed. Because when the enemy hears that they cannot surrender peaceably, the war changes from a strategic conflict to a blood-soaked deathmatch.

ICE agents reveal daily arrest quotas and surveillance app in rare court testimony Under oath, officers said they were told to make eight arrests a day and given special tech to help choose ‘targets’

When a federal judge (finally) put ICE officers under oath, they admitted that they are given daily detention quotas and rely heavily on a Palantir-supplied AI tool to select targets, without warrants and without enough evidence to obtain one. They simply go into neighborhoods and round people up.

Us too.

Republicans, when talking about war and absolutely nothing else.

Man these DOGE videos are like the parody of the fantastical version of “unelected bureaucrats” Republicans have railed on for years

The Strait of Hormuz may be 21 miles wide, but the navigable channel is only three kilometers wide — making a perfect kill zone. About 1/3 of the world’s fertilizer passes through there. The spring planting season is here. The world’s most vulnerable will go hungry and Trump dismantled USAID.

I know I’m a goddamn broken record, I really do, but Congress had a way to change that, it worked for decades, and the Supreme Court blew it up in the 1980s in a way that was impossible for Congress to fix. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Everyone else in the room when a former DOGE employee was deposed.

The idea that America isn’t for everyone who wants to be an American is something that makes my blood boil. Posting a photo of yourself as a Congressman smiling next to these words is wicked. It’s antithetical to the concept of America.

This is so bad. Trump wants ‘out’ now the economic reality is hitting home, Israel won’t be stopping - certainly in Lebanon - and Iran won’t be stopping. A horrendous, avoidable and predictable mess. Now we know why US has spent 30 years of diplomacy and defence assurances to Israel to prevent this

Ryan from The OC going hard on how crypto is a scam is the wildest silver lining in this timeline

I lost track of those guys when Reason started going to shit. Glad they’re still making good content.

This is hilarious.

Also, completely enraging.

5/ And on the Strait of Hormuz, they had NO PLAN. I can't go into more detail about how Iran gums up the Strait, but suffice it say, right now, they don't know how to get it safely back open.

Which is unforgiveable, because this part of the disaster was 100% foreseeable.

It's so bad that we've reached a point where members of Congress casually discuss stripping citizenship from and deporting people because they don't like their views.

leaders like trump are why sun tzu had to write a bunch of advice like "don't write your enemy a letter detailing what tactics you really don't want them to do"

I said it during the campaign, and I'll say it again: abandoning Gaza was a moral failure that became an electoral one. The DNC's own autopsy now confirms it. If we want to win, then we need leaders with the courage to take a stand even when it's hard. Learn the lesson. Demand better.

the people who continue to defend dem leadership are truly a mystery to me. sure you might ride thermostatic backlash to a majority in the house and maybe senate, but long term your party is dying. this is like a CEO running a company into the ground chasing quarterly earnings reports

goddamn is this a breath of fresh air after Allred 2024

Unfortunate that so much US political media is committed to ignorance, credulity, and obsequiousness, because the response to Trump saying Iran has tomahawks should’ve been incessant questioning like “how did you let that happen?,” “did you authorize sales?,” and “who are you holding accountable?”

There’s even that clip (which I will spare people seeing) of Trump calling Rudy dressed in drag “really beautiful.”

This is why we need leaders that are fighting for what the base is excited for: Medicare for All, abolishing ICE, impeaching and convicting Trump, and raising the minimum wage, just to name a few examples.

The failure to speak to these issues leads to lower turnout and Republicans wins.

my EXACT reaction when I read the info in the first panel lmaoooo
