Trump Admin “Deliberately” Tanking Morale to Get Parks Staff to Quit, Official Says in Leaked Tape In a leaked tape, a National Park Service official said Trump’s employee policies are a “reign of terror” aimed at driving NPS staff to quit.

I think it's time Trump and his minions in the WH experience the reign of terror. Their performance review should be '0' across the board...although to be fair, I'd give them a '5' in grifting and corruption. Wish we could lay their a$$es off in November!😠

Senate rejects bid to scale back Iran war A similar measure is also expected to fail in the House, giving the president near carte blanche to proceed with the conflict.

Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.): “Six Americans have already died for an illegal war that nobody wants. The region is in chaos. American consumers are paying the price. And for what? We still don’t even know the reason for this war.” 🙄☹️😠😡🤬🤬

The world heard JD Vance being booed at the Olympics. Except for viewers in the US | Bryan Armen Graham The real risk for American broadcasters is not that dissent will be visible. It is that audiences will start assuming anything they do not show is being hidden

Why did the American audience apparently hear different audio of JD Vance's appearance at the Olympics than the audio heard by the rest of the world?

NBC denies muting. But it's part of overall disturbing developments in the US corporate media world.

Trump said he ended DEI in America. Here's why he's wrong The Trump administration’s repeated attacks on diversity, equity, and inclusion have had a chilling effect on corporate America—but they haven’t killed DEI outright.

DEI isn't dead. Far from it. 69% of Americans think it's important for businesses to promote DEI—and that figure was far higher among women and people of color. Once again, the 🍊💩 spouts lies. Most workers don't want to live in a country where there isn't DEI.

The GOP’s “show us your papers” bill Is the latest effort to help Trump take over elections “If the SAVE Act were to pass, it would be the worst voter suppression law that Congress has ever enacted"

During his State of the Union speech, Trump claimed that the SAVE America Act is supposed to protect election integrity.

In actuality? It's just another effort for Trump to take over the midterms.

Justice Department withheld and removed some Epstein files related to Trump An NPR investigation finds the public database of Epstein files is missing dozens of pages related to sexual abuse accusations against President Trump.

"When she was around 13 years old, Epstein introduced her to Trump, "who subsequently forced her head down to his exposed penis which she subsequently bit. In response, Trump punched her in the head and kicked her out."

Gee, I wonder why the docs were withheld.🤔🤮🤮

On Bluesky, it's now labeled in Explore (trending) as "Epstein Controversy" and that's certainly not correct. There is no "disagreement" about any of it, plain and simple. We know he was an extremely sick man, a sex trafficker, rapist, pedophile with a world-wide reach to others just like himself.

FCC’s Carr urges broadcasters to air ‘patriotic, pro-America’ content The agency chair’s call is tied to administration efforts to foster celebrations of American exceptionalism ahead of the nation’s 250th anniversary.

I agree with Commissioner Anna Gomez, the FCC's lone Democrat responding to Carr. "If broadcasters choose to participate in this FCC campaign, they can do so by defending their First Amendment rights and refusing government interference.” Who else agrees? 😠
