The Ellisons’ new Paramount/Warner Bros mega-media monopoly would never pass muster if America still had antitrust enforcers.
So who can stop this? State attorneys general. Here's how. ⬇️

[Q]: It sounds like Russians are now helping Iran attack Americans now.
[President Trump]:
That's an easy problem compared to what we're doing here.
What a stupid question that is to be asking at this time. We're talking about something else.
💔Kharkiv
Russian attack on Ukraine last night
Cherkasy region: a private home was set on fire. Six people evacuated, two of them children.
Railway infrastructure: damaged in several regions, trains have to change their routes and are arriving with delays.
In #Kharkiv, Russians killed two children along with their mothers.
During a nighttime attack on the city, a primary school teacher and her son, a second-grade student, were killed in their home. Also, an eighth-grade student from Lyceum No. 16 was killed along with her mother.
Mass murder in #Kharkiv, with 10 people confirmed dead, including two children, a 13-year-old girl and a 9-year-old boy.
Another fifteen people were injured, including an 11-year-old boy.
Horrible
Former IMF economist:shipping through the Strait of Hormuz has virtually stopped.
Robin J Brooks stated that shipping through the Strait of Hormuz has effectively come to a halt,which can be considered a de facto blockade of one of the world’s key energy trade routes
DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate — and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August.
He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA.
The grift continues.
I want this mofo to be called to testify! I haven't forgotten his "4 paragraph BS analysis of the Mueller Report!"
I also remember a painting of him getting dress on a bed where a woman was lying from the Epstein Files
We desperately need to grow independent media as fast as we can. You can start by signing up for Democracy Docket. I started it 6 years ago to be unapologetic pro-democracy. No corporate backers. It will never bow down or obey.
Sign up now to help it meet this moment. bit.ly/4qmEiFz
We can throw another $500,000,000,000 at the Pentagon this year and spend $1,000,000,000/day on a wholly useless war, but we can't afford to hire doctors and nurses to take care of our veterans? The United States is such an irresponsible, messed up country right now.
ICE is STILL in Minnesota and STILL terrorizing communities. Reporters that say otherwise are either uninformed (which....) or lazy (which... ) or just repeating regime lies (which... is also extremely bad).
People are still missing, people are and will be traumatized, businesses demolished...
Today's abysmal jobs report is a reminder that tax cuts for corporations and the rich don’t create jobs or grow the economy.
What's required is investment in working people — and better wages.
When workers have money to spend, the economy grows and businesses create more jobs.
Remember this.
And replaced her with a former plumber from Oklahoma the only senator without even a bachelor degree. Jeebas help us.

Trump: "Spain said we can't use their bases. We could use their bases if we want. We could just fly in and use it. Nobody is gonna tell us not to use it"
Not receiving consent and moving forward anyway is a consistent theme in his life — as E. Jean Carroll can attest
Kristi Noem testified under oath yesterday that detainees receive medical attention within 12 hours. Yet another shameless lie.
The Trump regime has abandoned the constitution:
- declared war without Congressional authorization
- ignoring multiple court orders
- impounding Congressional authorized funds
- ignoring the freedom of speech and assembly
It’s a lawless regime that has no legitimacy.
Karoline Leavitt told us the US State Department was helping Americans stranded in the Middle East.
She lied.
One Texas woman in Dubai called the State Department hotline, was scolded for being scared and then hung up on.
This administration is *full* of incompetent, rude people.
BREAKING: The DOJ has been taking down certain Epstein file documents, per CBS News.
I voted in Dallas County today. The texas.gov site wouldn't tell me where to go, so I went to where I voted in the '24 presidential election. They said I was at the wrong place, and gave me the address I needed to go to. That place then informed me I had to go somewhere else.
Evidently, I'm not the only one who thinks so.

Kristi Noem's incompetence is only rivaled by her dishonesty.
Legacy media is failing democracy. Rather than just complain, I did something about. Six years ago I started Democracy Docket from scratch. Now it has more than 400,000 subscribers. But to help protect democracy, it needs to grow and scale. Subscribing now. bit.ly/4qmEiFz
Just a random reminder that over 50 members of Congress collectively own millions of dollars in defense contractor stocks.
They stand to personally profit from wars that enrich these contractors.
Make no mistake, this is legalized corruption.
Watch how they vote this week.
Jenna Griswold played a key role in arguing for Trump’s 14th Am Sec 3 disqualification from the presidency after he was found guilty in a state court of insurrection agnst the Constitution. That she wasn’t the oral advocate is obviously irrelevant. Accusing her of misleading anyone is indefensible.
Three United States service people have been killed (so far).
The death count for the Epstein Coverup keeps growing.
A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else.
We mustn’t let this war do so.
When you start an illegal war to distract from the other illegal things you've done.
