Shocked shocked I am that Collins is trying to have it both ways
To be clear, there is still hope for blocking a Paramount–Warner merger. But as @jonathanalter.bsky.social notes, we need a loud public outcry.
Jonathan Alter (@jonathanalter.bsky.social) has learned that Trump will kill Netflix’s bid for Warner Bros and help Paramount win, giving the president control of Fox, CBS, CNN, and TikTok.

I got a contributor's copy (I wrote a book review), and started paging through it, and this is a pretty amazing issue. tons of eye-opening reporting/analysis of grocery pricing and affordability issues for starters. highly recommended.

Can't algorithmically deprioritize a bus stop
This Claremont twit is so fearful of “wine moms” with cell phones and whistles that he’s demanding Trump crush them with violence.
Or rather, more violence.
Green-card holders no longer have access to the Small Business Administration's 7(a) loan program - the primary loan program for small business owners.
The Trump Administration is determined to tighten the economic noose any way possible on ALL immigrants.

On affordability, Democrats have the stronger hand. They just need to stop folding.

I am genuinely confused about what the point of this essay is.

I had the same exact thought.
Very pleased to be published in @washingtonmonthly.com today! And —“Bernie for Burlington”…what a fabulous biography!
If this be "de-escalation," imagine what escalation would be like.
The raids will continue; ICE can make warrantless arrests. Protesting is “domestic terrorism,” observing is “obstruction”; news coverage is “conspiracy”; Walz & Frey can be prosecuted for criticizing ICE. If this be "de-escalation" . . .

I know all eyes are on Minneapolis, but there's a fast-approaching nightmare in Springfield, Ohio.
Trump is revoking protected status for tens of thousands of Haitians living there on Feb. 3.
Reportedly, on Feb. 4, 1000 ICE agents are arriving to remove this population. Ethnic cleansing.

The statement from Alex Pretti’s parents is just “tell the government to stop telling smirking, transparent lies about why it killed our son” which feels like a new low for our nation. This president and his toadies have brought us to our knees and must be driven out
And we also clarify that these stores would be best created in abject food deserts, so not NYC.
Read the piece, we explicitly reject the Zohran idea of municipally owned stores
A public option for grocery stores, based on the proof of concept provided by the commissary model, could not only vastly improve food access; it could inject more competition into the broader grocery market and bring down food prices for all Americans in the long term. By @clairek.bsky.social
The dropped FTC suit against PepsiCo presents evidence that the company formed a secret pact with Walmart to guarantee that the latter has unbeatable retail prices on Pepsi products—including, at times, by actively raising prices for Walmart’s competitors.

For decades, mainstream economists insisted that consumers benefit from the dominance of chains like Walmart. New evidence shows otherwise.

Exhilarating article. Nicely done
