They are being explicit about turning corporate media into state propaganda.

Since 1994, immigrants have paid more in taxes than they receive in benefits every year.

Do not believe the lies you hear about immigrants.

They are good for society and the economy.

Careless and heartless, on top of incompetent. He has no business sending our service members into war when he has zero appreciation for those who make the ultimate sacrifice and their loved ones.

Rogan: Trump is 80. He doesn't have much to lose. That's the scary thing about old leaders. Like, death is imminent. It's within a decade if you're lucky. You're making decisions for babies and children and the future of the world, and you've only got maybe 10 years left on Earth.

Trump is spending $1 billion a day waging war on Iran. Meanwhile...

Trump's sons are investing in a drone company that could soon receive Pentagon contracts.

And of course Trump's Big Oil donors stand to gain windfall profits as the price of oil skyrockets.

War is a racket.

Forgoing food. Cutting back on utilities. Driving less. Borrowing money.

These are the sacrifices that tens of millions of people are making to afford their health care expenses, according to a West Health-Gallup Center on Healthcare in America survey released.

I love the idea that *this* US government, which has been nabbing landscapers and five year olds knows where Iranian sleeper cells are but just hasn’t gotten around to doing anything about it yet.

Opinion | Separation: A Family Navigates the Risks of Being Undocumented A Honduran teenager and his family live in America’s new immigration landscape.

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com

β€œGang members would drag us away if we didn’t come with them.” This undocumented teenager escaped the gangs of Honduras. In America he’s dodging ICE.

This. Democrats are handing Republicans a path out of the horrific ICE mess that is killing people, separating families, and terrorizing communities. But Republicans are too afraid of Trump to act. Instead, they wring their hands behind closed doors about how they are losing voter support.

Keep in mind that Pete Hegseth's reported Pentagon spending spree happened just months after Trump and Republicans made devastating cuts to the social safety net in exchange for huge tax cuts for the rich.

And defense spending may soon hit a record $1.5 trillion.

Priorities.

Representative-elect Bobbi Boudman ran an incredible campaign and won in a district Republicans carried by 13 points last election. Democrats have now flipped 28 state legislative seats since Trump took office, while Republicans haven’t flipped one.

Congratulations, Bobbi!

Host: Your grocery bills could soon be going up even more because of rising fertilizer costs hitting American farmers. Because of the war with Iran, a key waterway used to export fertilizer is currently being choked off.

Jim Cramer suggests on CNBC that Trump could β€œbomb Tehran into the Stone Age” until Iran reopens the strait, citing U.S. bombings of North Vietnam in the 1970s. Carl Quintanilla points out to him that Hanoi won that war.

Another word you might use for it is "looting".

"This appears to be the first administration to take such widespread advantage of taxpayer-funded military housing to accommodate political appointees who do not have a direct connection to the military..."

As a congressman, Markwayne Mullin made not one but two solo trips to Afghanistan, ignoring State Department warnings so he could play action hero.

He’s a former amateur MMA fighter, not a veteran.

If he’d been captured or injured, American troops would’ve had to risk their lives to bail him out.
