The Ellisonsβ 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. β¬οΈ

Trump said four words today that explain his entire foreign policy: βThey have no oil.β
Once you hear them, everything else suddenly makes sense.

Itβs tough competition but I do think Miller is more evil than Trump. Trumpnis ideologically agnostic: He will be just as happy making money with people not suffering as suffering. For Miller, the suffering is the endgame.
Simple: Russia needs to sell oil and gas to fund its attack on Ukraine. By cutting off Iran, Trump has gifted his blackmailer buddy, Putin, with new markets and a new war chest. Epstein files and secrets about the Russia connections stay safe.
Seriously, did Trump start the war to help his buddy Putin? Putin knows too much. Bombs to stop Putinβs reveal?

Scott Bessent says the U.S. will now allow Indian refiners to purchase Russian oil.
From Meidas+: β¦ Sir William Browder, CEO of Hermitage Capital: βMassive short term win for Putin. The longer the Strait of Hormuz remains closed, the more money Putin gets to replenish his war chest.β
Like clockwork.
BREAKING: hell no, we are not going to let Donald Trump rename, close & demolish the Kennedy Center!
We just filed for expedited court relief on behalf of @repbeatty.bsky.social
We @democracydefendersaction.org are proud to fight back with cocounsel Washington Litigation Group
Screenshot of an X post by Dan Scavino reading, βHappening Now in the Oval Office at the @WhiteHouse. God Bless the USA!β with prayer, heart, U.S. flag, and eagle emojis. Below is a photo inside the Oval Office showing Donald Trump seated at the Resolute Desk while a large group of men in suits stand around him in a circle with heads bowed and hands extended in prayer. American flags, gold drapes, and framed portraits are visible in the room.
βIran is run by religious fanatics.β
Ukraine offers to help defend the West from Iranian drones.
Russia helps Iran track American forces.
And the White House eases sanctions on Russian oil.
Explain that to the families of U.S. troops. My latest:

Time: Iran warned the US of grave repercussions for sinking an Iranian warship off the coast of Sri Lanka with a torpedo: βMark my words the US will come to bitterly regret the precedent it has set.β
When there's another 9/11 style attack on America, blame Trump!

Leavitt: "The overall mission in this operation is to ensure that Iran can never again possess a nuclear weapon. That was the real imminent threat that was posed by Iran." (Iran never had a nuclear weapon!)
Leavitt: "The president will be meeting with defense contractors here in the White House in a few minutes to talk about the president's aggressive and fierce support for rapidly increasing the ability of US manufactures to produce American-made weapons."
But, it isnβt a war. SMH
As one does with their mob boss.
The crowd cheers at the memorial service for Rev. Jesse Jackson in Chicago for former presidents Bill Clinton, Joe Biden, and Barack Obama as they arrive.
Super shocking. Given that Russia helped our enemies during Vietnam, Korea, and both gulf wars, who could have guessed this would happen. www.cnn.com/2026/03/06/p...
Trump has shown us repeatedly why he renamed the DOD to Dept. of War. He and Hegseth delight in their power to attack and destroy.
It is so damning of US news media that so many outlets refuse to just straight up say that Senator Tim Sheehy assaulted an activist.
He did not "help" Capitol police. They did not need his help. He wanted to assault the guy and did. He should resign.
Yay! as a Colorado resident, I initially was ok with Polis. But, his support of transferring public school funds to private - usually religious - schools lost me. And, his mealy-mouthed hesitancy about Peters is the last straw. Good riddance.
I will say it again! Trump
Is bombing away Epstein files. And. Bonus! Controlling the worldβs oil and gas movement.
Proud to call her an incredible friend for 23 years and counting. What a boss.
Neguse demolishes Noem (2/2)
NOEM: Our federal detention centers are held to the highest standards in comparison to other detaining facilities
McBATH: Did you just hear me? He has to crawl through mold and feces and bodily fluids just to take a shower. This is absolute lunacy and you know it.
Karoline Leavitt accuses the press of misreporting on Trumpβs war while she stood there lying as usual. Trump had to go to war, and itβs Barack Hussein Obamaβs fault. (Fascist MAGA is trained to include his middle name for their racist followers)
Trump wants control of Iran oil, gas, and rare earth minerals.
