A senior CBS News staffer expressed sympathy for employees at CNN who are frustrated and upset over the Paramount news. "I need to keep reminding myself it can - and will - always get worse," the staffer told me, adding that CNN staffers "should" be freaking out since "it's hell over here."

This is insane — DHS apparently went so far in their lie that Columbia University President Claire Shipman says the agents apparently brought faux flyers of a "missing child" so they could force themselves inside a campus residency to detain a college student.

People are asking what else they can do. My advice is to drop your subscriptions to Paramount and Warner Brothers services and use that money to support as many independent media outlets as you can afford. Pick a couple and give them a try. It's critical we build a pro-democracy media ecosystem.

"Claude is so much better than grok that we need it to kill people"

The richest man owns X. The second and third richest men control Google. The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

It’s great that Republicans on House Oversight established a precedent today for First Ladies to be deposed about Epstein. Can’t wait until Democrats take over the committee at the end of the year.

They’re committing horrifying atrocities, and they are also living large on our dime. Kash going to the Olympics, Noem buying herself luxury jets. They want to be famous celebrities.

She is refusing to turn over Utah voter data rolls.

Arrest them.

Media consolidation is a threat to the free press. CNN will get killed or turned into a Fox News wannabe like Bari Weiss has done with CBS News. www.npr.org/2026/02/26/n...

🤬😡😤🤯 This just fills me with rage.

These numbers tell me that not enough people in this city knew about the disaster assistance centers

Sociopaths are terrific at spotting other sociopaths. {gift link} www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

The nation’s main agency for handling disaster response and recovery is shuttered for the third time in recent months and its workers are on the verge of missing paychecks, as members of Congress and the White House remain divided in a separate dispute over immigration enforcement.

Note the word "unlock," as if there exists federal law that simply needs to be invoked or triggered that would legitimize the GOP taking over as America's permanent rulers in defiance of the people's will.

That is illegal because again states control their own elections and EO’S ARE NOT LAW.

Donald Trump’s plan to steal the 2026 midterm elections is already underway.

Why isn't this a WAY bigger story? Planning to be retired in 2040? Or still alive and on Medicare any time after that? Good luck with your healthcare.

Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos is set to visit Trump tomorrow. Susan Rice told the truth. Now, Netflix must choose whether to stand by her or capitulate to Trump. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/susa...

So the racist Obamas as apes meme that Trump posted was made by one of his staffers inside the White House.

I FUCKING HATE THIS TIMELINE.

CHATTANOOGA: “DO Y’ALL HAVE A WARRANT? What’s the suspicion of crime, they’re brown?” ICE trespasses on private property as they conduct their racial profiling terror campaign. An ex ICE lawyer just testified they are trained to disregard the law. Full: www.facebook.com/share/r/1CPF...

This is both an act of war *and* a war crime, as it is similar to cutting off water or destroying power plants. It's designed to kill civilians.

Trump Wants to Deport Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, and … Robert De Niro? Donald Trump attacked the actor in a crazed post–State of the Union rant. ...

This is a campaign of retribution. Trump is weaponizing the entirety of the federal government to punish blue states like Minnesota. These cuts will be devastating for veterans, families with young kids, folks with disabilities, and working people across our state.

I live in Minnesota and I want the federal government to stop trying to kill us. And hurt us. I want them to stop attacking us. It sucks. We’re just trying to live our lives and take care of each other and we don’t deserve all this. I kid around sometimes here but I’m not kidding now.

Let’s be clear: the Trump administration isn’t “pausing” funds to fight fraud. They’re weaponizing Medicaid to punish a state that rejects their extremism. They’d rather see a child lose coverage than see a Democratic governor succeed.

Congressman Tony Gonzales must be forced to resign. Public pressure from the American people must rise to a fever pitch. More people must know about this. Tell someone. They must not be allowed to get away with sexually harassing a woman to death.

This will kill people

Judge Strikes Down Sinister Trump Tactic to Fast-Track Deportations U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy said the Trump administration could not keep deporting people to the wrong country without notice. ...

In Minnesota, eh? They haven’t found Medicaid fraud anywhere else in the country? So they’re just gonna punish Minnesota a little bit more. They are so obvious.

Walked out of the State of the Union because I couldn’t sit through hours of Trump’s lies. Americans know the truth: he’s spiking prices and wrecking our economy. We’re a better country than this.

This is the SAVE Act that Trump is discussing tonight.

He means kicked them off.

This man is a goddam national treasure 🥹

BREAKING: Democrats @jenforpa.bsky.social and Ana Tiburcio just won their special elections, successfully defending the Democratic majority in the Pennsylvania House. Congratulations!

A record of the FBI interviews does appear in the files—on a list of discovery files given to Ghislaine Maxwell before her trial. By allowing Maxwell to retain information that the public does not have, Trump’s DOJ has enabled her to maintain potential blackmail over the president.

Time to stop losing face to the leopards, MAGA.

Breaking MS NOW: Agents with the FBI's elite evidence response team were delayed in reaching the scene of a mass shooting at Brown U. in December because there was no FBI plane available. Kash Patel was in south Florida at the time with one of the FBI's two available jets.

Knowing what we have become leaves a gnawing hole in the pit of my stomach. It's just unbelievable that so many people are ok with this wretched treatment of fellow humans.

Certain Tennessee lawmakers are pushing for the death penalty for women who have abortions. They are telling us just how bad they really are. Listen.

Aaaaauuuuuggghh

“I heard the officer say ‘that ain’t shit’.” NASHVILLE — ICE shatter a car window in front of a newborn, refuse to look at man’s license & work visa… drag him out of his car, hit him, mock him for being Guatemalan (he’s from Mexico), laugh when he begs to say goodbye.

A Nashville comedian created a fake ICE deportation tip line. Neighbors, coworkers and even a kindergarten teacher called in—trying to get families deported. @drewharwell.com sits down with @samsteindc.bsky.social to discuss how a viral stunt became a window into America’s darkest impulses.

Susan Rice saw this moment coming. She described it plainly, and she was right. Now, Netflix must decide which side of history it wants to be on. The right choice is obvious. The only question is whether Netflix has the courage to make it. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/susa...
