Sinclair Broadcast Group and Nexstar Media Group censoring Jimmy Kimmel's return to late-night is the blatant reason why this #Nexstar and #TEGNA merger for $6.2 Billion must be d e n i e d. ‘They would own 80% of U.S. television households. The FCC limit is 39%.’ #FCC @freepress.bsky.social

@nicollewallace.bsky.social More of Jeffries’ empty rhetoric; can no longer tolerate his or Schumer’s voices. DT didn’t cancel the meeting because of a ‘weak’ position. He doesn’t c a r e about negotiation or bipartisanship, or ‘common ground.’ @schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social

His own private crusade. — “People need to get creative, the old playbook is not built for this moment. He'll push it until he's stopped. A formerly light-touch telecom regulator turned MAGA hardliner has shown how far he’s willing to take this crusade.” Today’s word: jawboning #BrendanCarr #FCC

“I say it’s getting worse ‘on the external level,’ however, because internally he cannot touch us unless we allow him to. In many ways, he is waking us up. Millions of people who hadn’t really thought about what freedom means, are thinking about it now.” -Marianne #Oct18 #peace #freedom 🤍

‘Disrespect for the rule of law, not recognizing the equal importance of our three branches of government, and replacing civility with dehumanizing hostility toward opponents are of great concern to us … raising deeper concerns about political idolatry and unconstitutional notions of authority.’ 𖧷

From Casey Newton: “I'm sickened by the ongoing political violence in the United States and worried that it will escalate. I recommend three pieces to understand #CharlieKirk murder, social media, and the present moment: 1. Ryan Broderick's chilling "The logical endpoint of 21st-century America…’
