Donald Trump said he’ll “be involved in” deciding if Netflix can buy Warner Bros. Is that an open invite for CEOs to curry favor with Trump in exchange for merger approvals? It should be an independent decision by the Department of Justice based on the law and facts.

The Trump-Vance administration had Nayra Guzmán taken into custody for 34 hours just 15 days after she had a C-section, while she was going to see her baby in the NICU. This is the character of this administration. This is the morality of this administration.

41 minutes of watching two shipwrecked men trying to flip a boat and signaling for surrender/help before firing on them again reminds me of the 9.5 minutes Derek Chauvin knelt on George Floyd’s neck, in that it’s an agonizingly long time to be killing helpless people who clearly posed no threat.
