It sucks that an authoritarian is using corruption and strongarming to consolidate legacy media brands under the control of friendly oligarchs. But it's also going to show how weakened those assets are. It's the old regime consolidation playbook. They matter a lot less than they imagine these days.

The Trump administration has just deleted this photo of Trump Cabinet Secretary Howard Lutnick with Jeffrey Epstein on what appears to be an island.

New survey: 6% of 2024 Donald Trump voters now say they didn’t vote for him. Some even claim they backed Kamala Harris instead. This sounds like buyer’s remorse and they should be embarrassed! #USDemocracy #Pinks apple.news/AJZDqfdwBRl6...

Orlando Cicilia, who is married to Marco Rubio's older sister, Barbara, was part of a "Cocaine Cowboy" era drug ring in the 1980s. He was considered a "front man" and second-in-command for a ring that distributed millions of dollars worth of cocaine to the United States.

Everyone would save money except the health insurance companies. Businesses would also save money, but they would lose something that they can hold over employees heads to keep them from leaving.

Time to sue the DOJ over this.

Hillary Clinton briefly halted her closed-door testimony before the House Oversight Committee on Thursday after a Republican attendee leaked an image from inside the deposition. The former secretary of state had requested a public hearing, which the Republicans who control the panel rejected.

In an overlooked decision this week, the Supreme Court ruled that the post office can refuse to deliver your mail, which is KIND OF SIGNIFICANT if you choose to mail your ballot. To do this work, the anti-democracy wing turned to their favorite “black friend,” Clarence Thomas.

Over on Xitter, Benny Johnson posted this rock solid proof that Jeffrey Epstein is close with Hillary Clinton.

Democrats, if they win, should immediately break up this monopoly. Play hardball.

A draft emergency executive order to declare a national emergency to allow President Donald Trump to take unprecedented control over voting is being circulating by anti-voting activists who said they are in coordination with the White House. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Ellison family, fresh from acquiring CBS, now in pole position to control Warner Bros and CNN

Trump’s own bank regulator is reviewing the Trump family's application to form a crypto bank. A company tied to the UAE’s top spy is a co-owner. The public deserves transparency, so I asked to see the unredacted application. Here's his response:

The US aims to process 4,500 refugee applications from white South Africans per month, far above President Trump's stated refugee program cap, and is installing trailers on embassy property in Pretoria to support the effort www.reuters.com/world/us-aim...

Here are several different views of a #PaintedStork with #WideOpenWings for @alan678.bsky.social’s #BirdOfTheDay challenge. I thought this was such a beautiful bird! #birds #WildlifePhotography #EastCoastKin

For @alan678.bsky.social's #BirdOfTheDay theme today of #WideOpenWings (birds with wings wide open) we have a pair of Ring-Necked Ducks coming to join the party on a wet, snowy early spring day. #birds #photography

#BirdOfTheDay theme is #WideOpenWings This is a red-tailed hawk returned to its nest on top of the pine tree with whatever it had just killed

Today's #BirdoftheDaytheme is #WideOpenWings. I'd say this snowy egret fits the theme. This image was made right down the street from my house. They seem to like that old snag. #photography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #EastCoastKin#birds #birds #egrets #HighKey

Ordinary people doing extraordinary things.

On Friday, a Catholic hospital in Nashville canceled a woman’s scheduled sterilization surgery because the hospital’s religious ethics oversight committee was concerned that it was failing its “duty to protect her sacred fertility.” It's the law in Tennessee. www.jezebel.com/woman-says-c...

We knew they weren't smart, but some of them.. ..whoa

The deep state are Nazis and they purged the actual Americans. We need to arrest, convict, and imprison everyone guilty of crimes and coverups, and then we MUST purge the MAGA from our government. They are traitors all.

Probably fine

Sometimes murdering a convoy of ambulances and then burying the evidence is "defending yourself."

“.. If Trump had any sense he would be ostentatiously pushing [refunds] through quickly, perhaps even labelling them a tariff dividend and hoping no one notices ..” but he “cannot grasp quite how unpopular they have become.” @alanbeattie.bsky.social www.ft.com/content/57d9...

My Trade Secrets today. The Trump tariff refunds saga is blackly comic. About 20% of tariffs levied on Chinese exporters are paid directly by those exporters. So they get a refund windfall, having largely passed the tariff costs on to US co.s & consumers. I know, right? as.ft.com/r/30dbb3e0-8...

The only ones who can afford to pay a $31K deductible are the 2% folks at the top. Insurance for me, but not for thee.

It is time we stop this madness. Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. We have to stop these billionaires ruining our planet.

The deceit would be breathtaking on another timeline but for the private utilities this is just another day ending in Y. When I worked on utility programs in CA the utilities constantly spent well below the budgets *they* advocated for and had this same claim.

Interesting choice of (large) photo to accompany 2 headlines: one about how files relating to allegations of the sitting President’s serious misdeeds have mysteriously gone missing; the other speculating about what the feelings of the losing presidential candidate from a decade ago might be.

Here to lend support. Like I said, I wondered how many other women noticed and resented this. I know Nancy and I weren’t the only ones who did.
