The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and City Paper were closed by their Trump-loving billionaire owners. Bezos is laying off a third of the WaPo staff. The AJC is cutting its staff. This is not a coincidence.

This isnāt about convicting Don Lemon. Itās unlikely that will happen. Itās about intimidating journalists & making them censure themselves out of fear of consequences. Itās about eroding the free press because the administration canāt afford the criticism.

I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy. She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.

The closing of the CP and the PG aren't just like, a bummer, or like a regular fuck-the-Blocks moment. It's a drastic reduction in citizens' ability to stay informed and hold our local government accountable, which in today's political environment will have consequences that make my head spin.
