@simonmarksfsn.bsky.social @lewisgoodall.com @nickabbot.bsky.social The media collapse… All you need to seize a country is the judges and the media... No hearts. No minds.

As you see what the new owner of CBS/Paramount Larry Ellison is doing to 60 Minutes and CBS News, please understand he is planning to do that to Tik Tok as a new owner and what he will do to CNN if can close deal to buy that network. This is how oligarchy works. And Trump/Vance are 100% on board!

My law firm is litigating 75 voting and election cases in 39 states. This is an extraordinary number that reflects the scope of the GOP's attacks on free and fair elections and serves as a warning of how hard the fight ahead will be.

There are an awful lot of documents that are just page after page of full blackout. 8-10 pages, nothing left to read.

This should put an end to all the conspiracy theories.

Washington, D.C.'s performing arts center was named for President Kennedy after his assassination. But his vision for the arts as a cornerstone of democracy was shared by Eisenhower and Johnson. n.pr/48PMFnC

Putin isn’t backing down. He won’t stop his illegal and brutal war until he gets everything he wants. Meanwhile, Trump is renaming buildings after himself and accepting fake peace prizes. Two peas in a pod.

🇺🇸 As a U.S. Navy vet I am demanding we get to the bottom of just what-in-the-hell happened Jan. 6, 2021. I will not be shutting up about this EVER, because if there aren't going to be consequences for this attack, the idea of America is as empty as the tiny heart of the lowlife who attacked us.

Sen. Andy Kim is a force to be reckoned with.

Donald Trump's $1,776 "warrior dividend" payments to U.S. troops are coming from a congressionally-approved housing supplement — money they were already set to receive — that was a part of tax cut extensions and expansions bill signed into law in July.

Across the country, the US Department of Justice is issuing sweeping demands and filing bad-faith lawsuits seeking unredacted voter files from states and local jurisdictions. This is unacceptable. Private voter data is not a political weapon. www.lwv.org/newsroom/pre...

The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

Trump and Republicans claim they want to "protect children." But they've rolled back child labor laws and environmental protections, blocked gun safety reform, and spread lies about vaccines that save children from deadly diseases. Hello?

Why isn’t “unlawful without Congress” or some variation thereof not in this headline?

Trump’s DOJ has offered states a ‘confidential’ deal to wipe voters flagged by feds as ineligible. Eleven states have shown a willingness to do so. Colorado & Wisconsin, however, rejected the memorandum of understanding and released copies of the proposal. stateline.org/2025/12/18/t...

Partners at the International Crane Foundation and The Conservation Fund have secured permanent protection of more than 3,300 acres of high-priority wintering habitat for whooping cranes near Port Aransas, Texas.

Why do so many feel like they've fallen behind? It's not because of immigrants, trans people, DEI, the “deep state,” or any other bogeyman trotted out by the GOP. It's because big corporations and billionaires have rigged markets and siphoned off most of the economy's gains.

The Constitution clearly states that war powers belong to Congress — not the White House. Tell your senators to vote YES on the War Powers Resolutions to pump the brakes on Trump’s march to war with Venezuela.
