Only clip that I could find of THAT scene. Still a better love story than Titanic.

The richest man on earth owns X.

The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

See the problem here?

i really resent the continued assertion that there’s so much anger on both sides, as if the causes of the anger are equally legitimate. we’re angry because masked maniacs are violently snatching our family and neighbors off the street, and they’re angry because we’re calling them out for it.

This isn't chaos. It's a plan. The defunding of the NEA, the gutting of the NEH, and the capture of the Kennedy Center are straight from the Heritage Foundation's 'Project 2025' playbook. Read my latest TIME article to see why this cultural attack demands our attention.
Trump’s Campaign to Defund the Arts—and Rewrite History
"The campaign to defund the arts, capture our museums, and rewrite our history is a prelude to silencing dissent."

Reagan's approach to the world prominently featured two things:

1) Russian aggression bad, Western democratic alliance good
2) Free trade good, tariffs and other barriers to trade bad

Pretending it's the opposite is the sort of reality inversion only someone who rejects truth itself could buy.

Shutdown dynamic mentality a from one Senate Dem aide, sent my way: “Their calculus was that Democrats would cave early without any negotiation from their end because we want ‘more government.’ But, as it turns out, they’re in power and we won’t fix their messes for them all the time”

Holy Mike Johnson has canceled House business again next week, meaning that over the last 17 weeks, the House of Representatives will have worked on Capitol Hill for just 20 days. It also means that the House will not be back at work before November 1, when SNAP benefits run out for 1 in 8 Americans

Most of those who use SNAP are children, older Americans, veterans, people with disabilities, and working people. If the SNAP program shuts down, we will have the most mass hunger suffering we’ve had in America since the Great Depression.

Together, these, along with at least 15 other right-wing outlets, make up the new Pentagon press corps.

Presidential Emergency Operations Center is under the East Wing. Sophisticated communications, bunker -- demolished! What's going in it's place? WHO'S PAYING FOR IT? "Private" donations so Trump could bypass Congress and appropriations process? He lied about demolishing the East Wing for a reason.

I'm sorry, why are the media giving cover to the president by saying that the escalation in the Caribbean vis-à-vis Venezuela is about drugs? It's clearly about the fact that Venezuela has the largest oil reserves in the world and a regime change to privatize those benefits Trvmp and his donors.
