Must read: @mattgertz.bsky.social on the Orbanization of the press:
The bottom line is Trump doesn’t want a free and open press. He wants a press that is nice to him, that will protect him from negative stories, that will give him fawning coverage.

COP30 overpromised, underdelivered, empowered distractions, backtracked on issues and once again gave big oil and big ag a free pass.
Unfortunately, the suspicions of climate scientists (here in Brazil and abroad) were confirmed again.

Q: You referred to Trump as a 'despot who betrayed the country.' Are you planning to retract any of these remarks?
Trump: And I've been called much worse than a despot, so it's not that insulting.

Russia drafted a 28 point surrender plan, handed it to the Trump team, and the regime delivered it to Kyiv unedited, demanding Zelensky sign it by Thanksgiving or lose all US support. Trump and Vance then promoted the plan exactly as Russia wrote it, verbatim, on TV, online, and in person.

It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends.
We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over.
We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.
