All I heard in my 20's was liberal media controls the narrative from the likes of Rush Limbaugh and others. Today, in my 50's, the far right, along with foreign actors, truly controls the media and the narrative. This is what we must overcome if we want our country back.

“.. They describe the legions of masked immigration officers operating in near-total anonymity on the orders of the president as the crossing of a line that had long set the United States apart from the world’s most repressive regimes.”

The “Reverse Emails” - a complex move in which the Paper Of Record systematically erases the most important news about 🇺🇸’s descent into corrupt & criminal authoritarianism from the front pages - has been going on since 2016 & receives a 9.85 from the East German judge.

Chris Murphy "No Senator has an obligation to vote for a budget that pays the bills for the destruction of our democracy" and blue states should not finance their own demise. Trump is playing Calvinball. Blue states should not pay fed taxes until Trump stops and reverses the lawlessness.

interesting idea -- states set up escrow systems for collecting taxes instead of giving it to the White House Clown www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... With the courts shut down, Trump wouldn't be able to do anything

By holding back federal tax revenues, Democratic governors can turn a one-sided assault into a constitutional showdown

Today, Mike Johnson will have the House adjourned for 77 out of the last 89 days.

House Republicans have worked 12 days in 3 months.

All to prevent a vote on releasing the Epstein files.

The House Republican Epstein Shutdown continues.

DeSantis said “Most people, particularly under 50, what they really need is a catastrophic plan that’s affordable, where then they can pay whatever they’re doing out of a health savings account.”

Ron DeSantis says people under 50 don’t have much use for comprehensive health insurance

'Catastrophic care' should be enough for them.

We currently have a president who is so childishly crude and grotesque that newspapers consider it indecent to accurately describe the video he recently posted, and TV shows think it is indecent to show it.

But many Americans are OK that the Oval Office is home to the nation's crassest toddler.

Blaming baby boomers for the problems of younger generations is popular in elite media, but it is not serious analysis. The problem is the rich and the generational stuff is a distraction deanbaker22.substack.com/p/my-generat...

My Generation: Blame the Rich, not the Boomers

Blaming a generational grouping is a coverup, not serious reporting

You have to really hate your country to do what Mitch McConnell did over decades in the Senate.

His legacy is FASCISM.

I hope he meets his maker real soon.

You know it’s bad when the Dept of Labor says immigration raids are “threatening the stability of domestic food production and prices for US consumers.”

Oh it’s not appropriate for your program to air the president wearing a crown and shitting on American citizens?

You’ll talk about it in euphemisms? Maybe call it the “crown video” and ignore the shitting part? Because that’s appropriate?

Tell me, was it appropriate for the president to do it?

This is the agency in charge of protecting the homeland from everything—from cyberattacks to showing up after a disaster when you’ve lost your home. Next time a hurricane hits and you’re wondering where the burns books party is, remember, this is what they decided their job is.

Trump is treating American farmers like he knows that no matter how much he screws them over they are going to vote Republican anyway.

And he’s probably right since he did it before and they took their govt bailout in 2018 & 2019 and are now back for more wearing red hats.
