There have been brave & courageous war correspondents & reporters throughout history who have uncovered fraud, corruption, abuses and worse inside DOD and the military industrial complex over decades.

Then you have useless hacks that would sign on to Hegseth’s censorship rules.

We’re in the second Gilded Age just like the first — when America’s wealth was in the hands of a few, money corrupted politics, and working people were abused and exploited.

It can be easy to feel discouraged, but the first Gilded Age teaches us lessons on how we can fight back.

Trump is upset because unlike his gokf tournaments, the Nobel Peace Prize isn’t rigged. People have to have actually worked for the good of mankind rather than get others to pretend.
They don’t give out participation trophies.

I asked ICE why they couldn’t comment on their own arrest. The agent said to direct questions to DHS. And it appears DHS is making accusations via X to justify the abduction of a child.

GOP once thought they were working for the American people, but their vision of what that meant was different from the vision of the Dems. This was healthy.

Trump isn't working for Americans, he's working for himself & his class of oligarchs. MTG returning to GOP roots is a good thing. #ProudBlue

You’re the same age as my youngest brother.
As far as Reagan, the whole Rupert Murdoch thing set us on a terrible path. His changes to Social Security and taxes screwed the middle class. For decades he was the Republican hero on a pedestal. I never really understood it.

I can attest to that. I’ve been a WP subscriber since 2009. I’m not going to renew. It’s gone so downhill. The editorial page drives me crazy. Their International News is the only thing I still value. Their domestic News is all TRUMP worship. It’s terrible.

I think the counter argument to “Ellison and Weiss will turn CBS News into an unstoppable propaganda machine” is Bezos’s WaPo which lost basically all the talent and also is in a subscription death spiral

George Stephanopolous did what every anchor and host should have been doing since Bush 2000: Rejecting the bullshit, gaslighting, and rude, evasive filibustering the GOP has perfected to hide their lies.

NO MORE BULLSHIT.

It’s absolutely heartbreaking. 💔 I see more and more people living in their cars. I’ve lived through many things, but the vibe now is different from anything I’ve ever experienced as an American. I’m trying not to let it get to me. I’m very sensitive to the environment around me. ☮️💙💔😳
