Just five media companies control 90% of our media market.
But it’s not just media. In 75% of U.S. industries, fewer companies now control more of their markets than they did 20 years ago – leaving us vulnerable to higher prices and lower wages.
Former FTC Chair Lina Khan explains.

My current favorite bit of right-wing Christian hypocrisy is Ken Paxton, a man whose wife is divorcing him for adultery, forcing Texas schools to unconstitutionally post "Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery."

Paxton tells Texas schools to follow Ten Commandments law despite court ruling
Attorney General Ken Paxton's guidance comes days after U.S. District Judge Fred Biery sided with 16 families who sued their school districts to stop the law from going into effect.

REPORTER: On the National Guard, you've talked a lot about Democratic-run cities and states. Would you also consider sending the National Guard into red states and red cities that are also seeing high crime?
TRUMP: Sure. But there aren't that many of them.

We’ve got armored personnel carriers roaming the streets of DC, “investigations” of political enemies, masked secret police brutalizing immigrants and U.S. citizens, SCOTUS rubber-stamping unconstitutional orders, GOP reps gerrymandering at the president’s order.

That was one of the most batshit press conferences of Trump's public life. He brandished a photo of Putin and promised to deploy the US military to occupy Chicago, New York, and San Francisco. A sane country would be moving toward impeachment and removal right now.
