Netflix is planning to buy Warner Bros for $72 billion, allowing it to acquire its major competitor HBO Max.

This corporate monopoly will be great for Netflix’s executives and a raw deal for everyone else.

What we are watching - as U.S. citizens are dragged out of cars and illegal war is waged in the Caribbean - is the corruption of the most sacred power we give the President - the power of violence.

We are no longer a democracy if the regime can use violence without restraint.

Donald Trump promised almost a year ago that he'd "take care" of rebuilding after the Los Angeles firestorms, but survivors are still waiting for him to officially ask Congress for relief.

It's long past time for Trump to wake up and do his job.

For 50 years, the median wage of hourly workers stagnated or declined while the stock market and CEO pay skyrocketed.

Is it any wonder so many feel abandoned by the system?

People lose faith, and a demagogue fills the void. This is why we must fix the system.

The pardons Trump is handing out are a huge, growing scandal that not enough people are talking about. This is a money making operation - for for Trump, his family, his crypto pals, and the Trump-affiliated lobbyists and grifters who the pardon seekers pay.

Trump just pardoned a known drug smuggling conspirator who was set to spend 40+ years in jail.
