FCC chair suggests agency isn't independent, word cut from mission statement The statement speaks to a broader trend of regulatory agencies losing power to the executive branch during the Trump era.

Another sycophant.

Another guardrail taken down.

The FCC no longer makes even a pretense of independence.

They exist to do the president’s bidding, even when it involves censorship.

Another reason RFK jr should resign

We are fast becoming a banana republic, with two standards of justice. If you oppose the leader, you go to jail just for speech. If you're a loyalist, you get immunity for your crimes.

That's what happens in Iran - not the United States. This is a decision moment for America.

You guys see where this is going? Right?

RFK jr's cult beliefs in no way supersedes anyone's right to prevent death or disease in their self or their family.

Full Stop.

@nealkatyal.bsky.social: “You’ve got the president who's imposed the largest tax increase on American consumers since 1993 … and he did it without Congress saying one word. That is not our constitutional structure.”

Pay attention. Your family’s safety is on the line.

"To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country – I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story."

Governor JB Pritzker

Words cannot adequately describe what a colossal disappointment our mainstream media has been during our slow descent into authoritarianism.

I think everyone should be able to enjoy these pics of my niece’s puppy who is 6 months old and already 80lbs! He’s the sweetest boy! His name is Toji.

NEW ANGLE

Watch and decide, but I was never fully convinced he was shot in the first place. Never mind that his ear should’ve been blown off—now completely healed. Or that the Secret Service took their time getting him offstage.

But from this angle: you see the photographers guided into place…

Omg! Who did this?!?! 😂🤣😂

They’re eating the files, they’re eating the flight logs, they’re eating the list. 😉

Think hard. For years, Trump insisted the Epstein files were real and contained incriminating evidence against the Clintons and other key Democrats. Now he insists that the files themselves are fake and created by Clintons and the Democrats to frame him.

He’s literally telling us he’s in ‘em!

April 11: “The phones are ringing off the hook.”

July 6: “Many of these countries never even contacted us.”

Lisa Murkowski cuts a last minute deal solely to benefit Alaska, exempting it from some of the more odious parts of the bill to secure her vote and sell out the rest of the US. Yeah this stuff sucks and hurts a lot of people, but I got Alaskans exempted so the hell with you.

Republican Sen. Thom Tillis is a NO on the GOP budget bill:

"I cannot support this bill in its current form. It would result in tens of billions of dollars in lost funding for North Carolina, including our hospitals and rural communities."

Louisiana hospitals warn Mike Johnson of 'devastation' from megabill

Every major health system in Louisiana is warning Speaker Mike Johnson and the rest of the state’s congressional delegation that the Senate GOP’s planned Medicaid cuts “would be historic in their devastation.”

DEMOCRATS—hell yes, do it‼️

Force the full bill reading on the floor. No more Senators pretending they didn’t know what was in it when they voted.

📌 Senate Dems may make clerks read the entire budget bill out loud. Good. People want fight—this is one way to show it.
@democrats.senate.gov

Supreme court struck a major blow to democracy & the rule of law by stripping federal court judges of the power to block trump’s executive orders nationwide. This is a direct attack on the separation of powers that form the basis of our system of govt.
