The oligarchy wants full control of what we watch and read.

A tweet from Robert Reich states:
“The richest man on earth owns X.
The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros.
The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.
The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.
See the problem here?”

Everything is a very expensive exercise in vanity.

A tweet from Michael Freeman (@michaelpfreeman) reads:
“But cancer research was deemed a waste of money.”
It quotes FactPost (@factpostnews), which says:
“Trump’s order to change the Department of Defense’s name to the ‘Department of War’ could cost an estimated $2B in taxpayer dollars.”
Below are two images: one shows a man affixing a sign that reads “Pete Hegseth — Secretary of War,” and the other shows Trump smiling.

Karoline Leavitt takes her cross off when the lie is really bad.

A tweet from Sam Alberti (@sam_alberti) reads:
“‘wanting to release the Epstein Files is a hoax by the Democrats’”
It quotes Aaron Rupar (@atrupar), whose tweet includes a screenshot of Karoline Leavitt speaking at a White House press briefing with a caption:
“Leavitt on Epstein: ‘This is truly a manufactured hoax by the Democrat Party.’”
The attached image above Sam’s text shows several people standing outside a government building holding binders labeled “Epstein Files.”

Newly released Epstein estate documents mention Trump more than 1,000 times. Congress reopened the government after the Senate reached a funding deal. And Adelita Grijalva was finally sworn in, giving the House enough signatures to force a vote on releasing the Epstein files. thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p

Indeed, he did.

A tweet from Gavin Newsom (@GavinNewsom) says:
“You literally fought in court to strip families of food assistance.”
He’s replying to Acyn (@Acyn), who shared a video of Trump speaking at the White House with the caption:
“Trump: The bible tells us that one of the measures of any society is how it cares for vulnerable children and orphans—so important and so big in the bible.”
Below the tweet is a Fox News screenshot showing Trump at a podium, speaking during a live address. The chyron reads:
“NOW: TRUMP SPEAKS AT EXEC ORDER SIGNING.”

Rotten apples don’t fall far from the tree.

A tweet from Mehdi Hasan (@mehdirhasan) reads:
“Wonder where Elon’s racism comes from. No idea tbh. 🤷🏽‍♂️”
It quotes a tweet from The Tennessee Holler (@TheTNHoller) that says:
“😳WOW — ELON’S DAD TO CNN: ‘The USA becoming minority white will be very very bad... You want to see 🇺🇸 go dark? You want to go back to the jungle? South Africa didn’t oppress black people, we gave them work. We fed them. We never saw this (apartheid) you’re talking about.’”

Matt Gaetz raped a 17 year old child after exploiting her healthcare needs for money and this is how the NY Times is framing it.

"ended up having sex with powerful men"

Literally whitewashing child rape.

Corporate media is dead. Stop subscribing to it. This is beyond saving.

Che New ork Times

In Matt Gaetz Scandal, Circumstances
Left Teen Vulnerable to Exploitation
A 17-year-old with a homeless parent wanted money for braces
and ended up having sex for money with powerful men. She
wants the public to have a fuller understanding of how she was
victimized.

@obrhoff so when you import from Spotify, what is happening? Is it a one time sync of playlists etc. and then they play from Apple Music? Or is it a a way to use DaftMusic with a Spotify subscription instead of Apple Music?

Trump orders distraction from the Epstein files, so the former part time Fox News host Pete Hegseth is gearing up for a war with Venezuela.

Venezuela has 200,000 troops ready for the welcoming, writes CBS News.

What a way to deliver on America First and the election promise of no more expensive wars.

For years QAnon told us the “Storm Is Coming” and Trump would bring it. Now the Storm Is Here, but instead of taking down an elite pedo ring at the top of our government, the evidence shows Trump himself is knee-deep in it. My write-up is in the replies.
