State media’s answer to Scott Pelley expressing his righteous concerns about the threat to our freedom of speech, is to use the power of the federal government to go after Pelley’s media company. Weaponizing the power of government to go after critics is how weak, snowflake fascists behave.

So a respected journalist warned the nation that the Trump administration is a threat to free speech and, true to form, its state media outlet warns that there will now surely be retribution by the administration against that same journalist and his network for his act of free speech.

Another day, another scandal under Hegseth. This is not silly stuff like Hegseth using taxpayer funds for a Pentagon makeup studio. The allegation here is an illegal wiretap. If they used an illegal wiretap on a senior official, you think they wouldn’t hesitate to use it on you?

BREAKING: Scott Pelley just risked everything to make one thing clear: The attack on free speech isn’t coming—it’s already here. Journalists are being silenced, critics are being punished, and most of the media’s playing dead. This is state-sponsored suppression. This is dictatorship in real time.

Trump pardoning Joe Exotic so he can go to Mexico to earn $5 million to buy his deported husband US citizenship would be the most 2025 MAGA thing ever.

Power is for those who wield it on behalf of everyone except themselves. Voters must realize asap that selfish, capricious people make terrible decisions and are terrible leaders. Criticize a leader and the way he or she reacts will tell you whether or not that person should even be in charge.

"In a month, Afghans may be deported back to the government that remains allied with al Qaeda. We asked for their help... and at infinite personal risk, they gave it. Then we offered our help, giving them a safe place to live—and now we’re going back on our word." www.thebulwark.com/p/this-memor...

Donald Trump marked Memorial Day with a bitter, grievance-filled screed attacking judges, immigrants, and his political rivals—and did not even mention the men and women who gave their lives in service to our country.

Trump is always in his evil version of campaign mode because that’s all he knows how to do. -He can’t unite -He can’t govern competently -He can’t lead -He can’t empathize or relate -He can’t even make it through one post on Memorial Day without going off into some crazy, unhinged rant

There was simply zero need for masked, armed, unidentified agents to kidnap Rümeysa Öztürk off the street. It was a blatant intimidation tactic by an authoritarian administration, plain and simple.

"European officials have approached negotiations as though they are reasoning with an ally." Instead, Trump's team is pressing for "one-way offers" and has "implied this is not a give and take. It is just a take." This was Zelensky's mistake. Stop pretending the US under Trump is an ally. It's not.
