The Trump administration will somehow make $10 billion off the TikTok deal
The unusually large fee comes after the president brokered the sale of the company's US operations to investors allied with his administration.

Every now and then, it's worth reminding yourself that every single crisis of Trump 2.0 -- the economic downturn, the chaos in our cities, the rising health crisis, the foreign wars -- has been a direct result of their own actions. If they'd done nothing at all, they'd be coasting comfortably.

FIFA Peace Prize winner Trump is threatening another devastating war of choice in the Middle East over a nuclear program he claims to have obliterated last year. Don’t let your elected officials dodge responsibility for what’s next. The Constitution puts the power to declare war in Congress’ hands.

Corporations and ultra-rich individuals with numerous business interests cannot be trusted to prioritize the public’s right to know over their own bottom lines. When billionaire conglomerates take control of media, it’s not a win for free speech. It’s a win for oligarchy.
