Trump’s billionaire allies will now own CNN, Fox News, CBS, WaPo, WSJ and NY Post — plus 185+ local tv stations and news in 100 markets. They also control X, Facebook, Instagram, Threads, WhatsApp, TikTok, Truth and Twitch. This is all by design to manipulate and surveil us. Pay attention.

Donald Trump has lost nearly 10% of voters—almost 20% of his support—since his election last year. He’s done so largely because he’s pursued the policies he ran on, and most people hate them. Who is at fault for voters not understanding what he ran on? I’d say the press is largely culpable.

Right now Pierre Poilievre is losing his seat, it has not been called yet, see story for reason why. #cdnpoli #elbowsup #never51state #CanadaStrong
A tight race - with 91 candidates
— in CarletonPoilievre's riding of Carleton in the Ottawa area received special dispensation from Elections Canada to begin counting ballots early tonight because of its 91 candidates.
CBC Power & Politics host David Cochrane presented a replica of one of the printed ballots on CBC's election special.
"Just look at the sheer girth of this thing," Cochrane said, while holding it unfolded with outstretched arms.
As we mentioned earlier this afternoon, most of the candidates are linked to a protest movement called the Longest Ballot that has been targeting that riding for more than two decades, as a way to call for electoral reform in Canada.
It'll take some time to count those votes, but early results showed Liberal Bruce Fanjoy with a narrow lead. That could change throughout the night, but the race has been tighter than Conservatives may have liked.

Turns out that offering the president's wife $28 million for a documentary gig still doesn't spare you from his retributive wrath.
Just over two weeks later, Amazon, a company that prides itself on frugality and sharp negotiating, agreed to pay $40 million to license the film—the most Amazon had ever spent on a documentary and nearly three times the next-closest offer. 

Netflix and Apple declined even to bid. Paramount made a lowball $4 million distribution-rights offer. Disney, the most interested studio besides Amazon, offered $14 million. 

“We licensed the upcoming Melania Trump documentary film and series for one reason and one reason only—because we think customers are going to love it,” said an Amazon spokesman. 

The first lady’s cut is more than 70% of the $40 million, according to people familiar with the matter. And they’re still looking for more: Melania’s agent has been trying to sell “sponsorships” for the film—starting at $10 million—to prominent CEOs and billionaires who were at the inauguration, according to people familiar with the matter. Buyers would get thanked at the end of the credits and be invited to the premiere. These overtures were made independently of the deal with Amazon, which was unaware of the outreach, according to a person familiar with the matter.

3. Conclusion
It is this Court's finding that Respondents' Response and testimony was replete with
conclusions, declarations, and accusations, by anything
meaningful in the record. Respondents have been unable to convince the Court by even a preponderance of the evidence, let alone clear, unequivocal, and convincing evidence required, that Petitioners Sanchez Garcia and Sanchez Puentes are members of Tren de Aragua, and therefore has not shown this Court that they are properly designated "alien enemies" under the AEA pursuant the TdA Proclamation.
