When hundreds of thousands of people coordinate across an entire nation to protest governmental policies, that’s not a page 18 story. That’s not a “see more in section B” situation. That’s front-page news. Period.

Print Media to Mass Protests: “Please Turn to Page 18”
Here’s how newspapers across America minimized one of the largest demonstrations since Trump’s return to power.

In 2021, McConnell successfully filibustered a Democratic CR ahead of a government shutdown and forced them to accept a clean one instead. What happened this week - a total cave on a totally partisan long-term funding bill - hasn’t happened in the 20 years I’ve covered Congress.
Screenshot of a McConnell tweet declaring “this week in the Senate proved that clumsy partisan jams will not work” after he filibustered a Democratic spending bill and Democrats agreed to allow a McConnell-preferred clean bill to pass to avert a shutdown.

When Trump was sworn in, Elon Musk's corporations were under more than 32 investigations conducted by at least 11 federal agencies. Most of the cases are now closed or likely to be closed soon, and the federal agencies are being defanged by DOGE. Funny how that works, huh?

The Trump Tax Scam sells out everyday Americans to help billionaires get even richer.
(next to an image of Trump) MAGA Republicans are slashing necessary programs to fund tax cuts for the rich.

Their budget proposes:
$230 billion cuts for SNAP/nutrition programs
$880 billion cuts for health care funding $330 billion cuts for public education & workforce training/protection
$4.5 trillion in tax breaks for the rich

This isn't about efficiency.
It's about making the rich richer
