The same Brendan Carr who wanted to investigate NBC because Kamala was on SNL? The same Brendan Carr who wanted to dismantle independent fact checking and accused them of being a “censorship cartel?” Periodic reminder that the corruption is a feature, not a bug.

“On the same day that the Tompkins County district attorney announced it was revisiting the investigation, the Trump administration finalized its plan to repeal Title IX, the Biden-era rule that mandated a formal process for schools to respond to sexual misconduct claims.”

IDK how anyone thinks Paxton is good for Texas. 21 people were murdered in Uvalde, including 19 children. Calling that part of God’s “plan” is beyond grotesque. Some comments reveal more about a politician than any campaign ad ever could. This is one of them.

The Protest: The demonstrators are seen holding posters that read "Duterte killed our children! We want justice!" alongside photos of young victims, including 16-year-old Angelito Soriano, who was killed during the operations.

Katie Miller, who is a co-conspirator in actions Elon Musk took that will kill millions, RTs interview of Maggie Haberman describing that everyone is counting on pardons, whining that "her family" had to pay for lawyers. (There is abundant evidence Trump paid for it & ALSO laundered $$ to Stephen).
Katie Miller
@KatieMiller
After the first Trump administration, my family spent money we did not have on lawyers because of multiple partisan Democrat led investigations into President Trump. 

I watched as many of my friends also had no idea how to pay expensive legal bills because they simply served their country. 

You can’t convince me Democrats won’t do this again.

In the past, ownership of American broadcast media was limited to Americans. Trump's FCC just approved the takeover of CBS, CNN, HBO, MTV, Paramount, and a dozen others by a group largely controlled by Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar. Yeah, that's the world we're living in now.
