Trump floated two U.S. cities getting wiped out, used an anti-trans slur on a Senate candidate, and demanded reporters be arrested for reporting crowd sizes. The press largely brushed the crazy off. My write-up in the link in the comments.

The usual crowd hate Olivia Chow for having the courage to state the obvious: there is a genocide underway in Gaza. I am proud to call her my friend. We have been through many battles together through the years and she is always on the right side of the struggle. And she loves Toronto.

The FCC just voted to scrap the rule preventing a single company from owning TV stations that reach more than 39% of American households. This opens the door to more media consolidation, fewer independent local voices and billionaires controlling what millions of Americans see as “local news.”

The U.S. has massive amounts of “munitions,” especially of certain types. Additionally, large amounts are being manufactured and shipped to the U.S. as needed. Defense companies are building the largest number of plants and factories in our country’s history. The “leakers” of these treasonous statements are being hunted down.
