With the Paramount merger complete, the Ellisons will get "unprecedented control over what the next generation watches and reads" and the chance to bolster their "lucrative interests in war and surveillance tech," FPF's @seth-stern.bsky.social writes in @theintercept.com:

The Ellisons Could Make a Killing in Big Surveillance With the Paramount Merger
With the Paramount–Warner Bros. merger set to proceed, the Ellisons can stoke Americans’ fears — and sell the government its solution.

Trump suggests letting Iran 'take out' Los Angeles and San Diego at campaign rally
Trump made the remarks during a rambling speech in which he said gas prices would be lower soon, touted his ouster of Venezuela’s dictator, and made attacks on news outlets.

MAGA: “We support Trump because he says what he means and tells it like it is.” Also MAGA: “That’s not what he meant.” Then the usual cleanup crew, spends weeks explaining what Trump “really” meant. So much for telling it like it is.

No, Mr. President, that is not “worth the price” to pay for a war fabricated in Israel, a repeat of the made-for-Israel war in Iraq 23 years ago.

Your electric bill is up as much as 30%. PG&E's CEO took home $63.6 MILLION. Duke's CEO took home $51.2 MILLION. And both companies paid NEGATIVE federal tax rates. That's not a coincidence. That's a rigged system. Tax the rich.

Violence against women cannot keep being treated like an unfortunate fact of life. Lawmakers should strengthen prevention, survivor protections, investigations and accountability. Women should not have to organize their lives around the possibility of being harmed. 🗣️ #JulesUnfiltered

LSU found a man responsible for r*ping a woman and decided suspension was too harsh. Kendall was a freshman when a football player assaulted her in his on-campus dorm in October 2025. She went to the hospital for a r*pe kit. She filed a Title IX complaint in January.
