WARNING: The Ellison family is about to own CBS News AND CNN. A judge just cleared the deal. Closing: days away. When one family controls what tens of millions watch, democracy loses a watchdog. Independent media isn't a luxury. It's your last line of defense.

White Christo fascism is not Christianity. It is a perversion of Christianity - The reality is that it is straight up fascism - a extreme political philosophy - which is operating in direct opposition to American democracy.

This morning, the Justice Department went after nearly an entire state's federal bench, all at once. The judges had said the government wasn't following court orders. The response was to try to remove the judges. Here's why every American should be paying attention. www.jackhopkinsnow.com

In high school, my teachers taught us to investigate source material. Where information came from, who was telling it, who they were telling it to. Not all information is created equal. Anyway, it took me a while to realize that level of analysis, fundamental in my life, is not widely taught.

Maggie Haberman Reveals Key Moment When Trump Lost His MAGA Support
Maggie Haberman, a prominent reporter for The New York Times, recently pinpointed a significant turning point in President Donald Trump's relationship with his core supporters: his handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files. During a discussion at the Texas Tribune Festival, she highlighted how this moment contributed to a decline in trust among his once-passionate following. Haberman disclosed that, according to Trump’s allies, the discontent began to bubble over in the wake of the Epstein controversy.

The amount of Amazon workers relying on SNAP and Medicaid has nearly tripled since 2020 — while Amazon’s annual profits soared by over 550%. It’s the same story everywhere: corporate profits are at record highs, while workers’ share of the economy is at a record low. We must unrig the system.

Norway produces more oil than Venezuela. And yet, between January and August 2026, electric vehicles made up 97.8 percent of all new cars sold in that country. Moving to EVs is often based on intelligence, not need. Which is why it lags in the notoriously short-sighted and stupid United States.

Calling something “illegal” only matters if the law is actually enforced. Mike Johnson and the Supreme Court need to enforce it. No president should be free to ignore the law to punish enemies, reward allies, and enrich himself.
