The U.S. government wants kids to skip college and go right into the work force. They also want folks to work till you die. Because building the economy is your national responsibility, you serfs and peasants. Dr. Mehmet Oz says “let ‘em eat cake!”

I am calling for Congress to haul in every person who emailed Epstein about visiting his island. I will not rest until those who committed these crimes are held accountable.

When Jeff Bezos bought WaPo, he immediately took control of the opinions section. Now, he's laying off hundreds of journalists, including those covering Amazon. This isn’t a coincidence. It’s the result of billionaires with vested political agendas taking over our media.

We exposed the global far-right’s playbook at Munich, and how to stop them. Right on cue, Rubio beelined from his revisionist MAGA speech at MSC to boost Orbán in Hungary’s elections. We must wake up before it’s too late. A working class politics can defeat authoritarianism.

Here's another unbearable legacy media move. They'll weirdly promote some corporate Democrat all at once, as if trying to will him into popularity. And they'll declare him a frontrunner. But they'll barely talk about Ro Khanna, when he's obviously the only real leader we have.

Talarico says FCC “colluded with corporate media executives at CBS” to keep his Colbert interview off air: “I think it's safe to say that their plan backfired. The same people who ran against cancel culture, now they're trying to control what we watch, what we say, what we read”

Wow. *Alan Dershowitz* had the audacity in 2019 to demand julie k. brown be denied a Pulitzer for her Epstein work. gatestoneinstitute.org/14003/pulitzer… Julie was right. The victims were right Julie's relentless, heroic journalism should be recognized. Give her the damn Pulitzer.
