This is what "media capture" looks like.

Elon Musk boosted the lie that James Talarico stayed at a mental hospital. Meta suspended No Kings’ Instagram account during nationwide actions. Staff at the Ellison-owned CBS News were reportedly told to tie Abdul El-Sayed to the Muslim Brotherhood and 9/11. Democracy dies in billionaire hands.

Nobody elected Elon Musk to anything. Nationalize his businesses and deport him before he destroys the world's democracies.

Under threats from Trump’s FCC chairman Brendan Carr, Jimmy Kimmel had to put his interview with James Tallarico on YouTube. Yet Trump is free to use taxpayer money to run political ads on Fox.

I have a trade deficit with woman who used to own my house. I paid her thousands of dollars for her home and she paid me nothing. Now, all I have is a house worth thousand of dollars. I could have saved those thousands of dollars if I lived on a bench in the park. It's just simple Economics.

Don Jr was investigated and almost prosecuted for meeting w Russian contacts before the 2016 election. Now, they bankroll his wedding. Weirdly, none of the photos the Trump's released identified their patron, who are accused of child abductions in Ukraine and yet remain unsanctioned by the US.

Abdul El-Sayed: "Weijia, with all due respect, this is the third time you've asked about a Twitch streamer ... their whole game is to make us fight culture wars so that we don't pay attention to the fact the president has made $2.2 billion ... "

Mayors Giuliani and Bloomberg refused to tell the public the deadly truth about the toxic environment caused by 9/11. How many lives could have been saved if they had told the truth? Another terrible lesson in the need for honest leadership. open.substack.com/pub/america/...

Let's remember: / AG Todd Blanche still won't fully release the Epstein files, in violation of federal law. / Howard Lutnick is still Commerce secretary, despite blatantly lying about his Epstein ties. / Border czar Tom Homan still won't say what happened to the $50K he took in an FBI bribery sting.

Ron and Cassie DeSantis: These two crooks stole $10 million from a settlement with a charity, wired it to Cassie’s fake “charity,” laundered it through two puppet organizations, and then used it for political ads in an election year. They should be in jail.

Sen. Mark Kelly: "The president has spent a good portion of his adult life sitting on gold toilets and doesn't know what hardship is, and doesn't understand our service members. In fact, it's insulting what he said -- that the deployment wasn't long enough. He doesn't know sacrifice."

These questions have now been asked of Blanche repeatedly & he gives the same bullshit answer each time. Here’s an idea: How about we ask Blanche direct and pointed questions about his noncompliance with court orders from Judge Sullivan compelling him to provide unredacted Epstein Files?

WELKER: Can you pledge the DOJ will always act independently of the WH? BLANCHE: No, I'm not going to pledge that WELKER: So if the president asked you do to something that you feel crosses an ethical or legal line, would you do it? BLANCHE: He would never do that. He never has. He never will.

CapitalOne closed 300 of Trump’s accounts on suspicions of money laundering, so the Trump family just decided to start their own bank. Problem solved!

This needs to be scrutinized very closely. We will probably find that hundreds of millions, if not billions, of future contracts were executed in the couple of hours before Trump announced his latest unilateral ceasefire... and that this was done with people who had foreknowledge.

“The right has figured out something incredibly effective: if you can get people making $40k a year furious at those making $7/hour, then they won’t look at those making $40 million a year. Point down, not up.”
