The shady circumstances of the $8 billion Paramount/Skydance merger have let every other billionaire & company know that Trump is open for business—apparently happy to accept offers for favors. I’m calling for an urgent, independent investigation into this potential corruption.
Trump grants immunity to notorious child sex trafficker so his personal defense attorney can question her x.com/kfaulders/stat…
NEW - Ghislaine Maxwell, who sources told ABC News initiated the meetings with the Department of Justice, answered questions for about nine hours over two days after being granted a limited form of immunity, sources tell me & @AaronKatersky
Ghislaine Maxwell has previously been charged with lying under oath. It’s clear she cannot be trusted. What’s to stop her from lying again to protect Trump or other powerful people to get a pardon? The DOJ must release the Epstein files immediately.
Ghislaine Maxwell Attorney: We haven't spoken to the president or anybody about a pardon just yet. The president this morning said he had the power to do so and we hope he exercises that power in a right and just way.
Love this.
Left-hander Brandyn Garcia and right-hander Ashton Izzi are headed back to the Arizona Diamondbacks from the Seattle Mariners for first baseman Josh Naylor, sources tell ESPN. That's the full trade. And so begins deadline season. Buckle up.
This would be the greatest thing to happen to…the Democratic Party. McDonald, one of the most ethically challenged figures in NV history, had literally nothing to do with Trump’s ‘24 victory. He has presided, as the longest-serving GOP chair here, over massive GOP losses.
Hearing from sources that RNC chairman Michael McDonald in Nevada among those considered to lead the RNC now that Michael Whatley is running for NC Senate. McDonald helped deliver Trump the state of Nevada in 2024 which hadn't gone Republican since 2004.
Humility is hearing from the producers of two leading news shows to let you know that they'll no longer need your finely-honed economic analysis this afternoon because they're taking more Hulk Hogan coverage.
This once-independent FCC used its vast power to pressure Paramount to broker a private legal settlement and further erode press freedom. It is a dark chapter in a long and growing record of abuse that threatens press freedom in this country.
After months of cowardly capitulation to this Administration, Paramount finally got what it wanted. Now it's time for companies, journalists, and citizens alike to stand up and speak out, because unchecked and unquestioned power has no rightful place in America. I dissent. 🧵
Wow, amazing how the FCC’s concerns about the Skydance/Paramount merger went away immediately after they paid the president a bribe, what a coincidence!
The replies to this lineup are blistering.
Down in Cali to take on the Halos 😇
The first submission for redistricting TX Congressional districts has some serious gerrymanding to remove Democrats' seats and destroy cities' influence in US politics. A few examples:
One of the first things Vladimir Putin did on becoming president was take over NTV, the TV channel that hosted a satirical puppet show because he didn't like the Putin doll and how he was portrayed. He arrested NTV's owner and only released him when he signed the channel over.…
Not a fan of Hakeem Jeffries at the moment.
Hakeem Jeffries again declines to endorse Zohran Mamdani, saying "I don't know him well." CHRIS HAYES: Why are you not endorsing the guy that won the democratic primary in a contested election in your backyard? JEFFRIES: I didn't get involved in that primary election, and I…
A teen who was 6m pregnant died after being denied care in three different Texas emergency rooms. She started to miscarry on the morning of her baby shower. They had to "confirm fetal demise" before treating her. It was too late. propublica.org/article/nevaeh…
