They're finally writing about America's largest landholder, oligarch John Malone and his plans for more monopolistic media acquisitions and consolidation for control now that nothing stands in his way. hollywoodreporter.com/business/busin…
Shocking, but not surprising. Musk put more than $130M of his own money into this election, and he'll expect to get his money's worth. I think he'll be calling a lot of the shots in the Musk-Trump administration.

She's right. Rather than directly addressing the needs of their own base, Democrats tried to seduce Never Trumpers instead. All 3 of them.

Wonder how the GOP establishment feel about some random ex Dem conspiracy theorist controlling their party now lol

All of you folks who said Israel has a ‘right to defend itself,’ all of you people who said ‘But Hamas!’ in response to anything and everything, all of you who backed this stuff, this is on you, and the blood of these babies is on your hands. History will not forgive or forget.

They're all sucking up to Dear Leader because they see the opportunity for even more capital consolidation now. No more Lina Khans to get in the way as the centi-billionaires become trillionaires.
The explosion of California's #MountainFire as seen on satellite. It already covers over 1,000 acres and wind gusts between 45-70 mph continue to fan the flames No a good situation
⚠️UPDATE⚠️The fire has jumped SR-118 west of Somis and there are now MANDATORY evacuations south of SR-118. Check vcemergency.com for up to the minute details on the #MountainFire.

An extremely dangerous and life-threatening situation is unfolding with the #MountainFire tearing through the Camarillo Heights neighborhood in Ventura County, California. Wind gusts of up to 75 mph are pushing the fire so rapidly that firefighters are unable to protect homes.
Based on proposals made during Trump's first term in office, here are just some of the things working class Americans can expect from the second Trump administration: propublica.org/article/donald…
Truly do not understand how many liberals cannot put together that normalizing conservative views, believe it or not…strengthens conservatives!

We will stop Trump’s dangerous attacks. We will shift what’s politically possible. And we will transform the Democratic Party into a fighting force that can defeat Trumpism and win a Green New Deal. Join us tonight to talk about our plan for how to do it: smvmt.org/dayafter
Many will endure hardships. For me (and committed colleagues), it means the struggle to defend science + counter antiscience forces becomes more complicated/daunting. This time we’ll need better support from the societies, college presidents, elected leaders who care. Tough times
I really need to know how a dude who explicitly told people they didn’t need to vote won a supposedly record breaking turnout election. What did he know that we didn’t??

BREAKING: Democratic candidate Kamala Harris has called President-elect Donald Trump to concede defeat in the #USElection2024, say reports citing one of Harris’s aides. 🗳️ LIVE updates: aje.io/98zlm2
Despite all the chatter, Trump didn't really gain with black voters nationwide: 86% Harris, 12% Trump. Unchanged from 2020 when 87% of black voters went for Biden, 12% went for Trump. Black men? Static. 78-20% in 2024, 79-19% in 2020.
It’s overtime in the battle for the House. Here’s where things stand: Projected/expected winners: 🔴 Republicans: 210 🔵 Democrats: 200 🟡 Remainder: 25 Rs lead in most of the uncalled CA House races, though there’s expected to be a blue shift — but how much is crucial/unknown
