The first thing Trump did when running for election was to disparage the press. He told 60 Minutes correspondent Leslie Stahl after his 2016 election win that he bashes the press to “demean” and “discredit” reporters so that no one will believe negative stories about him. 1/3

Trump says he's also looking at banning the Washington Post, calling it a "crummy paper" and "disgusting."

Anyway, good job, Jeff Bezos! It obviously was worth losing all those scubsribers and turning your opinion section into MAGA-lite, only for the president to continue to call you "fake news."

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $8 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of American households is worth just $4.27 trillion.

Read that back.

The Supreme Court's "shadow docket" allows justices to effectively make rulings in secret without explaining their decisions.

Is it any wonder why so many do not trust the Roberts court?

The judge asked the govt if the Kennedy Center is going bankrupt. You should've seen them backpedal

Why so fast? If it's broke, a court puts someone else in charge & they lose control of it

They hate the Bill of Rights because freedom is a threat to people in government who want to hide the truth about what they are doing from the American people. So they behave like tyrants because that is what they are. Vote this party out of power.

No matter how hard you lie, the truth always comes out.

In violation of both the First Amendment and the Fifth Amendment to the US Constitution , the felon Donald Trump states he will ban CNN, MS Now, and Politico reporters from the White House. If he goes through with the ban, he is sure to suffer yet another court case.
