The FCC approved massive Gulf sovereign investment in the Paramount-Warner deal, while formally barring those investors from influencing content. With this much money and media power intertwined, the question deserves scrutiny: what comes back the other way? #TDS

I wish my mom and dad were alive to see this Tucker Carlson. They spent their final years believing the world Fox and Tucker sold them. Our family was divided in anger. We weren’t the only family. I wish he’d done it when they were still here. Oh, the damage he's done to America and abroad.

During negotiations over a 50% tariff, Trump sent Brazil a 21-point proposal that included a demand concerning participation of “political dissidents” in Brazil’s 2026 election. This ties a major economic penalty to a request touching another country’s domestic political process. #Trump #TDS

A federal judge has tightened judicial control over DOJ’s handling of the Epstein files.
This moves the matter beyond arguments about whether DOJ released enough material. The court itself will now be able to examine disputed underlying records and test DOJ’s withholding explanations.

This is the first comprehensive CBO accounting tying the war not only to federal spending, but also to depleted U.S. munitions, future military readiness and measurable inflation risk.

Trump’s pattern: race ahead on AI despite safety warnings, retreat from climate commitments, and push deep FEMA cuts. NATO is more nuanced: he has pressured allies to spend more. The common thread is immediate leverage over long-term systemic risk.
