After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like. yahoo.com/news/articles/let-…

Governor @GavinNewsom isn’t holding back.

BREAKING: Gavin Newsom just announced that he is going to be fighting fire with fire. There’s no stopping California redistricting. Democrats are going on offense. Let’s go.

Gavin Newsom just released this amazing ad sounding the alarm on Trump’s attack on our democracy. This is serious. It’s real. If you’re in California, VOTE IN FAVOR OF THE MAPS ON NOVEMBER 4TH! THANK YOU!
Niki Frantzeskaki retweeted
It’s no coincidence that we stand here today, at the Democracy Center, with Trump's ICE agents standing outside as we speak.
Is this a threat to you, @realDonaldTrump? Are you scared of what happens when the people of this state come together to make our voices heard?

BREAKING: President Obama held a call with Texas Democrats today. In the call he thanked them for blocking Republicans' gerrymandering efforts.

BREAKING: Fed Chair Jerome Powell predicted just a month ago that Trump’s tariffs would be to blame for rising costs. Sure enough, it came true. It turns out Powell is far smarter than Trump could ever be.

🔻 Πίσω από το σκάνδαλο του ΟΠΕΚΕΠΕ είναι μια εγκληματική οργάνωση με Φραπέδες και Χασάπηδες την οποία είδαμε παραταγμένη στο ίδιο τραπέζι. Έκαναν εξαγορά συνειδήσεων, όπως λέει η ίδια η ευρωπαία εισαγγελέας.
🔻 Θεωρώ ότι υπάρχει αλλοίωση του αποτελέσματος το 2023. Τελεία και παύλα. Το επιβεβαιώνει και ο πρωθυπουργός, «για μερικές ψήφους», εγώ λέω για χιλιάδες ψήφους.
🔻 Δύο χρόνια κουβεντιάζεται στις Βρυξέλλες αυτό το σκάνδαλο. Οι κυβερνώντες ένιωθαν τόσο ασφαλείς ότι έλεγχαν το κράτος, που εμείς ακούγαμε ότι υπήρχε θέμα στον ΟΠΕΚΕΠΕ, και δεν γινόταν τίποτα.
🔻 Όσους κι αν αλλάξει ο κύριος Μητσοτάκης, πρέπει να φύγει ο κύριος Μητσοτάκης. Predator, Τέμπη, ΟΠΕΚΕΠΕ. Φταίνε όλοι οι άλλοι και όχι ο παραπλανημένος πρωθυπουργός;
🔻 Δεν καταλαβαίνω γιατί δεν παρεμβαίνει η ελληνική δικαιοσύνη αυτεπαγγέλτως. Τι πάει να πει αυτό που λέει η κα Αδειλίνη ότι «ασχολείται η ευρωπαία εισαγγελέας, δεν ασχολούμαστε εμείς»; Εξαπάτησαν τους φορολογούμενους.
🔻 Η κυβέρνηση εκθέτει τη χώρα. Υπάρχουν κι άλλες δικογραφίες στο δρόμο. Και εξετάζεται το θέμα του Ταμείου Ανάκαμψης, όπου είναι πολλά τα λεφτά. Στην επιτροπή LIBE του ΕΚ έγινε συζήτηση την προηγούμενη εβδομάδα για το κράτος δικαίου στην Ελλάδα. Σας είπε κανείς ότι επειδή δεν βγαίνουν τα θέματα εδώ, δεν συζητιούνται;
🔻 Οδηγούν τη χώρα πάλι σε χρεωκοπία και τολμούν να μιλάνε για αυτόν που μας έβγαλε από τη χρεωκοπία.
🔻 Είναι ντροπή να υπάρχει νόμος περί ευθύνης υπουργών που αντίκειται πλήρως στον ευρωπαϊκό κανονισμό.
🔻Από την παρέμβασή μου στο Καλημέρα Ελλάδα του ΑΝΤΕΝΝΑ με τον Γιώργο Παπαδάκη.

BREAKING: State Senator Mallory McMorrow just perfectly explained how Donald Trump’s big, beautiful bill is the largest transfer of wealth from the lower class to the wealthiest 1%. This is exactly the message that all Americans need to hear right now.

German Chancellor: "May I remind you that we are having June 6 tomorrow. This is the D-Day anniversary."
Trump: "Not a pleasant day for you. That was not a great day."
German Chancellor: "This was the liberation of my country from Nazi dictatorship."

Het kabinet Wilders-Yesilgöz blijft ruziën over steun aan Oekraïne, defensie en samenwerking in Europa. Het leidt tot stilstand.
Er is nu leiderschap nodig dat beschermt wat we liefhebben. Daarom presenteren wij ons plan voor een veilig Nederland.
