Broadcasters that are running hoaxes and news distortions - also known as the fake news - have a chance now to correct course before their license renewals come up.
The law is clear. Broadcasters must operate in the public interest, and they will lose their licenses if they do not.
And frankly, changing course is in their own business interests since trust in legacy media has now fallen to an all time low of just 9% and are ratings disasters.
The American people have subsidized broadcasters to the tune of billions of dollars by providing free access to the nation’s airwaves.
It is very important to bring trust back into media, which has earned itself the label of fake news.
When a political candidate is able to win a landslide election victory after in the face of hoaxes and distortions, there is something very wrong. It means the public has lost faith and confidence in the media. And we can’t allow that to happen.
Time for change!

Rising grocery prices resulting from Trump’s failure to keep his biggest promise will hit all of us — no matter who we voted for.
Remember this at the Thanksgiving table this year.

The media tends to regurgitate Trump’s words as if they were news.
They aren’t news. They’re postures. His words and thoughts add nothing to our understanding of anything. Yet the media reproduces them as if they did.

The Supreme Court today questioned Trump's use of emergency powers to levy tariffs.
Perhaps they're finally realizing what the rest of us already know.
Other countries aren't paying for the tariffs. We are.

AOC: We have a future to fight for, and we're either going to do that together or you're going to be left behind. It's not about Progressive. It's not moderate, it's not liberal. This is about do you understand the assignment of fighting fascism right now? And the assignment is you come together…

Hasan: The great irony is of course that Donald Trump is the son of an immigrant. The grandson of an immigrant and married to an immigrant. In fact two of his three wives were immigrants, proving yet again that immigrants will do the jobs that even Americans are not willing to do.

Toward the end of this video, Leavitt suggests the troops should be activated because some community members have complained about “civil disobedience.”

Houston has 10X the murders of SF.
Dallas’ murder rate is nearly DOUBLE LA’s.
Texas’ homicide rate overall is 39% HIGHER than California’s.
Would focus on your lawless state, Greg, before sending troops to ours.

MAGA told us over and over again that Milei was bringing “prosperity” to Argentina.
They used the MAGA propaganda machine to highlight his austerity policies as a model for the U.S.
Now that the outcome has been devastating, they are making the U.S. bail out their failed experiment.
Yesterday, @POTUS and I spoke extensively with President @JMilei and his senior team in New York. As President Trump has stated, we stand ready to do what is needed to support Argentina and the Argentine people.
Under President Milei, Argentina has taken important strides toward stabilization. He has achieved impressive fiscal consolidation and a broad liberalization of prices and restrictive regulations, laying the foundation for Argentina’s historic return to prosperity.
The @USTreasury stands ready to purchase Argentina’s USD bonds and will do so as conditions warrant. We are also prepared to deliver significant stand-by credit via the Exchange Stabilization Fund, and we have been in active discussions with President Milei’s team to do so.
The Treasury is currently in negotiations with Argentine officials for a $20 billion swap line with the Central Bank. We are working in close coordination with the Argentine government to prevent excessive volatility.
In addition, the United States stands ready to purchase secondary or primary government debt and we are working with the Argentine government to end the tax holiday for commodity producers converting foreign exchange.
Argentina has the tools to defeat speculators, including those who seek to destabilize Argentina’s markets for political objectives. I have also been in touch with numerous US companies who intend to make substantial foreign direct investments in Argentina multiple sectors in the event of a positive election outcome.
The Trump Administration is resolute in our support for allies of the United States, and President Trump has given President Milei a rare endorsement of a foreign official, showing his confidence in his government’s economic plans and the geopolitical strategic importance of the relationship between the United States and Argentina. Immediately after the election, we will start working with the Argentine government on its principal repayments.
I will be watching developments closely, and the Treasury remains fully prepared to do what is necessary.

The people who were killed were detainees—not ICE.
Maybe wait a beat before trying to capitalize on every tragedy?
You’re the Vice President of the United States. Not a random shit poster.

RFK Jr putting farmers out of business. Then add Trump’s tariffs killing exports, USAID dismantling, fertilizer & tractor tariffs, etc etc
This is the most anti-farmer admin in US history and the vast majority of them voted for it. Please don’t ask for a taxpayer bailout. Again.
