Is somebody a little fruSTRAITed? Perhaps a certain Nobel Peace Prize *Whiner* shouldn’t have broken a major campaign promise by launching a TRUMP Forever War Quagmire Invasion of Choice in the Mideast. Perhaps it’s time for a nice, long vacation at relaxing Trump Tower Moscow?

Study: Tylenol doesn’t cause autism. One other thing this study tells us: Trump Admin is gonna get Americans sick (and dead) with conspiracy-based health policy, cutting Medicaid, skyrocketing health insurance premiums, & gutting human services. https://t.co/koJyZmEdil

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting, the independent nonprofit organization that distributed federal funds to PBS, NPR, public media programming and more than 1,500 public media stations across the country for nearly 60 years, voted Monday to dissolve itself.

The board’s vote in the new year came after Congress voted last summer, at the Trump administration’s request, to defund the corporation and claw back about $1.1 billion of federal funding for public broadcasting.

The corporation determined that remaining dormant without funding left the organization “vulnerable to future political manipulation or misuse, threatening the independence of public media and the trust audiences place in it,” according to a statement.

Since its inception with the enactment of the Public Broadcasting Act of 1967, the corporation has distributed funding to programs such as “Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood,” “Sesame Street,” films by Ken Burns and the PBS News Hour.

“For more than half a century, CPB existed to ensure that all Americans — regardless of geography, income, or background — had access to trusted news, educational programming, and local storytelling,” Patricia Harrison, the president and CEO of the corporation, said in the statement. “When the administration and Congress rescinded federal funding, our board faced a profound responsibility: CPB’s final act would be to protect the integrity of the public media system and the democratic values by dissolving, rather than allowing the organization to remain defunded and vulnerable to additional attacks.”

In its remaining time, the corporation said it would finish distributing its remaining funds, continue its support of the American Archive of Public Broadcasting’s digitization and preservation work. The corporation said its own archives will be preserved in partnership with the University of Maryland and made publicly available.

Instead of allowing the Justice Dept to release the Epstein Files (based on law), Trump forces the Defense Dept to capture foreign leaders (breaking laws).

Trump-appointed judge says TX must use old map for ‘26 midterms; gerrymandered map is racist. GOP rebuttal? Sure we’re racist, but in THIS case we were being fascist. Keep ur eyes on our prize: The goal is unlimited power; racism is a side beni. https://t.co/7xA1FEU6u2

When Trump makes the Oval Office into a hot tub room, walk-in closet, and McDonalds, and moves his office into the ballroom, will they still claim he’s a master builder?

[Rusty Stahl @rustystahl]

I bet Trump builds a mini-Trump Tower atop his ballroom. Moves his residence &/or office there. Hosts Putin overnight & names the Putin Bedroom. Sells units & uses earnings for his “reelection”. #AmericanCarnage #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

There’s no jobs report to show how the economy is doing. There’s no press in the Pentagon to tell us if the they’re keeping us safe. There’s no Reps in House to do oversight. Trump would rather Make America Carnage than admit he paid to r@pe teens and step down. #AmericanCarnage

The government is supposed to be shut down so Joe Biden can’t weaponize the Justice Department anymore… wait a MAGA Misdirection Minute, Batman!…. https://t.co/OyRu21C9ta

@joncoopertweets We need more nonprofit press — driven by a journalistic mission rather than profit margin.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

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. https://t.co/uts7JpJZzN

[Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris]

What we are witnessing is an outright abuse of power.

This administration is attacking critics and using fear as a weapon to silence anyone who would speak out. Media corporations — from television networks to newspapers — are capitulating to these threats.

We cannot dare to be silent or complacent in the face of this frontal assault on free speech.

We, the People, deserve better.

[Rep. Eric Swalwell @RepSwalwell]

In 1934, Germany passed a law making it a crime to tell jokes or laugh at its leaders.

We can’t go down that road. Because what’s next is you can’t post what you want on social media. And you can’t text your friends anything that might upset the government.

That’s not the way it should be. The people shouldn’t be afraid of their government. The government should be afraid of the people!
