AOC responded on X. “I represent LaGuardia Airport as well as workers for JFK. Trump gutted the Aviation Safety committee last week,” she wrote. “Air traffic controllers—already understaffed—got Trump’s ‘buyout’ this week with a 1 week ultimatum to decide. It’s not DEI—it’s him. And Elon too.” https://newrepublic.com/post/190969/aoc-trump-lies-dc-plane-crash

untanky#uspol There is no #President#Trump in the #USA. The USA was a constitutional republic. The #Constitution that defines it prohibits him from holding *any office* in the #USgov. Look at the "Insurrection Clause". It doesn't require a conviction, only that the person be involved. We know he was involved. It's a matter of public record. To imagine that an unprovable "popular win" is some kind of magic spell that undoes the Constitution is un-American. To call a #criminal squatting in the White House "President" is un-American. To speak of his "executive orders" and other "official acts" as valid is un-American.
Either America has no President (that would be unpresidented 😅) or this criminal is "President" of some kind of Not America. If they publicly treat the criminals as "official" or comply with their illegal orders, Americans aid and abet this treason.
Many Americans, in the military, police forces, or certain public offices, have sworn an #inductionoath to "protect, preserve and defend the Constitution of the United States." Where are they? At least some of them are wholly in the tank for the traitors. Where are the rest? What good is the world's most #expensive#military if it can't be bothered to #stopthecoup? 🙃
Regardless of the lawsuit’s merit, #Trump’s admin wields leverage. #Paramount owns broadcasting licenses, & it needs the blessing of the #FCC to complete its planned merger w/ #Skydance.
People inside Paramount have been expecting the FCC, which is now led by a Trump appointee, #BrendanCarr, to request that #CBS News hand over an unedited transcript of its interview w/ #KamalaHarris…. CBS had refused previous requests from Trump’s lawyers to release the transcript.
Edward Paltzik, #Trump’s lawyer on the case, wrote in a statement on Thurs: “Real accountability for #CBS & #Paramount will ensure that the president is compensated for the *harm* done to him, & will deter the *Fake News* from further *distorting* the *facts* to advance a partisan agenda. President Trump looks forward to seeing this case through to a *just* conclusion.”
[read: nothing, real news, reporting, truth, unjust]
#Trump declined to be interviewed by the program during last year’s presidential race. In 2020, Trump…[stormed out of] an interview w/ #LesleyStahl after becoming irritated w/her questions; his campaign then posted unfiltered footage from the interview online [which just showed him acting like a spoiled petulant man-baby].
Read Judge Lewis A. Kaplan’s filing clarifying that in NY the definitions for “Sexual Abuse” & “rape” is a legal distinction without a real-world difference. He said that what the jury found #Trump did was in fact #rape, as commonly understood. Read Judge Kaplan’s original clarification here:
#Trump sued #CBS for $10B days before the 2024 election, accusing the company of deceptively editing a #60Minutes interview w/VP #KamalaHarris, many #legal experts dismissed the litigation as a far-fetched attempt to punish an out-of-favor news outlet.
Now Trump is back in the WH, & execs at CBS’s parent company, #Paramount, believe #settling the lawsuit would increase the odds that the Trump admin does not block or delay their planned multibillion-dollar #merger….
#ShariRedstone, Paramount’s controlling shareholder, strongly supports the effort to settle…. Redstone stands to clear billions of dollars on the sale of Paramount… in a deal w/ #Skydance, an entertainment company backed by the #billionaire#LarryEllison & run by his son #DavidEllison.
Major tragedy occurs in America on #Trump's watch. Trump turns to racism and misogyny using "DEI" as code. When asked, he admits that he has no evidence, just his bigotry that he labels "common sense."
Corporate Media parrot his statements without mentioning what is actually going on. #CorporateMedia is legitimizing racism, misogyny, xenophobia and other forms of bigotry in their ratings-obsessed coverage of this regime. #Corporate#Media works for the #oligarchs and furthers #oligarchy.
