President Donald Trump, in a new Truth Social rant, bashed a report of a new plan by the Federal Communications Commission that would allow alleged anti-Trump television networks to mergeNewsmax reported on Sunday that FCC Chair Brendan Carr, a staunch Trump ally, is “pushing through a mega-merger of the anti-Trump group Nextstar.” Nexstar owns several local NBC, ABC, and CBS affiliate stations nationwide. The company is currently in the process of acquiring TEGNA for roughly $6. 2 billion, a move that would put Nexstar above the “network ownership cap,” a federal law from the Reagan administration that prohibits TV stations from reaching more than 39% of U. S. households. “If this would also allow the Radical Left Networks to ‘enlarge,’ I would not be happy,” Trump posted on Truth Social. “ABC & NBC, in particular, are a disaster A VIRTUAL ARM OF THE DEMOCRAT PARTY. They should be viewed as an illegal campaign to the Radical Left. NO EXPANSION OF THE FAKE NEWS NETWORKS. If anything, make them SMALLER.”.

Trump Signals Civil Tone Ahead of Meeting With NYC’s Zohran Mamdani
When Sen. Bob Menendez (D-N. J.) had his home raided over an alleged bribery scheme, investigators found gold bars. Now, a gold bar has been handed to President Donald Trump by Swiss billionaires visiting the White House. Not long after, tariffs on Switzerland were cut. The engraved gold bar, coupled with a $130,000 Rolex desk clock, may not be the reason Trump “decided to slash 39 percent tariffs on Swiss imports to 15 percent,” but it is raising questions. The Guardian reported Friday that Pasquale Tridico, an Italian MEP, was “disgusted” by the move.“This is really awful,” he said. It seems to be a case of “making foreign policy the policy of individuals.”Swiss Green Party president, Lisa Mazzone, called out “the Swiss elite” for being “poisoned” by Trump’s “corrupt logic.”“It is unacceptable that the federal council is relying on the help of an economic elite that represents private interests and lacks democratic legitimacy in its negotiations with the US president,” she added. None of the items were reported until “internet sleuths” began tracing the origins of the new clock on Trump’s Oval Office desk, the report said. They pored over photos and ultimately found the one showing seven Swiss billionaires. The billionaires called it “a modest, refined expression of traditional Swiss watchmaking,” said The Guardian. “Trump loves being fawned over by billionaires. It’s terrible that one has to shower the US president with gold to get Switzerland back on his agenda,” deputy editor-in-chief of CH Media, Doris Kleck, told radio station “bz Basel.”The White House claimed that the gold bar and Rolex had nothing to do with the tariff cuts. Instead, Trump’s staff said that the deal came about after the Swiss pledged “$200 billion to make and hire in America.”Under U. S. rules, such gifts become the property of the government and are placed in the National Archives unless the president buys them or has them displayed in a museum or presidential library.

“For the Trump administration to not give a bonus to every single one of these hardworking women and men is wrong; they all deserve a bonus and back pay.”.
The Trump administration is steaming forward on its plan to dismantle the Education Department. Many state and local education leaders say they are bracing for disruption and new bureaucratic hurdles. Education Secretary Linda McMahon insists there will be no disruption as she begins offloading some of her agency’s biggest functions to four other federal departments. She has promised to keep federal money flowing. She says students will benefit as the government reduces its bureaucratic footprint and gives more power to state and local communities. But the plan has drawn pushback from some state and district leaders, who see no benefit and no hope for a seamless transition.
Donald Trump, who presents himself as a free speech champion, sure loves suing the media for their First Amendment-protected speech. CNN is a favorite target of his though these lawsuits don’t do particularly well. Back in 2022, he sued CNN for calling Trump’s lies about the results of the 2020 election “The Big Lie.” Two [.].
