Thank you for this.

It’s also worth noting the consolidation of media under billionaires is killing our free press.

Thanks for letting me know! Some accounts I follow still have the audio feature for written articles, so I thought it was an author option. I often listen while driving and love that feature. 😃

It’s driving me crazy because I listen to my subscriptions too — it’s not affecting every account but it’s still frustrating. I think it’s been over 2 weeks for me

It seems like now is not the first time government leaders have tried to trample the Constitution for their own political gain. It's just the first time the other branches--the "checks and balances"--have sat back and allowed it to happen.

Well written and cogent to the current happenings in DC today. It is ,simply put, just more Christian Nationalist news control tactics that do nothing but obscure the truth to the detriment of we , the electors, of who we want as our representatives in national government today and every year to come. We must stand by our observance of the principles outlined in our founding documents that have been our guide for these past 250 years or we will only end up being like the countries of the world who seem content to be governed by despots and tyrants. Need I tell you who they are ? I think you already know that answer.

Let's be strong in our resolve to make a more perfect union in our country by insisting on adherence to the laws that are existing that insure civil rights for all people regardless of race ,color or creed and guarantee the promise of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness always in our country. The current regime in DC is a scourge on our democracy and must be stopped or we will become more like the corrupt despotic countries in the world that keep their citizens continually in the dark and subjected to repression and suffocating rule.
