Listen for yourself. On his infamous Georgia call, Trump didn't care about "voter fraud." He only cared about "finding" the exact number of votes he needed to overturn Georgia's election results.

A new Senate Judiciary Committee report found that Clarence Thomas failed to disclose two luxury vacations bankrolled by billionaire Harlan Crow — even after he amended his past disclosure filings. He's a national disgrace.

CBS just fired longtime 60 Minutes correspondent Scott Pelley after he spoke out against the network's Trumpian turn under Bari Weiss and the Ellisons. Make no mistake: Trump is using the power of the state to help his billionaire pals control the media.

Stephen Colbert aired his final show last night after Paramount fired him to appease Trump. The Ellisons are now eyeing Warner Bros — and Trump's eager to give it to them. His media takeover is happening in broad daylight. Here's what we can do about it.

Journalist Edward R. Murrow used his platform on CBS to criticize the witch hunts led by Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s. This is what real journalism should do — hold power to account, not capitulate to it.
