Legacy news is in freefall, with ratings plummeting and more Americans opting to turn away from traditional mainstream news sources. And to make things worse, the Trump administration is ready to kick it while it’s down, slashing funding to public broadcasting altogether. Why? Because informed citizens are inconvenient when you're trying to run a disinformation campaign from the Oval Office. As Americans turn away from traditional outlets and toward independent media, we ask: what’s next? Can th...

Why is everyone so scared of Donald Trump? Let's dive into the troubling trend of institutions bending the knee to the orange overlord. From major law firms cutting shady deals to stay in Trump’s good graces (and losing real clients in the process), to media outlets softening coverage, playing the “both sides” game, or settling lawsuits they should have fought, cowardice is the word of the day. And it doesn’t stop there. Social media companies have started implementing Trump’s whims like he’s th...

Meanwhile, he's slashing programs that actually help people, like healthcare, food assistance, and housing support, because apparently the only thing worth funding is his own bottom line. Le...
