Another act of self-censorship to serve business interests.
Another capitulation.
In the guise of advancing “personal liberty” the Washington Post will constrain the liberty of its editors to publish opinions not advancing its owner’s business interests.

Food costs, health care and housing costs, are already at an all-time high.
Instead of working to lower these expenses, Republicans want to give billionaires and big corporations yet another tax break.
That’s just not right.
Donald Trump's America is about getting what you want… if you’ve got billions to spend:
Citizenship, for a few million.
A tax cut for your corporation, if you've given a few million.
Even U.S. military protection, if you’ll give up mineral rights worth a few billion.
Anything for a buck.
The near miss on a tarmac in Chicago is small part of a much, much bigger problem. Here's what's happening:

Kash Patel just became acting director of the ATF.
He has zero experience managing others in the fight against gun violence and violent crime––though he did manage to produce music with a choir of violent criminals.
The NRA is celebrating. And the American people will suffer.
Republicans are slashing health care and funding for special education.
Why?
To give more $$ to large corporations in a tax cut. And less to help Californians who need it.
Laying off IRS employees auditing wealthy and corporate tax cheats is great for them, and bad for the rest of us.
1 in 7 families in California rely on SNAP.
That’s less than $7 a day to help afford increasingly expensive food.
$7 can barely buy a dozen eggs right now.
And, remarkably, Republicans want to lower that number to pay for tax cuts for corporate donors.
Unconscionable.
I'll have a few minutes after votes tonight to talk about some of the events of the day on video. What do you want to know?
The Justice Department is not the president's personal law firm. You are not his lawyers.
The free press should be exactly that — free. If the facts they report don’t align with the president’s propaganda, tough.
And this statement is a disgrace to the DOJ and the rule of law.
Instead, we must reaffirm our support for Ukraine on a bipartisan basis, continue to provide the crucial assistance that Ukraine needs to defend itself, and work hand-in-hand with our European allies to defend the sovereign rights of all nations.
The U.S. Senate must not yield, must not abandon Ukraine in its hour of greatest need, and must not sew further doubt about America’s willingness to abide by our commitments to Europe and NATO.
Trump and his team are deliberately undermining Ukraine’s negotiating position in potential talks with Russia, bringing shame upon the United States and eviscerating our standing in the world.
But now, we have a president who is betraying our democratic ally, spouting Kremlin talking points, falsely blaming Ukraine for the war and casting doubt on the legitimacy of President Zelenskyy’s leadership.
In response to Russia’s unprovoked aggression, we have stood shoulder to shoulder with Ukraine. We mobilized unprecedented support and rallied our partners around the world to help preserve Ukraine’s sovereignty and ensure that Russia does not threaten NATO.
Three years ago today, Russia launched a brutal invasion of Ukraine and ignited the worst fighting in Europe since World War II.
The Ukrainian people have stood their ground, paying an immense toll to defend their country and democracy. 🧵
The most shameful betrayal of an ally by a U.S. President in modern history.
Selecting another right-wing Fox personality and internet troll — Dan Bongino — as Deputy FBI Director means two things:
Trump installs another loyalist who won’t say no to any immoral or unethical act.
And our law enforcement agencies — and the public safety — are further degraded.
United States support for Ukraine was never about securing mineral rights.
Or providing security for money.
It was about democracy and sovereignty. And a willingness to defend our allies and oppose our enemies.
Trump is betraying Ukraine, but also our values. Our history and our legacy.
Donald Trump promised to let Elon Musk self-police his conflicts of interest.
The result?
Those investigating his companies have been fired.
Cases against his companies have been dismissed.
The corrupt self-dealing is staggering.
