Trump says the war is going great and the “bully of the Middle East” is no longer in charge. We’re not buying slogans, so we pull the thread on what “going great” is supposed to mean when U.S. munitions stockpiles are thinning, regional bases are taking hits, and the Strait of Hormuz still looks anything but normal for global shipping.

First, is it true that “No One Cares About Crazy People” – the title of both Gail Freedman’s important new documentary and the bestselling book by Ron Powers that inspired it?

ABC has sued the Federal Communications Commission, alleging the Trump administration’s sustained regulatory threats and action against the network “chilled” its editorial discretion. Americans long disgruntled with legacy media’s credibility failures should still welcome ABC’s legal offensive to protect free speech against government overreach. The lawsuit filed Tuesday in federal court in Washington, D.C., claims the FCC’s attack against the network “escalated into express demands that ABC be stripped of its broadcast licenses because of its speech” and that ABC is forced to choose between “independent editorial judgment” or risking its “valuable broadcast licenses.” The media company launched an on-air…
