Padilla gave this speech on the floor pretty much as the news of Brad Lander's arrest in New York was breaking. Two Democratic lawmakers tackled and handcuffed by federal law enforcement in the span of a week.

Every day that major media fail to clearly declare that the president is out of his mind and is building a dictatorship is a day when they are betraying their duty to the American people.

I'm not sure people heard what our crazy president said HE SAID "CHEAT LIKE HELL" The president of the United States of America just told his supporters to cheat and offered a $5,000 bribe. THIS IS NOT NORMAL!

Sky News Launches Defense-News App to Engage Subscribers with Expert Analysis and Exclusive Content
Sky News, a division of Comcast, has launched a new mobile application called 'Defence Insider' focused on defense and security topics. The app, priced at £14.99 per month (approximately $20.31), offers subscribers video reporting, expert briefings, interviews with defense experts, access to live events, and the ability to directly interact with journalists and analysts. This initiative represents a strategic move by legacy media to compete with independent creators and podcasts by providing a 'walled garden' of content that is human-generated and free from the distractions of social media platforms. Andrew Thomson, executive director of business operations at Sky News, emphasized that the app aims to provide high-level analysis 'right in the palm of their hands' for consumers who trust and respect established news brands. The app is not intended to compete with specialist publications like Jane's Defence Weekly but targets defense industry professionals, public sector employees, and policy audiences. Jane Ferguson, founder of Noosphere, a creator media company, described Sky News' 'Defence Weekly' as 'the first true architecture' for legacy media to implement direct-to-consumer models. Ferguson noted that mainstream news organizations are increasingly concerned about talent leaving for third-party platforms like podcasts and Substack, and this app offers journalists the opportunity to work in a more entrepreneurial fashion while remaining with a respected brand. The app's technology allows subscribers to select specific experts they wish to query and receive tailored responses, with content curated and checked before publication. This approach aims to create new revenue streams for legacy media while maintaining the quality and exclusivity of their content. MS NOW, another major news organization, has also introduced a 'Membership' subscription product that allows customers to interact directly with anchors like Rachel Maddow and Stephanie Ruhle. The initiative reflects a broader trend in media where traditional outlets are adapting to attract younger audiences who prefer digital platforms and are increasingly trusting individual anchors and creators over traditional news brands. Sky News' strategy is part of a larger effort to diversify revenue and engage audiences in deeper, more personalized ways, while also addressing concerns about AI scraping content by keeping it within a controlled environment.
