  Pay the consequences?

  There is a 103% chance that Trump threatens to use the DOJ to block the Netflix-Warner Brothers deal and clear a path for his buddies at Paramount if they don't fire Rice. (even higher percentage chance that he actually does it with or without an explicit threat)

• @lucas_shaw Lucas Shaw on x

  Netflix has been saying the DOJ's review of its WB deal is a normal merger review. A leaked document suggests otherwise.

• @cgasparino Charles Gasparino on x

  BREAKING— This just further confirms what I reported — that @netflix denied— there is a Section 2 Sherman Act monopolization inquiry into @netflix's business model, as from DOJ investigation of its proposed deal to buy @wbd. A Trump Administration regulatory office speaking on

  Perfect timing , Get Rid of $NFLX @DOJCrimDiv They already have an Anti-trust Lawsuit already sitting with Backroom deals with $META Investigate their Executives and former executives

• @newenglanddlm Doug on x

  https://www.bloomberg.com/... This feels like David Ellison's Hail Mary. Can he spook WBD's board and shareholders? I doubt it, given they knew this deal would face scrutiny when they signed it.

  I'm as willing to dunk on big tech companies as anyone, but douchebag needs to shut his damn mouth.

  Republicans, and specifically Trump, have ZERO credibility whatsoever on antitrust and competition issues.  Absolutely nothing they do in this regard is actually in the public interest.  —  but you'll notice that's simply not going to be mentioned (literally AT ALL) by the corpor…

  Netflix @netflix Board Member Susan Rice @AmbassadorRice says corporations who took a “knee to Trump” will face an “accountability agenda” from elected Democrats if they win the midterms in 2026 and the 2028 Presidential election. Does Netflix stand by their Board Member [video]

• @senadamschiff Adam Schiff on x

  A president does not dictate what speech is allowed. A president does not dictate who a company can hire or fire or have sit on their board. A president does not dictate when a merger pleases him and when it does not. Only a dictator does. And we will not allow one in the [image]

• @matthewstoller Matt Stoller on x

  And Wall Street Dems move in. Obviously a President can and should make decisions about mergers, not speech. Conflating the two is shallow fraudulent thinking, it is one path from Dems, and it will cause the end of America.

• @tedcruz Ted Cruz on x

  This is a very good point. Does @netflix stand by their board member threatening punishment & persecution for half of America that dares to disagree with her?

  President Trump now corruptly threatening “consequences” for Netflix if it doesn't fire a board member over her political speech, putting a thumb on scale for Ellison-owned Paramount in bidding war for Warner Bros. (CNN's owner) www.mediamatters.org/cnn/paramoun...  [image]

  Trump Demands Netflix Fire Susan Rice because she said things he doesn't like.  Trump and GOP want to control every part of our lives —from what we can say about Trump to subjects allowed to be taught in schools to the jokes comedians can tell on TV.  This is what a FASCIST movem…

  Another instance showing that Donald Trump is the whiniest, saddest, most petulant little crybaby ever to hold high office.  —  I'd tell him to cry harder but I'm not sure it's possible.  [embedded post]
