Had an affair with her source and all she got was a book deal, a cushy Vanity Fair editing gig and a year off. Real tough to be “exiled” these days

All this sucking up to Israel and Trump is getting all the credit. Like what is the point to keep at it? Bibi nor any Israel official is going to praise the Dems over Trump.

I seem to recall that it was the biggest 1st Amendment attack in American history when the Biden admin alerted social media companies to some content and said "hey does this violate your policies?" Will Matt Taibbi, Michael Shellenberger and (lol) CBS News Editor in Chief Bari Weiss call this out?

Tweet from Pam Bondi:

Today following outreach from
@thejusticedept
, Facebook removed a large group page that was being used to dox and target
@ICEgov
agents in Chicago.

The wave of violence against ICE has been driven by online apps and social media campaigns designed to put ICE officers at risk just for doing their jobs. The Department of Justice will continue engaging tech companies to eliminate platforms where radicals can incite imminent violence against federal law enforcement.

Sorry bro. I'm over here reviewing four new games coming out soon on top of me wanting desperately to finish MGS5 that I started up again after beating Death Stranding 2. Thankfully I just beat Expedition 33 after starting that up on the day it launched.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

The fact that he keeps bringing up the test confirms he failed the test.
