9NEWS has obtained a copy of the Trump DOJ's request to take custody of Tina Peters.
Colorado's Department of Corrections redacted a large portion of the request, claiming its disclosure would be "contrary to public interest."

if my mother had wanted a better reaction than "most people only get one face, you've had four," she should've told me she was having major surgery.

Enten: "Trump's net approval rating is at -15 -- the lowest it has been during his entire second term... the Democratic lead on the generic ballot has widened. Trump's political position has worsened. I don't think how you can look at both and conclude anything other than that Dems won the shutdown"

Since Trump really start declining in early June nothing he and his regime have done have been able to stop his fall. He just keeps dropping. It's pretty remarkable.

Here are just a few of the things the Boring Company may not have wanted to be asked about at an actual “town hall” — instead opting for a virtual audio-only Spaces event about the nashville tunnel they then immediately deleted.

Yes, HID headlights are very bright but the bigger problem is the proliferation of gargantuan vehicles with 5’+ hood heights so that if you’re driving a normal sized car their headlights are at your eye level rather than seat level like they’re supposed to be.

My daughter and I visited the house we lived in when she was a baby, and she was shocked a 29-year-old Navy guy could afford a nice house in a safe neighborhood.
That wasn’t crazy in 1996 — but today, a nice house is out of reach for so many young people. That has to change.

NEWS --> BBC confirms to me that they did edit a line out of historian @rutgerbregman.com's speech. It called Trump "the most openly corrupt president in US history."
BBC also confirms this was done on the advice of lawyers. So Trump's threats worked.

Trump’s Fury at BBC Gets Unnerving Results with Pro-MAGA Edit Stunner
First, British Broadcasting Corporation execs resigned after Trump complained about a segment. Now the BBC edited out a line from a historian that was critical of Trump. Where does this end?

I have no idea why media continues to hype this person as a serious political commentator, but to go even further and float him as a viable presidential candidate is just farcical.

Obama was in his 40s, so was Bill Clinton, W was 54, just in the last 10 years have Presidents been old (and people could have voted for the 59 year old)
