Keith Murdoch started the family media empire by crapping on, among others, U.S. troops in the pages of his tabloids— not very helpful toward the war effort.
Fox is now standard fare on U.S. military bases (as well as heavily sourced on Russian state-run media).

"I'm not on vacation. Go to my social media pages," is truly where this country's politics are right now.

Yes, I appreciate I too am on social media, but it is nevertheless disheartening to conflate policy work and political activity with media communications.

His older sister was around during his Fordham years to do his homework, while she earned a master's at Columbia.
He went home every weekend while at Penn, maybe to have someone else do his HW for pay. (??)
The SATs that USC received were by Donald but Penn received SATs taken by one Joe Shapiro.

Seems like more Meidas clickbait. The big drama is that he's so gone that he doesn't even recognize the name.

Trump on pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell: Haven't heard the name in so long. I’ll take a look at it. I’ll speak to the DOJ. A lot of people have asked me for pardons.

Reporter: But she’s convicted of sex trafficking

Trump: I’ll have to take a look at it.

No TRO today in the second Illinois case, either, but Judge Ellis has found the plaintiffs challenging ICE protest enforcement actions have standing for TRO purposes and are likely to succeed on First and Fourth Amendment claims. They also went through the proposed TRO in depth. Follow up coming —>

"At this point, DHS is on notice," Ellis says, but she says she would rather give a couple days for DOJ to get "real answers," particularly as to the identification issue, from clients.

A follow-up hearing will be at 2:00 p.m. CT Wednesday.

Parties are also asked to confer in the interim.

BREAKING: Stephen Miller—both Trump Administration capo and de facto head of DHS, ICE, and DOJ, has just declared that peaceful protesters are "street terrorists." Under an executive order signed by Trump just days ago, that means he is saying that all protesters in America can be arrested on sight.

He’d sue for defamation, but Fox would just use the no-reasonable-person-believes-us defense again.

I forget. Why did Ray Milland want to bump her off? Oh right, because she was cheating on him. IRL she slept with nearly everybody on set, "even the writers." I'd pass. Who needs that kind of drama? I definitely wouldn't have been enough of an audience for her.
