"Trump poured salt in Stefanik’s wounds when he chummed around with Mamdani in the Oval Office, undercutting her campaign attack that the mayor-elect is a 'jihadist.'" Stefanik is pissed. But she’s taking it all out on Mike Johnson.

They are airing ICE recruitment ads, the CEO has been investing in military/AI tech, they barely pay their artists; sometimes a percentage of a cent per stream, they promote “fake/AI artist” playlists, and there’s major concerns about data use.
