Pam Bondi admits she spoke to Apple to "get the ICEBlock app taken down." Sounds an awful lot like coercion to suppress disfavored speech to me. A clear violation of the 1st Amendment.

Bondi claims that the ICEBlock app was "criminal in that people were posting where ICE officers lived"

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

CNN: “An older couple making $85K/year will see their yearly insurance premiums jump from $7K to $25,000 — 30% of their income.” 😳#TrumpShutdown #TrumpHealthCareTax

This is what Dems are drawing attention to and want fixed. Now, not later.

Why did China stop buying US soybeans, Kevin?

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 2d

Hassett: "China has stopped buying US soybeans. The silos are full and there are soybeans sitting on the ground w/tarps over them. That's unacceptable to POTUS. We're calling up our soybean customers around the world as part of our trade negotiations & we'll strong policies to support our farmers"

Looking at the NXT and AEW numbers coming out with the new TV ratings methodology, we have finally confirmed what I long suspected: wrestling sucks and nobody likes it.

This is due to a law signed by Ronald Reagan and has nothing to do with this shutdown fight.

But consider this...

Emergency Medicaid spending in 2023 cost $3.8 billion — just 0.4% of total Medicaid spending.

Now what about the $20 billion taxpayers are giving to Argentina?

The neat thing about AEW posting Hangman's BlueSky post about Samoa Joe, is that when people go to his page, perhaps for the first time (coming from places like X)...

They'll see his original post.

It's in a reply of it.

So that's actually really cool. ❤️👊

If we are going to have judges recuse themselves for the comments of their wives - imagine there will be number of cases involving Thomas and Alito if it pertains to Trump or right wing advocacy issues, in which they should have to do the same.

No?

BREAKING: At Trump DOJ request, Judge Michael Simon (Obama) recuses from Oregon's suit over activation of its National Guard for immigration enforcement/ICE security. New Judge Karin Immergut (Trump). DOJ argued comments by Simon's wife @RepBonamici about case merited recusal.

If you had posted “Trump is working with Project 2025” on October 3rd last year, every social media network would have hit you with false news strikes and demonetized your account.

Now, one year later, he can’t stop gloating about Project 2025.
