It is newsworthy that the president of the United States is increasingly verbally abusive of women reporters and he should be asked about it.

At some point it may occur to the extremely wealthy people on Netflix’s side that the best way to save their deal is to make sure everyone in America knows how corrupt Trump and Ellison are. Their opponents paid off the referees! Make some noise about it!
this pretty much guarantees months and months of performative bullshit by Trump and Ellison and right wing media about how Netflix ownership would be a woke antitrust nightmare, but letting Larry and his nepobaby son dominate U.S. media would be a delightful, populist spritzer
It’s a Bidding War: Paramount Attempts Hostile Offer for Warner Bros.
David Ellison calls Netflix's $82.7 billion deal value an "inferior proposal" and tells Warners shareholders that his coalition promises $18 billion more in cash.

A Supreme Court that overturns Humphrey's Executor and 90 years of precedent to enable Donald Trump's corrupt march toward oligarchy is simply not a sustainable or legitimate institution.

I don't consider the Supreme Court to be legitimate. I also know that the Democratic party is not up to the challenge of disempowering the court so the illegitimate court will continue to exist for years to come. Folks will have to figure out how to move with this in mind.

The only legal scholars I want to hear from in the years to come are the ones seriously thinking about how to fully disempower the Supreme Court. What would that take? THINK OUTSIDE OF THE BOX. Offer practical suggestions that could become political campaigns led by the public.

NEW info on shipwreck attack. It gets worse.
The 2 survivors climbed atop wreckage and waved to overhead.
"Some of the people viewing the video thought ... could have been an attempt to surrender"
Others "said the most logical explanation was ... signaling for a rescue."

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.
The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

Gender-affirming care saves lives
1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.
It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.
It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.

Narrator: Never is the correct answer, at least for them.
When Trump admin officials get asked why a certain sector of the economy is so bad, 90% of the time their answers begin with “we inherited.” Did everyone forget what Biden inherited in Jan 2021? Or what Obama inherited in Jan 2009? When are Republicans ever responsible?
