I seem to remember the republicans pitching a fit over their government phone toll records being obtained by Jack Smith. Now, indeed, the Trump administration obtained Rep Jayapal’s unredacted Epstein Files search history without her knowledge or permission.

The FTC has sent a letter to Tim Cook because Apple News is too woke and needs to include more right wing content.

This would sound silly even for The Onion but it’s our current reality.

Do as you like Tim Apple. I am already poised to never buy an Apple product again. I have bought nothing but for roughly 25 years. You are now evil and can suck it!
On the one hand, this is yet another horrific development.

On the other hand, fuck you Tim Cook. You're the latest to discover that selling your soul to Donald Trump will gain you nothing.
