So, FCC Chair says publicly to ABC about @jimmykimmel.com: “We can do this the easy way or the hard way." Lo and behold #Disney and #ABC bend the knee. Imagine Laugh In doing that, or SNL over the years, or Carson. All skewered presidents.

Anywhere close to #LancasterPA? If so, I have your Saturday covered. Start the day at Landis Homes Fellowship Days. Food, auction, trains, etc. Then head to @hempfieldsd.bsky.social for #OpeningKnight. Some very good High School bands and the West Chester University #WCURamBand.

Imagine if the election had gone the other way and Kamala Harris tried to do this.
President Donald Trump signed an executive order Monday directing state National Guard units to be ready to assist local, state and federal law enforcement, a potential step toward a dramatic expansion of Trump’s use of military personnel for domestic policing.

TikTok investor Jeff Yass gave Trump's super PAC $16 million? Sounds about right. How many times has #POTUS delayed shutting them down? AI engines estimate #TikTok makes $26 million per day, so this is just good business.
