Corrupt STL Cops? Perish the thought.
The latest in St. Louis, where police rammed a car into a gay bar and then arrested the owner.

Elon "I hate subsidies" Musk tried to grab a billion in subsidies to deliver Starlink satellite broadband service to a handful of airport parking lots and traffic medians.

The Biden FCC (correctly) rejected him, so prepare for a lot of whining about how the government was mean to him:

New: Cops are going into pharmacies and walking out with people's most sensitive health information. No warrant or judge review. Comes at a time when women's health care is being criminalized.
