Just kidding, CBS wasn't settling a lawsuit. They were paying a bribe and they knew it.

Eleventh Circuit throws out Trump's suit against CNN in a per curiam unpublished ruling. Meaning Trump's arguments were totally meritless, not even worthy of a published opinion. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

I do think you can understand the present state of world affairs better if you believe that the worst person alive has, since 2017, been the most powerful person alive the majority of the time.
there is not a single Republican legislator who is a worse person than Trump is and whatever remains of each of their consciences has been sublimated to his whims for a decade now

I’m still against making sports betting illegal - better to have it run by a corporation than by the mob - but I am 100000% against “frictionless” sports betting. You should not be able to place a depraved parlay from your phone
The Athletic polled hundreds of players from across the NBA, NFL, MLB and NHL about their opinions surrounding how sports betting impacts players — the responses were haunting.

Truly one of - well, actually two of - the worst campaigns I’ve ever seen run.
Speaking as a NYC resident/not as a reporter, I'm still in awe of how weird and bad Cuomo's campaign was. His message during the primary seemed to be "I am owed this." After he lost it was "ignore Dems, you Dems," plus islamophobia. The last day it was "my car technically isn't the same as OJ's."

This was not only predictable, it was predicted.
New: The FBI is quietly urging ICE agents to properly ID themselves in the field.
In a bulletin to law enforcement last month, it warned of criminals posing as ICE to rob, rape, kidnap—a problem it says now demands national coordination to confront.

This stuff really freaks me out. They see their future as one where the decisionmakers live in military installations, where the civil and military functions of government become merged.
And actually astonishing when you think about it: The Trump administration's top officials are choosing to separate themselves from the public—more to the point: separate themselves from any visible protest—and live on military bases.
