So much for the pro-First Amendment FCC.

Reinstating these complaints is a transparent attempt to intimidate networks that are critical of Trump and control their speech. If it wasn’t obvious already, just look at the fact that the only complaint Carr didn’t reinstate was against Fox.

Bob Iger’s compensation rose to $41.1 million in 2024 from $31.6 million the prior year

True. I would say even more: the DEI Executive Order (like SCOTUS) turns the law on its head & makes it the policy of the US government to reverse all compliance with Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act & government orders based on EEOC Guidance regarding Title VII. #lawlesspresidency

The last duck farm on New York's Long Island must kill its entire flock of almost 100,000 ducks and may go out of business, its owner said, because of an outbreak of bird flu.

“What kind of husband goes grocery shopping with his wife?”

Donald Trump has revoked the security detail for Mike Pompeo, despite the fact that the former secretary of state is reportedly facing threats for actions he took under the president’s direction.
