“On the merits, its detentions are illegal,” the judge wrote.

“[The government] knows this.”

Netflix Backs Out of Bid for Warner Bros., Paving Way for an Ellison Takeover

The richest man owns X.

The second and third richest men control Google.

The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.

And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.

See the problem here?

Of all Presidementia's prior State-of-the-Unions I've not watched in the past, tonight's State-of-the-Union is the State-of-the-Union I'm not watching the most. 🍊🚫

It's maddening to me how Republicans who are now Dems come in fighting to change the party to fit their Republican interests but didn't have the guts to stay in their own party and fight for their Republican interests because the party changed under Trump. But the moment Trump is gone, so are they.

Dear Anna Paulina Luna,

The Enumeration Beyond Entry program, which issues SSNs to LEGAL noncitizens, was launched in 2017 UNDER DONALD TRUMP to streamline work authorization for eligible immigrants.

In less than a year, Trump erased 12 years of solvency for the trust fund that pays for Medicare Part A | Fortune The CBO estimates that benefit reductions would start at 8% in 2040 and steadily climb to a 10% cut by 2056.

Twelve years stolen from Medicare’s future.

Money collected from workers, promised to the elderly.
Reassigned to those who already have too much.

trump's wealthy donor tax cuts are literally killing us.

The hunger at the top is never satisfied, it only asks who will be trimmed next.

"Doing your own research" doesn't mean finding an influencer you like to agree with your worldview.

Actual research follows the scientific method of data gathering and analysis of which READING is a critical part. If there's one thing we know a LOT of ppl don't like to do, it's read!

"Silent defiance" won't cut it, Hakeem.

Every Dem should give their seat to an Epstein survivor or a victim of ICE and attend the alternative programming. THAT would send a message, Leader Jeffries, not sitting there and saying nothing before a man who expects you to do exactly that!!!

I love this. When docs found a lump in my breast in November, they told me to wait 6 months to retest and I said "NO, that's how Black women die!" I found a new doc, and the lump was removed, benign, and the surrounding tissue is healthy! Please be vigilant! You are your own best advocate!

Civil rights groups ask court to protect Fulton County voter data seized by FBI The federal government should be expressly banned from copying or sharing the seized records, the groups said.

The NAACP and Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law asked a court to protect private voter data after the FBI seized 2020 election materials during a Fulton County election hub raid last month.

The groups are specifically seeking a ban on the reproduction of such records.

I don't even think that they don't like it*. They can't DEFINE it.

*The "it" being culture. There's no connective tissue there either due to place of origin, language, original foods (not brought from elsewhere) that aren't "junk foods," or (as in the case of my ancestors) collective struggle.

Can someone please tell this woman if she is going to draw attention to her lips by lying to please use a lip liner?! I'm sick of watching the lip gloss bleed into the 80 yr old lines of her 28 yr old mouth. I don't have them, but I also never go without lip liner....
