Federal Judge Throws Wrench Into Trump’s Big Spending Freeze The freeze was blocked mere minutes before it was set to begin.

Donald Trump’s planned freeze on federal grants and loans was put on ice by a federal judge just minutes before it was set to begin.

I love how they came to the right answer with the wrong reasons. Broken clocks etc

Oh sure, when I eat a crinoid and vomit, nobody cares . But when a fish did it 66 million years ago & we just now find its puke, that's somehow big news.

(P.S. This find is also a great example of ichthyological ichnology, or ichnological ichthyology. 🧪🐟)

I don't know if one loud Nazi disappearing counts as "the downfall of the alt right" especially given current events

Don’t let anyone lie about January 6th. It was an armed attack. They had pipe bombs, guns, Molotov cocktails, stun guns, a crossbow, hockey sticks, bats, flagpoles, pepper/bear spray, brass knuckles, scissors, screwdrivers, and an axe. More than 1,200 arrested. 117 for weapons/assaulting police.
