Disney bows to Donald Trump Disney's $15 million settlement over a defamation lawsuit may have signaled a new era for the entertainment behemoth under a second Trump term.

Interesting thing to note about Wyoming's abortion ban being struck down. The judge did it using a constitutional amendment that Republicans made in 2012 to try and thwart Obamacare.
