Trump Justice Department Poised to Preserve Ticketmaster Monopoly - The American Prospect Settlement talks on a monopolization case against Live Nation are under way, with Kellyanne Conway and other MAGA lobbyi

Live Nation/Ticketmaster is a monopoly, which is why it can get away with awful service, charging exorbitant prices, and tacking on fees as high as 75% of the ticket.

Biden sued to break it up.

But after intense lobbying from MAGA world lawyers, Trump's regime seems set to cut a sweetheart deal.

Iowa Republican bill would classify all abortions as homicide Iowa Republicans have been pushing for years to make abortions less accessible to Iowans and criminalize their healthcare providers. This session, however,

Legislators have been happy to prosecute abortion providers in the past. But their new move is to target Iowans who get abortions themselves, classifying the procedure as a homicide.

Not saying immigrates bc we know Americans are getting swept up, along with ppl w no criminal record.

So ICE is forging people’s signatures to say that they agreed to be deported and then holding them hostage if their lawyers appeal their cases

🀯 Did Trump/admin seriously have someone kill Epstein?

Jeffrey Epstein was found dead on August 10, 2019, at approximately 6:30 AM in his jail cell- so how was this written on Aug 9th???! 1/
