An anti-ICE TikToker was arrested after posting about immigrant rights, adding to growing concerns about how immigration enforcement is interacting with political speech and protest. Recent cases involving journalists and protesters have also raised questions about arrests, force and First Amendment

The rich would prefer you to believe that the "free market" is subject to the immutable law of supply and demand. But for years, the wealthy and powerful have manipulated the market for their own gain. There is nothing “free” about it. Watch.

If this goes ahead it is Trump overtly taking Russia's side in the war against Ukraine and Europe, aligning the United States with China, Iran, and North Korea. Like the Putin G20 visit, it cannot be allowed to happen. We must fight.

Incredible. The 11th Circuit, in a 3-0 opinion (two Obama appointees and one Trump 1.0 appointee), agrees that Trump and his lawyers have failed to rebut the judge's finding that the entire IRS settlement was collusive, highlighting that no other explanation for their conduct was even offered.
IV
The appellants mount two main attacks on the district
court’s speech-related sanction. First, they argue that the court
lacked a sufficient basis to find that the lawsuit and the settlement
were collusive and that Messrs. Brito and Epstein acted in bad faith.
Second, they contend that the sanction is a broad and impermissible gag order which constitutes a prior restraint and violates the
First Amendment. We conclude that the appellants have not made
a strong showing that they will succeed on either of these grounds.The appellants did not submit or offer any evidence to explain their litigation conduct or demonstrate that the lawsuit and the settlement were not collusive. Given the record before us, the
appellants have not made a strong showing that the district court
committed clear error in its collusion and bad faith findings

I was skeptical of this take but making up some bullshit to accuse someone of a crime in defense of Trump only for it to completely fall apart, then acting outraged and refusing to apologize for any of it really does sound like Vance VP material.
