🔴 BREAKING: I just secured a landmark victory against Discord. Discord built a product that funnels predators to kids by default, then sold parents on the lie that their platform is "safe by design." After filing this lawsuit just TODAY, a Texas judge now ordered Discord to stop both the rigged defaults and the lie. Discord was warned by the FTC, the Senate, and five state AGs. It changed nothing. So we made them, and this is only the first step in this case. I will never stop fighting to protect Texas children.

Disney has filed a petition with the FCC asking the agency to declare that The View is exempt from the statutory equal opportunities requirements that would otherwise apply to broadcast shows. Disney argues that The View qualifies as “bona fide news” under the law, comparing itself to Meet The Press or Face The Nation. Therefore, Disney argues, it can have one partisan candidate for office on The View while denying equal opportunities to all others. The FCC is now seeking public comment on Disney’s request to be labeled as “bona fide news.” Is The View a “bona fide news interview program”? Under FCC case law, tv shows do not qualify as “bona fide news” if their decisions are based on partisan purposes, such as an intention to advance or harm an individual’s candidacy. As the Public Notice observes, Congress originally passed the equal opportunities law to prevent media gatekeepers from deciding the outcome of elections. The law, even when it applies, does not prohibit anyone from having any candidate appear on any show. Rather, Congress intended it to empower voters with more information and encourage more speech. The FCC welcomes your views: docs.fcc.gov/public/attachm…


Question for Musk: You tell us not to worry about the jobs that’ll be wiped out by AI & robotics because the government will provide everyone with “universal high income.” Really? How will that be paid for when you can’t even support a 5% tax on your $817 billion in wealth?

Californians, if you’re hitting the road this holiday weekend, be sure to AVOID Chevron. Pro tip: unbranded gas comes from the same refineries, storage tanks, and pipelines, and it meets the same state standards to keep your engine running clean, even if it doesn’t have a fancy name like ‘Techron.’ Big Oil is already making billions off Trump’s Iran War; don’t let them rip you off even more by overpaying for the brand name.



NEW, READ - How the Trump Administration says the $1.8 B “weaponization fund” will work. We have obtained - and you can read here - the justifying document DOJ is giving to GOP senators, as many express deep concerns about it.
