@BrendanCarrFCC @seanmdav Not the News

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…

It seemed cheaper and more secure than putting the fence around my dirt lot where Karen Bass let my house burn down 🤷‍♂️

@nicksortor On the “hop”?

🚨 BREAKING: The FBI just announced one of the Minnesota fraudsters targeted with arrest this morning jumped out of a FOUR STORY BALCONY, and is now on the run Video of the suspect can be seen below. FIND HIM AND DENY HIM BOND! He CANNOT be allowed to flee the country! Anyone with info should call 1-800-CALL-FBI or go to the FBI's website.

@SecDuffy @FMCSA Who hired him to drive?

🚨California issued this driver a commercial driver’s license in March 2025🚨 In February of this year, I issued a rule to stop unqualified, untrained foreign drivers like this accused killer from getting CDLs to drive on America’s roads. RIGHT NOW: @FMCSA investigators are looking into how this illegal got his CDL and will investigate the trucking company who employed this driver. Dalilah’s law would have revoked this illegal trucker’s license. Congress must pass Dalilah’s Law NOW.

@StraightFlorida I will admit the watching parents shop with wine and or beer while shopping for groceries is an interesting sight. Especially bow with the pizza bar, sushi bar, burrito bar in the store as well.

My wife sent me to Publix for milk. Two hours later I’m on IPA #5, elbows deep in wings, patrolling the self-checkout like a damn security guard with a pint in my hand and a suspicious eye on every Yankee trying to scan their own kale. 🧐 🍺 This is not a drill. They put a real bar inside the store. 🍷 Publix: Where shopping is literally a pleasure. Came for the BOGOs, stayed for happy hour, leaving with a solid buzz and zero milk. 😂 The best part? Sitting at that bar watching all the other husbands slowly realize they’re never making it home with the groceries either. 👏🏻 Is it still grocery shopping if you’re hammered? Asking for a friend who’s definitely sleeping on the couch tonight. Send help. Or more wings. 🍺🛒💀

@BrandonStraka Oh do post that email.

Marshall Cohen is the reporter from CNN who contacted the prosecutor in my case the night before my plea hearing asking the government to rethink offering me a plea deal. This came after 10 months of negotiations with the government. Cohen emailed my prosecutor saying he had reason to believe I was planning to plead guilty the next day — but that I did not actually believe I was guilty — and asked if the government would consider pulling the deal. (I have Cohen’s email to the prosecutor.) As it turns out, he was right. I was planning to plead guilty, and I wasn’t guilty. But to him, the story wasn’t that the U.S. government was coercing an innocent person into a guilty plea. The story was that he had an opportunity to join forces with a corrupt and weaponized government to strip a Trump voter of a misdemeanor plea deal and expose him to felony charges and prison time.

@GOLDBABYO My son got a job at a new Publix recently. His first job at age of 22. He loves it. While the job part time, he wishes it to be full time. His confidence increase is simply astounding!

My 16-year-old son with Down syndrome was so excited to apply for his first job at the local grocery store, but after three interviews, he kept getting turned down. Each rejection crushed him a little more, and he started saying he’d never be good enough to work anywhere. I was heartbroken watching his confidence disappear. Then we walked into Murphy’s Hardware Store, and my son lit up seeing all the organized tools and supplies. The owner, Mr. Murphy, noticed him carefully straightening a display of screws that had gotten messy. ‘You’ve got a good eye for organization,’ he told my son. ‘Are you looking for work?’ When I explained about the previous rejections, Mr. Murphy just shrugged. ‘Their loss. Can you start Monday?’ For the past eight months, my son has been their most reliable employee always on time, never calls in sick, and customers love his genuine enthusiasm for helping them find what they need. ‘Best hiring decision I ever made,’ Mr. Murphy told me recently. ‘He sees the job as important, and that makes all the difference.’ My son comes home every day proud of his work, finally understanding that the right place will see his worth.

@RapSheet Ranch not blue cheese? #Bills Fightin' words

Would love to be in the meeting where this was concocted. Pretty good.

@florida_grand Looh-tz Done-a-din Kiss-a-me

How do you pronounce these three Florida towns? 1. Lutz 2. Dunedin 3. Kissimmee

@layxsnv D if you are making pancakes

Okay, where are the English scholars, which one?

@SusieM414141 When I moved, shippers had boxed a couple of pool noodles that way as well. I was WTF

This man ordered 165 pool noodles from Walmart. When they arrived through FedEx, there was a little surprise. They had been individually boxed. You just know that Walmart employee is paid by the hour. 😆😆 And the FedEx driver got to unload an entire truck in one place, and they weren’t heavy.

@JWesleyDorman @ProfMJCleveland The only exception is Mar-a-Lago.

@ProfMJCleveland This introduction is amazing: "Every American, including a sitting or former Vice President, has a right to privacy in the personal conversations he has within his own home." Who knew that such a privilege exists???

WHOA! Full filing linked below. 1/

@ProfMJCleveland So retired judges? What they couldn't get existing judges?

LOL. The contempt crusade continues!

Holy crap!

@MichaelDell @tedcruz Oddly enough - Dell frames it correctly and Reich frames value creation as envy as monopoly power.

Robert Reich forgot the 6th and most common way: 6) Build something millions of people actually want

@WallStreetApes Where’s the money?

Buffalo, New York Mayor Sean Ryan (D) calls out the failures of the city’s 100% Democrat-led leadership “Why do we need to raise taxes? Because our city is broke and it's literally falling apart” - They need about 40 garbage trucks to do all their routes, but on a given day, about half of their garbage trucks don't work - You're supposed to replace your heavy equipment every 5 years. Half their fleet is older than 10 years - They don’t snow plow their roads regularly because half their snow plows don’t work - Potholed streets are everywhere - Community centers are all falling apart “You may think I'm on the set of a zombie movie, but I'm not. I'm actually in the locker room for a City of Buffalo pool that was open last summer. This is what happens when a city doesn't invest in itself and when it's financially mismanaged” I want everyone to understand what’s being said in this video The Mayor is Democrat All 9 members City Council members are Democrats (no Republicans have held the mayor’s office since 1965) The mayor is literally telling everyone that they don’t maintain anything, mismanage the money (it disappears) and now they need to raise taxes Stop voting Democrat

@Polymarket @grok how old is Hakeem Jefferies?

JUST IN: Virginia Democrats propose lowering the mandatory retirement age for state Supreme Court justices from 75 to 54.
