Jack Smith humiliates Trump with muzzle order in stolen documents case
As if his historic indictment on federal espionage charges wasn't belittling enough, the disgraced ex-president could be subject to a humiliating gag order if special counsel Jack Smith has his way. The order, requested Friday, would bar him from disclosing evidence to the public — meaning no more Truth Social rants or meandering MAGA rally tirades twisting details of the case in a thinly veiled disinformation campaign to poison the court of public opinion. Are you even on trial if you can't complain about it on social media?

Are you ready to fight for abortion rights at EVERY LEVEL?
Center for Reproductive Rights: We may have lost the battle for Roe, but this war for women's rights is FAR from over. The Center for Reproductive Rights is leading the charge to restore a woman's right to choose from the state house to the Supreme Court by protecting providers, challenging bans, changing state constitutions and pushing for legislation at the national level. Can you chip in to support them?

DOJ blames "systemic" problems at police department for George Floyd’s murder
In what's easily the "No Sh*t, Sherlock" moment of the week, a Justice Department report found that the Minneapolis Police Department disproportionately targeted Blacks and Native Americans and unjustly used excessive force city-wide for years before the tragic murder of George Floyd by MPD officer Derek Chauvin in 2020.

Republicans declare banning universal free school meals a top 2024 Priority
We can only assume the rest of their budget priorities include kicking puppies, pouring coal slurry in the drinking water, and allowing the rich to hunt humans on their private islands because this is just so horrendously evil that it truly boggles the mind.

New report exposes Trump's outrageous flip-flop on trans rights
Today the indicted former president boasts to his transphobic base that he will “defeat the cult of gender ideology" — whatever that means. Just a few years before he descended the golden escalator at Trump Tower to run for president, however, Trump whole heartedly supported trans women entering his beauty pageants – and there’s video! It just goes to show how Trump really doesn't believe in ANYTHING and will say or do whatever he has to in order to realize his selfish ambitions.

DeSantis blocks direct-to-consumer car sales – with a carveout for Elon Musk
Florida governor and real-life Disney villain Ron DeSantis signed a new law preventing car companies from bypassing dealers to sell directly to consumers – with one curious exemption. Electric-only car companies CAN sell direct-to-consumers, handing Elon Musk a potentially lucrative loophole for his flagship Tesla electric car company, because everyone knows "the free market" relies on carving out special rules for your awful friends.

Biden pressures Ticketmaster and Seat Geek to drop "junk fees"
The two online ticket giants have agreed in advance of a meeting with the White House to commit to full transparency about ticket pricing, listing all fees and prices upfront instead of hiding them until late in the purchasing process. It's a small but significant win for the president who promised to address the ticketing crisis in the 2023 State of the Union Address — and there's going to be more where that came from!
