I FOIA'd the FTC for consumer complaints about the telehealth company Hims & Hers. People describe being signed up for subscription services they never wanted.

Elon Musk spoke by video to Tommy Robinson's anti-immigrant rally in the UK today. "You're in a fundamental situation here where, whether you choose violence or not, violence is coming to you," said Musk. "You either fight back or you die."

I won't quote-tweet our main character of the day, but if your complaint is that Charlie Kirk's words are being taken out of context, I'd encourage you to skim through the Media Matters tag for his name. They have hundreds of posts about Kirk and most have longer clips that give the full context.

I think you made a bigger mess for someone else to clean up, dude.

Ted Cruz: Some deranged bastard put this graffiti on the 59 freeway in Houston.
TXDOT has been notified & I'm sure sure they will remove it expeditiously.
But, in the meantime, Texans don't have to look at this hateful garbage anymore.
Graffiti that reads:
FucK
CHARLIE
Kirk

“In Ankara, Trump boarded the old Air Force One jumbo jet in view of television cameras. He was secretly shuttled minutes later to a smaller plane — an Air Force C-32A — via an airport catering truck typically used to load meals and other supplies preflight…”

Trump is trying to Uno reverse Iran which I’m sure will work out great

Trump: I see that Representatives of the Islamic Republic of Iran are asking for compensation for the damage done to them during the last five month
Military Conflict (started because, THEY WILL NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON), even though it was never mentioned in any of our negotiations or meetings! But it is an interesting idea because now 1 am likewise demanding compensation from Iran, for all of the people that they have killed and gravely wounded with their roadside bombs and many conflicts, for which they are famous, as led initially by General Soleimani, including the families of those killed on the USS Cole, and thousands of others killed in combat.
Additionally, compensation should be paid to the families of the hundreds of thousands of innocent protestors that Iran has killed over the last 50 years, not to mention the 52,000 that have been killed in the last five months. I have instructed my representatives to put this firmly into any, and all, future negotiations. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President
DONALD J. TRUMP

“U.S. Attorney Jeanine Piro should re-visit her hastily made decision, especially since it turned out that the ‘gentleman’ involved is a big player in ActBlue, a disgraceful fundraising SCAM…”

Trump: Now that people are able to see it up close, they are reporting pure VANDALISM at The Reflecting Pool. Thank you Andrew Leyden for your observation! The material was cut right where the video tape showed, for 300 feet or more.
People were on their knees with their hands in the water at the exact location of the "slashes." Additionally, there were witnesses to the VANDALISM, and the flexible areas of the material were cut with a knife. U.S. Attorney Jeanine Piro should re-visit her hastily made decision, especially since it turned out that the
"gentleman" involved is a big player in ActBlue, a disgraceful fundraising SCAM, and is represented by a TRUMP DERANGED SLEAZEBAG, Political Hack Lawyer, Norm Eisen, and CREW, a group that uses "charity" for political purposes which is, to the best of my knowledge, ILLEGAL! I have been beating Eisen, a complete LUNATIC, in Court for 10 years, or more. He just keeps coming, but I always WIN! President DONALD J.

Cuts in the expansion joints on the side of the Reflecting Pool are visible today after NPS removed a fence that has blocked the view since June. The contractor reported this to Park Police as vandalism

"The Commodity Futures Trading Commission told prediction markets to avoid using American-style gambling odds as the US regulator fends off legal challenges alleging the platforms are illicit sports betting operations."

Cool aesthetic. It definitely makes you look like the good guys.
