Kind of late to this, but why was the FTC chair on with a streamer who has rebroadcast Houthi propaganda videos, interviewed Houthi members, expressed his support for Hezbollah, and expressed his support for the Houthis?

The easy answer would be the same reason prominent figures on both sides of the aisle have appeared on Joe Rogan's show: he's famous, he invited them on, and it's an easy way to get free publicity. Granted, I've never heard of this guy until now, but I am extremely out of the loop when it comes to my own generation's celebrities of choice. But I daresay anyone important enough to get appointed to a major federal office probably is too.

Trump sues Iowa pollster Ann Selzer and Des Moines Register newspaper

Selzer published a poll days before the election that said Kamala Harris was ahead by 3 percentage points. Trump won the state by 13 percentage points.

Media law experts were skeptical the suit could achieve its aims in court but said it could have a chilling effect on the media.

“The odds of success here are slim to none, but winning in court is not likely the real goal of this lawsuit," said Clay Calvert, a media law expert and professor at the University of Florida's Levin College of Law. "The true motivation is to intimidate the press and journalists. I unfortunately suspect this lawsuit is just a harbinger of things to come.”

The suit says “Millions of Americans, including Plaintiff, residents of Iowa, and Iowans who contributed to President Trump’s Campaign and its affiliated entities (the ‘Trump 2024 Campaign’), were deceived by the doctored Harris Poll” and that the “polling ‘miss’ was not an astonishing coincidence — it was intentional.”

Here's the court filing, since NBC and FOX couldn't be bothered. What a great industry. https://www.scribd.com/document/805828796/Trump-v-Selzer-et-al

It is... not the most professionally written lawsuit you'll ever read. The most interesting thing here is the admission that the Trump campaign diverted money to Iowa over this poll, which is how they're claiming to have damages despite this poll obviously not mattering.

If I were a Democrat, after the Goverment shuts down I'd go on every news show and scream "President Musk's Government Shutdown".

Ironbite-Trump will boot Musk to Mars so fast.

I am pleased to announce Ken Howery as my choice for United States Ambassador to the Kingdom of Denmark. Ken is a World renowned entrepreneur, investor, and public servant, who served our Nation brilliantly during my First Term as U.S. Ambassador to Sweden, where he led efforts to increase Defense, Security, and Economic Cooperation between our Countries. As a Co-Founder of PayPal and venture capital fund, Founders Fund, Ken turned American Innovation and Tech leadership into Global success stories, and that experience will be invaluable in representing us abroad. For purposes of National Security and Freedom throughout the World, the United States of America feels that the ownership and control of Greenland is an absolute necessity. Ken will do a wonderful job in representing the interests of the United States. Thank you Ken, and congratulations!

Not that this is any better, but I read that to say that this will apply to people who invest a billion or more in the US. Merely having so much money won't cut it.

It's still awful, but the difference is important to me.
