Judge Orders Trump To Stop Airing Taxpayer-Funded Midterm Propaganda Ads (For Now)
Last week, the DNC sued the Trump administration for using $20 million in taxpayer money on strange and ineffective midterm ads.

The Ellisons Again Threaten To Move CBS/Paramount Somewhere Shittier And Hotter If State Antitrust Lawsuit Isn’t Settled

There's been a certain creeping desperation apparent the last month or two; whether it's the company's top lawyer claiming that critics...
