Trump buys $1m in Netflix and Warner Bros bonds days after saying he'll be involved' in merger

They have a very big market share, Trump told reporters at the Kennedy Center on 7 December, two days after the deal was announced and five days before he began to purchase Netflix and WBD bonds. When they have Warner Bros, that share goes up a lot. So, I don't know. That's going to be for some economists to tell and also and I'll be involved in that decision too. But they have a very big market share.

Federal judge bars ICE from retaliating against protesters in Minnesota

This case involves six individual plaintiffs, and Minneapolis, St. Paul and state officials have filed a separate lawsuit that seeks to end the ICE surge. Driving the news: U.S. District Judge Katherine Menendez barred ICE agents from arresting or pepper spraying people for simply observing or criticizing the federal government's actions. The judge also ruled that safely following ICE vehicles does not on its own justify a traffic stop, protecting an increasingly common tactic used by Minnesotans to track raids in the Twin Cities.

From Stopping Osama bin Laden to Killing Renee Good

The new Cabinet-level entity that he would lead mashed together more than 20 federal agencies under one Orwellian name.

Democrats Should Run a Governor for President in 2028

Though only 17 of the 47 presidents were governors, only four men (James Garfield, Warren Harding, John F. Kennedy and Barack Obama) have gone directly from Congress to the White House. Among Democrats, however, the last sitting or former governor to win a presidential nomination was Bill Clinton. Indeed, the last governor to run a viable Democratic nomination contest was Howard Dean in 2004, and his signature issue was foreign policy (his opposition to the Iraq War).
