    Some curious media folks might want to reach out to the #RNC about their internal polling.

    They’ll probably lie about it, but there’s some panicking going on.

    @GottaLaff
    Surprised to hear the RNC is spending money on polling. I guess the questions must be like “do you approve of Donald Trump 100% or 150%?” and “is Lara Trump’s makeup awesome, or is it amazing?”

    Judge Juan has finally had enough of siccing his rabid disciples on the judge's daughter.

    The gag order in Trump's New York election coverup case has been extended to include staff and family members of the Court and DA Alvin Bragg's office. Trump can (and surely will) continue making statements about the judge and the DA, but family and staffers are now off-limits.

    Probation? Sounds about white… He molested his own relative and the court ordered him to take parenting classes! Unreal.

    Ronna Romney is, thankfully, gone from NBC. But details of her contract are leaking out. It turns out MSNBC prez Rashida Jones was directly involved in recruiting and hiring Ronna, and executives had indeed intended for her to appear on MSNBC in addition to NBC -- even agreeing to pay her extra for it.

    Now, Ronna is gearing up to sue NBC for breach of contract.

    You may have heard that when you abandon , it's recommended to leave your account intact and just stop using it, instead of deleting it. Here's a good example of why that's suggested.

    Judge Juan 's daughter deleted her Twitter account last year (presumably after a prior round of threats and unwanted publicity). That made her old username available -- someone has since registered it, and is posting things that is using to rile up his base.

    's conservative Supreme Court ruled today that an abortion ban dating to 1864 -- before Arizona was even a state -- will soon go into effect. Arizona's upcoming ban will have NO exceptions for rape or incest.

    Every sitting AZ Supreme Court justice was appointed by a governor; their 4-2 decision comes one day after fully endorsed states making decisions like this.
