He's too busy investigating Clase and Ortiz for gambling, while at the same time welcoming Draft Kings and Fan Duel to every aspect of the game. I'm pretty sure the next expansion teams are going to be the Draft Kings Monarchs and the BetMGM Winners.

I'm sorry, is the Trump Administration talking to a tech platform?

Is it...requesting content moderation?

Today following outreach from @thejusticedept, Facebook removed a large group page that was being used to dox and target @ICEgov agents in Chicago.
The wave of violence against ICE has been driven by online apps and social media campaigns designed to put ICE officers at risk just for doing their jobs. The Department of Justice will continue engaging tech companies to eliminate platforms where radicals can incite imminent violence against federal law enforcement.

Border Patrol “attempted to arrest a plumber working inside a Logan Heights home but left empty-handed after the homeowner refused them entry.

The homeowner told agents she would not allow them inside because the warrant they presented did not include her address and lacked a judge's signature.”

Like this is so fucked.

Pitches 6 and 8 called balls when they’re on the strike zone. Resulting in a walk that extends the inning and ends up driving in a run.
