Trump met with David Ellison days before saying he’s ‘not involved’ in Paramount’s Netflix battle | CNN Business
The timing of the meetings — early last week — is notable because Trump was asked by NBC’s Tom Llamas on Wednesday about Paramount and Netflix’s battle for WBD, and he said, “I haven’t been involved.”

Whitehouse: "The last Q I'm left with is what's left of this committee? What's left when we don't demand straight answers? How many times has this DOJ been asked what became of the $50k the FBI reported it handed to Homan? ... our Republican colleagues see no evil, hear no evil, and speak no evil"
Capital One has asked a federal judge to dismiss a lawsuit from the Trump Org. over the closure of hundreds of bank accounts in 2021, arguing that the shutdowns were the product of a monthslong anti-money-laundering review — not retaliation for the Capitol riot, as the Trump businesses have claimed.

How am I just learning that the new CEO of one of the biggest private prison contractors and government price gougers is named Pat D Swindle
I'm not necessarily saying nominative determinism is real but CoreCivic, one of the largest private prison companies in the US and a top ICE contractor, just appointed a guy named Swindle as their new CEO. So, I guess I'm also not necessarily saying it's not real either.
Patrick Swindle is the CEO operating the Dilley concentration camp. There are people behind this. They must go to prison.
ProPublica@propublica.org · 5mo agoNEW: Guards have taken away crayons, colored pencils & paper during recent room searches at Dilley, according to detainees and others. After one inspection, the children just “cried and cried and cried,” a mother said. The facility denies the claims. By @mckenziefunk.com @micarosenberg.bsky.social
I had to doublecheck and, yes, the CEO of CoreCivic is Patrick Swindle. Henceforth, all contracts for the concentration camps shall be known as "Swindle swindles." Please contact your elected representatives and demand they use this updated terminology at every opportunity.
