Senators worry that EA, which just released Battlefield 6 last week and also publishes The Sims, Madden, and EA Sports FC, “would cease exercising editorial and operational independence under the control of Saudi Arabia’s private majority ownership.”
Important to note that Christopher Caldwell, the guy who gets to defend Hegseth’s rabidly bigoted, sexist speech in the New York Times, wrote a whole book about how the Civil Rights Act constitutes an illegitimate departure from the Constitution.
So, of course he is on board with imposing white male domination.

Last month Judge Diane Goodstein ruled against the Trump regime, and blocked the State of South Carolina from giving millions of voter data files to the DOJ.
Last week Harmeet Dhillon of Trump's DOJ openly condemned Judge Goodstein's ruling in a tweet.
Yesterday Trump lackey Stephen Miller called "left wing judges & lawyers" as "terrorists" requiring force to rebuke.
Now this is Judge Goodstein's home, on fire, and being investigated for arson.
Probably just a coincidence.
Apple has removed ICE tracking apps from the App Store.
This includes ICEBlock which alerts people of sightings of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in their area after complaints from Attorney General Pam Bondi.

@jrm4 they’re contractually obligated to praise Saudi Arabia and forbidden to criticize the Saudi regime
Comedy gold!
Oh, come on. We were only there for 20 years.
We should invade Afghanistan and save them from the Taliban
Street improvements in Southside, one of the most densely populated neighborhoods in the country, are now complete!
The street space is now used like this:
1/4 for buses
1/4 for cars
1/4 for loading and parking
1/4 for bikes
Previous it was 1/2 cars, 1/2 parking, even though most people using the street used the bus, bike, or walking.
There will be a ribbon cutting this Wednesday at 11am with #Berkeley Mayor Adena Ishii and Councilmember Cecilia Lunaparra https://berkeleyca.gov/community-recreation/events/southside-complete-streets-ribbon-cutting
Overhaul of Southside streets improves safety, ease and reliability – while connecting to city, regional bike and transit networks. On the south side of campus, you can now bicycle or scooter up, down, and across the area using bikeways protected from cars by concrete curbs and parked vehicles.On southside sections of Bancroft Way or Durant Avenue, hop on a bus, and you’ll glide through transit-only lanes with traffic signals that prioritize buses.On foot or for people using a wheelchair, raised intersections in the area not only slow traffic and increase visibility of those travelers, but they also more comfortably transition those in wheelchairs from sidewalks across streets.
