I’m reserving judgment until I see firsthand what this bag of different stuff is all about. Sounds kinda cool honestly.

Fox News finally discovered how tariffs work — after a special needs toy importer saw his bill jump from $26K to $346K overnight.

The world’s been shouting this for months: Americans pay the tariffs. Not China. Not Europe. Welcome to the cost of MAGAnomics.

Gavin Newsom sues Fox News for $787M in defamation case over Trump call

https://news.yahoo.com/gavin-newsom-sues-fox-news-131459772.html

Gavin Newsom is taking a page right out of Donald Trump’s media playbook.

The California governor accused Fox News of defamation in a lawsuit Friday morning, alleging the network should fork over $787 million after host Jesse Watters claimed Newsom lied about his phone calls with Trump, who ordered National Guard troops to Los Angeles this month. Newsom’s lawyers argue Watters’ program misleadingly edited a video of Trump to support the claim.

The Democratic likely presidential hopeful’s request for damages is nearly identical to the $787.5 million sum Fox News paid Dominion Voting Systems in 2023 to settle another defamation case over election falsehoods. And it comes amid a spate of lawsuits from Trump against major media and other companies that resulted in multi-million dollar settlements.

"If Fox News wants to lie to the American people on Donald Trump's behalf, it should face consequences — just like it did in the Dominion case,” Newsom told POLITICO in a statement. “Until Fox is willing to be truthful, I will keep fighting against their propaganda machine."

Public officials must clear an extremely high legal standard to prevail in defamation cases, as the U.S. Supreme Court established six decades ago in New York Times v. Sullivan. But the lawsuit’s filing marks a pointed escalation in Newsom’s feud with the Republican president and his allies in media. Newsom is suing in his personal capacity and has agreed to pay any possible fines or penalties from his campaign account, aides said. Any proceeds from the case to Newsom would be disseminated to anti-Trump causes.

Newsom’s suit echoes Trump’s own lawsuits against major news networks like ABC, which agreed in December to pay Trump $15 million to settle a defamation case over George Stephanopoulos’ inaccurate claim that Trump was found civilly liable for rape. (Trump was actually found civilly liable for sexual abuse, though the judge in the case later ruled that it was accurate in “common modern parlance” to say Trump had been found liable for rape.)

Trump in another suit accused CBS’ “60 Minutes” last fall of misleadingly editing an interview with former Vice President Kamala Harris during the 2024 presidential race. At least two executives from the company have since left their posts and the unresolved CBS suit has become a central drama in the pending sale of a controlling stake in Paramount.

Newsom’s lawyers said he is prepared to drop the lawsuit if Fox retracts its claims and Watters apologizes to him on air.

A copy of Newsom’s complaint filed in the Delaware Superior Court — in the same state where Fox News is incorporated — claims he last spoke with Trump for approximately 16 minutes by phone on June 7, one day before the president deployed 2,000 California National Guard troops over Newsom’s objections to quell protests in Los Angeles.

IMPORTANT: The "Fu*k Joe Biden" and "Fu*k Your Feelings" folks at Fox News wants you to know it is totally inappropriate for Colbert to tell Trump to go fu*k himself! 🫡 Hey FOX. GO F**K YOURSELF.
