NEW YORK (AP) — The company planning to buy Donald Trump’s new social media business disclosed Monday that it has received subpoenas from a grand jury in New York. Shares of Digital World Acquisition Corp. dropped 7% in morning trading Monday as the company reported that the subpoenas and related investigations by the Department of Justice and the Securities and Exchange Commission could delay its acquisition of the maker of Trump's Truth Social app. Trump’s social media venture launched in February as he seeks a new digital stage to rally his supporters and fight Big Tech limits on speech, a year after he was banned from Twitter, Facebook and YouTube. The Trump Media & Technology Group — which operates the app and was in the process of being acquired by “blank-check” firm Digital World — said in a statement that it will cooperate with "oversight that supports the SEC’s important mission of protecting retail investors.” Digital World said in a regulatory filing Monday … [Read more...] about Company buying Trump’s social media app faces subpoenas

Column: With Roe overturned, will Democrats finally learn that losing parties can’t construct the court?
SACRAMENTO — Elections have consequences. That’s a cliché, but clichés are born of truths. And this is a truth: If a Democrat had been elected president in 2016, we wouldn’t have a right-wing Supreme Court. If Donald Trump hadn’t beaten Hillary Clinton, gun control laws and national abortion rights would not have been quashed by the Supreme Court last week. The Supreme Court today would not have a 6-3 conservative majority. It would be 6-3 moderate-to-liberal. Parts of American life wouldn’t have been turned upside down. Trump named three conservative justices to fill seats that would have been occupied by three liberals or centrists under a Democratic president. On Friday, Trump bragged about that after the court overturned Roe vs. Wade . The former president noted he pledged during the 2016 campaign to nominate anti-Roe justices, and he did.

ANDERSON: Here’s Why We Should Be Protecting Pregnancy Centers From Extremists
For years the pro-life movement has had two arms: The political effort, which focuses on policies and laws to protect the unborn. And the practical effort, which focuses on healthcare, mercy and compassion to vulnerable pregnant women and new mothers through pregnancy resource centers. Until now, pregnancy resource centers received less media attention than political pro-life groups, but they are critical in our campaign to protect mothers and children from the ravages of the abortion industry. But don’t take it from me — take it from the Left. (RELATED: SHEFFIELD: Remembering Why Title IX Is So Important For Women) Left-wing extremists have begun a terrorist campaign to destroy pregnancy resource centers and intimidate their staff. Organized into new groups called “Jane’s Revenge” and the appropriately named “Anti Hope Brigade,” they have begun firebombing resource centers and defacing them with graffiti. Over 40 clinics have been attacked since the leaked Dobbs … [Read more...] about ANDERSON: Here’s Why We Should Be Protecting Pregnancy Centers From Extremists
Rudy Giuliani says the supermarket employee accused of slapping him should be prosecuted
Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani said he wants the supermarket employee accused of slapping him on the back as he campaigned for his son to be prosecuted, adding that if the suspect is released, it could encourage others to attack people with contrary political views. Giuliani detailed the Sunday attack at a Staten Island supermarket during a Monday morning news conference on his Facebook page. The adviser to former President Donald Trump said he stopped at the ShopRite to campaign for son, Andrew, who is vying for the Republican nomination for governor of New York, and was talking to people when he felt the smack on his back. Giuliani stumbled a step or two forward but did not fall, he said. The employee, Daniel Gill, 39, was charged with second-degree assault, according to the New York City Police Department. Giuliani believes Gill should be fired from his job and said, “Darn right, I think he should be prosecuted." “This guy should be imprisoned to say … [Read more...] about Rudy Giuliani says the supermarket employee accused of slapping him should be prosecuted
