According to the chief judge of the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals, William H. Pryor Jr., the court has received more than 1,000 complaints about Trump’s favorite judge (and the love is obviously reciprocal) just since May 16. In his order directing the clerk to stop accepting complaints about Cannon, Pryor wrote that the post-May 16 complaints “raise allegations that are substantially similar to the allegations raised in previous complaints” and “appear to be part of an orchestrated campaign.” He went on to order the clerk “not to accept the judicial complaints against Judge Cannon received on and after May 16, 2024, under Rule 10(b) to the extent they are similar to previously filed complaints.” I’m not a lawyer but that seems to say that if you can make a new argument, the clerk will accept the complaint.

In the history of softball interviews, Dr. Phil McGraw's interview last night with convicted felon Donald Trump was the softballiest. And it was weird, too. Really weird. So, Dr. Phil is definitely a Trumper, and part of that might be that he doesn't want to fork over his fair share of taxes. The TV psychologist weighed in on the former reality TV show star's desire for retribution against his perceived enemies.

Fox News host Bill Hammer played video of MSNBC host Joy Reid's confrontation with Rep. Byron Donald's over his Jim Crow remarks and then played Donalds' actual words which proved Reid's point succinctly. The point is that Donalds did say 'Black America was better off in the Jim Crow era because they voted more conservatively and made it seem like Black families thrived under Jim Crow.' Fox News played a video mashup. Reid: Is there a specific period between 1867 and 1968 that you thought was this golden era for black families or a time that was good for black families? Donalds: Joy, I never said that.
