5:10pm- Joseph Mackinnon of Blaze Media writes: “CBS News' ‘60 Minutes’ recently boosted the grievances of activists who fancy themselves online narrative curators, including so-called "misinformation expert" Kate Starbird, the cofounder of the University of Washington's Center for an Informed Public. The liberal news network framed Starbird as a defender of truth and a victim of conservative criticism but failed to mention critical biographic information about the so-called expert, namely that she's a partisan who has taken money from the Biden administration and is named as a defendant in an ongoing legal battle over censorship.” You can read the full article here: https://www.theblaze.com/news/60-minutes-omits-critical-details-about-misinformation-expert-otherwise-painted-as-victimized-researcher

The bulk of that money, $10 million, went to the Silicon Valley Community Foundation, which passed the cash to organizations advocating for lighter prison terms and supporting lawyers representing illegal migrants in the US. The foundation also sent $625,000 to Impact Justice, which advocates giving homeowners stipends in exchange for housing newly released prisoners in private homes and whose founder, Alex Busansky, has called the US prison system ‘a direct legacy of slavery.’” You can read the full article here: https://nypost.com/2024/03/27/us-news/robert-f-kennedy-jr-s-vp-pick-has-a-long-history-of-supporting-criminal-justice-reform/#

During a press briefing announcing the suit, Attorney General Merrick Garland ridiculously explained: “As any iPhone user who has ever seen a green text message or received a tiny, grainy video can attest, Apple's anti-competitive conduct also includes making it more difficult for iPhone users to message with users of non-Apple products. It does this by diminishing the functionality of its own messaging app and by diminishing the functionality of third party messaging apps. By doing so, Apple knowingly, and deliberately, degrades quality, privacy, and security for its users."

5:15pm Are Donald Trump’s legal troubles a political gift? In his latest editorial, Gerard Baker of The Wall Street Journal writes: “As Donald Trump works to untangle himself from the latest legal knots his opponents have tied for him, a critical question for the presidential election is this: Are Americans who say they plan to vote for the former president doing so in spite or because of the sustained lawfare campaign he faces up to (and possibly beyond) Election Day?” You can read the full editorial here: https://www.wsj.com/articles/trumps-trials-are-a-political-gift-to-him-courts-2024-election-8a87de6e?mod=opinion_lead_pos6

3:05pm- Rebecca Picciotto of CNBC writes: “President Joe Biden on Saturday signed Congress’ $1.2 trillion spending package, finalizing the remaining batch of bills in a long-awaited budget to keep the government funded until Oct. 1. Almost halfway into the fiscal year, the president’s signature ends a months-long saga of Congress struggling to secure a permanent budget resolution and instead passing stopgap measures, nearly averting government shutdowns.” You can read the full article here: https://www.cnbc.com/2024/03/23/biden-signs-1point2-trillion-spending-package.html

3:25pm- In response to the House of Representatives passing a $1.2 trillion spending package on Friday, Congressman Scott Perry (R-PA) publicly objected to money going towards “processing” migrants entering the country unlawfully instead of prioritizing security at the U.S. Southern border which would prevent their entry in the first place.

3:45pm- Ben Protess and William K. Rashbaum of The New York Times write: “With Donald J. Trump on the clock to secure a nearly half-billion-dollar bond in his civil fraud case, a New York appeals court handed the former president a lifeline on Monday, saying it would accept a far smaller bond of $175 million. The ruling by a panel of five appellate court judges was a crucial and unexpected victory for Mr. Trump, potentially staving off a looming financial disaster. Had the court denied his request for a smaller bond in the fraud case, which was brought by the New York attorney general, Mr. Trump risked losing control over his bank accounts and even some of his marquee properties.” While speaking to the press outside of the courthouse, Trump said he plans to pay the newly reduced bond in cash.

4:05pm- The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board writes: “This isn’t the right kind of March madness. The Education Department’s confused rollout of the new Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or Fafsa, grew more chaotic Friday when it announced that incorrect data had been sent to colleges for hundreds of thousands of students. Congress in its infinite unwisdom jammed through a Fafsa redesign in the December 2020 omnibus spending bill. The new Fafsa was supposed to be simpler, but myriad government snafus have caused headaches for colleges, parents and students. ‘This is another unforced error that will likely cause more processing delays for students,’ the National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators (Nasfaa) CEO Justin Draeger said Friday. ‘At this stage in the game and after so many delays, every error adds up.’ Fafsa usually becomes available in early October, but the Education Department didn’t launch the new form until late December.” You can read more here: https://www.wsj.com/articles/student-aid-march-madness-fafsa-college-loans-18ae8361?mod=opinion_lead_pos2

6:05pm- Attorney Linda Kerns joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss her latest editorial for The Federalist, “If Pennsylvania Is Going To Flood Elections With Mail-In Ballots, We Need A Flood Of Poll Watchers.” Kerns writes: “When Pennsylvania counted its ballots in 2020, observers simply could not see what was happening in many counties in Pennsylvania, especially the larger ones like Philadelphia. The Pennsylvania legislature had just changed the law, no longer requiring an excuse to vote on a paper mail ballot before election day. Almost the same laws that historically applied to processing a limited number of paper absentee ballots remained in place for the thousands—or in larger counties, hundreds of thousands—of paper mail ballots. Pennsylvanians, and the entire country, soon learned that the laws for absentee balloting to mail-in balloting might have needed a bit more tweaking.” You can read Kerns’ full article here: https://thefederalist.com/2024/03/25/if-pennsylvania-is-going-to-flood-elections-with-mail-in-ballots-we-need-a-flood-of-poll-watchers/.
