Illegal aliens can now become police officers in Washington State. Foreigners will be in charge of arresting American citizens.  Washington will allow fake asylum seekers and refugees to police Americans. That sounds like a recipe for disaster. It’s great for Democrats who have an Antifa/Black Lives Matter army. They will now have their police army […] The post Foreigners Can Be Police Officers in Washington State: Do Not Comply appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

The Justice Department moved Friday to block a lawsuit from Missouri challenging the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for allowing the abortion drug mifepristone to be shipped through the mail.  A filing from the DOJ argued that allowing the suit to move forward would inhibit a safety study on the abortion pill being conducted by the Trump administration. Missouri and several other Republican-led states have asked a judge to block a COVID-era policy that relaxed regulations for dispensing the abortion pill.  “Missouri, Kansas, and Idaho are not the only plaintiffs to have challenged the current conditions of use for mifepristone,” the Justice Department wrote. “Given this widespread debate over the safety of mifepristone, FDA has concluded that the best path forward is for the agency to undertake its review based on all the evidence before the agency.” The filing asked the judge to put the lawsuit on hold while the FDA reviews the Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) for mifepristone or dismiss the case altogether. It comes as pro-life advocates and lawmakers have called for the Trump administration to crack down on mail-order abortion pills.  Last year, FDA Administrator Marty Makary and Health and Human Services Director Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said that they initiated the REMS review. The study has yet to be released, and pro-life lawmakers and advocates have grown impatient as abortions continue to increase in states where medication abortion is banned due to an influx of outside pills.  A spokesman for the Justice Department told The Daily Wire that the intent of the filing was to allow the FDA to oversee drug policy, not the federal court system.  “In this filing, the Department of Justice requested more time from the court for the FDA to complete its review of mifepristone REMS,” the spokesman said. “As the Supreme Court recognized in a unanimous ruling less than two years ago, it is the role of the FDA – not the federal courts – to evaluate drug safety data and impose appropriate precautions.” The filing from the DOJ dismisses concerns from pro-life states that FDA policies allow abortionists to ship pills into their states. The department said that states “remain free to make and enforce their pro-life policies” and that the federal government is not “standing in the way of Intervenor Plaintiffs enforcing their abortion laws against out-of-state prescribers of mifepristone.” The filing mirrors another one from January, where the DOJ asked a judge not to grant a request from Louisiana also seeking to block the FDA’s abortion pill mailing policy. Data indicate that tens of thousands of abortions are still happening in states like Texas, where medication abortion is banned. While Attorney General Ken Paxton has attempted to penalize abortionists accused of shipping pills into the state, New York has so far refused to cooperate due to shield laws put in place for abortionists.  The Friday filing was condemned by Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America President Marjorie Dannenfelser, who has been a vocal critic of the Trump administration’s handling of medication abortion.  “The pro-life movement has very simple demands,” she said. “There should be no place on the market for drugs meant to poison and kill innocent human beings – but at the very least, this administration can and should take them out of the mail. This is no more or less than the policy of the first Trump administration.” The Justice Department spokesman told The Daily Wire the department remains “committed to advancing President Trump’s pro-life agenda, including through dismissing criminal prosecutions and civil lawsuits against peaceful pro-life advocates targeted by the previous administration, and using the FACE Act to protect pro-life pregnancy centers.”

The Justice Department announced Monday that it may have reached a settlement in its antitrust lawsuit against Ticketmaster and parent company Live Nation Entertainment. Though nothing is confirmed yet, the DOJ announced in Manhattan federal court that the case was likely nearing a conclusion after the term sheet was signed on Thursday, per the Associated Press. An unnamed official told the outlet that the terms included Live Nation paying a fine of up to $280 million and divesting some properties to allow for more competition in the ticket sales industry. The official said the settlement was a “win-win for everybody.” Certain states were allegedly not on board with the proposed terms, however, and Judge Arun Subramanian called the terms “entirely unacceptable.” New York Attorney General Letitia James said in a statement that the settlement “fails to address the monopoly at the center of this case.”  “My attorney general colleagues and I have a strong case against Live Nation, and we will continue our lawsuit to protect consumers and restore fair competition to the live entertainment industry,” she said, adding that she preferred to move forward with the trial. Washington State Attorney General Nick Brown has a similar take, saying, “[the] case against Live Nation is strong, and the state coalition is committed to holding the company accountable for its illegal behavior, protecting consumers and restoring competition to this market,” the outlet noted. The lawsuit was originally filed in 2024 under the Biden administration, as WSJ reported. About 40 states came together to sue the entertainment company. U.S. Justice Department lawyer David Dahlquist summarized the charges during opening statements last Tuesday, as The Daily Wire previously reported. “This case is about power, the power of a monopolist to control competition,” Dahlquist said. “Today, the concert ticket industry is broken.” Attorney David Marriott, who is representing Live Nation, said it wasn’t so. “We’ll let the numbers do the talking. We do not have monopoly power,” he said in response. The complaint alleges that the company engages in “anticompetitive conduct” that results in higher fees, fewer opportunities for artists, and limited ticketing options. The filing occurred after the infamous 2022 incident when Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour pre-sale tickets caused the Ticketmaster site to crash, with thousands of fans — and bots — swarming the site all at once. This Taylor Swift incident led to congressional hearings beginning in January 2023. Ticketmaster was founded in 1976 and merged with Live Nation in 2010. Over the years, the company has clashed with fans and artists, with many accusing the company of having predatory prices. The rock band Pearl Jam testified before Congress on the issue all the way back in 1994, but their efforts ultimately led nowhere.

If there was one fictional town that we’d love to spend Christmas in, it’s Stars Hollow, Connecticut. We want to walk through the town with Rory and Lorelai Gilmore, sip hot cocoa, and watch the snow cover the trees. Since Gilmore Girls went off the air in May 2007, after seven years on TV, fans have longed to get back to Stars Hollow. We did get a special Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life in 2016. It quenched our thirst at the time, but a decade later, fans want more. During a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight, star Lauren Graham hinted at a Gilmore Girls Christmas. Lauren Said There’s Always Talk About a ‘Gilmore Girls’ Christmas Lauren Graham loves her Gilmore Girls family and would love the chance to reunite with the cast. “I don’t want to fuel any flames, but there’s always talk,” she said of a Christmas movie. In the meantime, Lauren and Gilmore Girls creator, Amy Sherman-Palladino, are working on a book about the show. Lauren told Extra it will take some time for the book to get to print, but she looks forward to fans having a chance to read it.   “I think it’ll be a story about Gilmore Girls, but also to me it’s a story of friendship, and it’s a story of kind of these two people, you know, we met at a certain place, and now we’re friends and colleagues still many years later,” she shared. “I would argue closer friends. So, that’s some of what it will be.” We love all things Gilmore Girls and truly hope a Christmas movie makes it to our screens. We’d really love to see Rory as a mom and Lorelai as a grandmother. And can you imagine Emily Gimore as a great-grandmother? We can dream, right? This story’s featured image is by Michael Buckner/Variety via Getty Images.
