DHS Secretary Kristi Noem just ended Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for illegals here from Yemen. No idea how many this applies to but it will undoubtedly be challenged it court. Here’s more . . .

The Justice Department’s top antitrust official, Assistant Attorney General Gail Slater, announced Thursday on X that she was leaving her job, effective immediately. Attorney General Pam Bondi thanked Slater in a statement. Sources told the Financial Times that Omeed Assefi, another official in the antitrust division, would be the division’s acting director. Coming after months of internal clashes over merger enforcement and corporate oversight, Slater’s departure marks a setback for the administration’s more aggressive antitrust wing. She was seen as aligned with the administration’s more populist faction and had previously advised Vice President J.D. Vance in the Senate. Slater’s exit follows reported disputes with senior Justice Department leadership, including Bondi. The antitrust division is litigating major cases against companies including Google, Live Nation, Apple, and Visa. Slater’s exit leaves the antitrust division without confirmed leadership as it pursues those high-profile corporate cases. Shares of Live Nation, which will face a March 2 trial over allegations it monopolized concert promotion and ticketing through its subsidiary Ticketmaster, rose after Slater’s departure.  The post DOJ Antitrust Chief Gail Slater Departs appeared first on The American Conservative.

Miss May I have shared the video for the single “Die On The Vine.” “‘Die On The Vine’ captures a mid-life reckoning — coming to terms with how deeply childhood experiences and unresolved trauma shape who we become,” comments Miss May I. “The song reflects the moment where denial stops working and self-awareness sets in. If those patterns are something you have to live with, the choice becomes whether to decay under their weight or grow stronger through them.”  Die On The Vine The most recent album from Miss May I was ’22’s “Curse Of Existence,” Less than two years later, guitarists B.J. Stead and Justin Aufdemkampe left. They were replaced by Elisha Mullins. Then bassist Ryan Neff ditched As I Lay Dying and rejoined Miss May I. He was a founding member (’06 – ’07) along with vocalist Levi Benton (pictured above) and drummer Jerod Boyd. In ’25, “Pray For Silence” was the lead single for an album that is expected this year. “‘(The song) is as light as the album gets.,” offered Benton. “So I try to tell everybody, like, that’s the ballad of the album.” Pray For Silence ### The post Miss May I “Die On The Vine” appeared first on RockinTown.
