According to the linked article, Federal courts have ruled against ICE in approximately 90% of detention cases in connection with Trump's mass deportation agenda. Not surprisingly, ICE and its xenophobic followers attribute this to activist judges, radical left-wing lunatics, and the usual catchphrases.

However, the extent of rulings against ICE are telling: out of 11,600 court decisions, 10,200 went against ICE. According to the article, Politico has released the full database of those rulings.

When the Federal government demands 10% ownership of a company in return for a bailout, and approves another company's foreign merger only in return for veto power over the merged company's major decisions -- anyone who does not recognize that as socialism is blinded by the orange fool's fake tan glow.

I am very thankful that Spirit Airlines did not agree to a similar Trumpist takeover; had they done so, Don the Con definitely would have had his chubby diseased hands in the till. Considering Trump's war of choice on Iran and resulting skyrocketing jet fuel prices definitely put the final nail in Spirit's coffin, that would have been a decidedly corrupt look (even considering the source).

Section 8.2.2.1 of Mediacom's updated service agreement states that, for customers who use Mediacom's routers / gateways, that equipment [which the customer pays to lease] is also used to broadcast Mediacom's Wi-Fi network for their cell customers (Mediacom Mobile Service) as well as the customer's own home Wi-Fi. (Mediacom cell phones default to using Wi-Fi where available rather than cell networks.)

I don't know if this is standard practice among cell service providers. It seems to me that if a customer pays to lease equipment and pays for Mediacom Wi-Fi at a specified bandwidth, that if Mediacom is also using that equipment to service their cell customers, the home customer's bandwidth might be negatively affected.

In any event, in the same section noted above, a phone number is provided for home customers to inform Mediacom that they do not want their leased equipment used to also broadcast Mediacom's Mobile Service Wi-Fi network.

Three years ago we moved to a small development where Mediacom is the only provider. Mediacom recently sent an updated service agreement which stated (among other things) that if a customer rents their Wi-Fi equipment from Mediacom, Mediacom will use that equipment to provide service to Mediacom's Wi-Fi network (Mediacom Mobile, for cell phone customers) as well as the home customer's Wi-Fi. Mediacom's cell phone network defaults to Wi-Fi where available.

In other words, Mediacom is charging home Wi-Fi customers to rent equipment, which Mediacom also uses to extend its own Wi-Fi network.

I am posting this here to ask if Comcast / Xfinity does the same? We were Comcast / Xfinity customers for 20+ years at our previous home, but unfortunately only Mediacom is available in our small community.

FDA is proposing to add several unapproved peptides to their "503A Bulks List" which permits individual compounding of listed compounds pursuant to a physician's prescription. These will be discussed at a meeting of the Pharmacy Compounding Advisory Committee on July 23 and 24, 2026. This information is noteworthy because Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is a strong proponent of the use of such compounds.

The individual peptides to be discussed each day are listed below.
