What’s paying up…

X. The company, we are old enough to remember as Twitter, was held in contempt after failing to comply with a search warrant. Earlier this year, special counsel Jack Smith asked the social media company for “data and records” tied to former President Trump’s account related to the Jan 6 investigation. The filing also shows that the judge in the case didn’t want Trump to be aware of the warrant in case he tried to obstruct evidence or flee prosecution. X objected to the nondisclosure agreement part of the warrant leading to the delay. Now, X has to pay a $350,000 fine for missing the warrant’s deadline. It came as Trump was indicted last week for charges relating to the investigation but has pleaded not guilty.

Who people are talking about…

Lil Tay. Yesterday, her Instagram posted that the viral sensation and rapper died at 14 years old. Her father has yet to confirm her death. Lil Tay, whose legal name is Claire Hope, rose to fame when she was 9 years old for her explicit videos. She stopped posting in 2018 amid allegations that her family was exploiting the teen for profit. The family said her and her 21-year-old brother’s deaths are under investigation.

What's giving everyone whiplash...

Florida. Yesterday, state officials confirmed they will offer AP psychology after (almost) everyone and their teachers were told they were doing away with it. Despite the controversy around how the state plans to teach sexual and gender identity, the Sunshine State said the course “can be taught consistent with Florida law.” So...psyched.
