To put it another way: Jeff Bezos could easily ensure there are no staff cuts at The Washington Post for the next decade, and he'd still have more than $249B in net worth left over.
Jeff Bezos' wedding last summer cost somewhere around $50M. That, alone, could have saved all 300 positions cut today at The Washington Post for a year.
Of course, he wouldn't have to choose. He could do both because he's worth $250B, which is nearly the GDP of New Zealand.

Like many of you, I have seen this video, and I'm demanding answers.
My team has reached out to ICE repeatedly and have yet to get clear answers.

I think that what’s going in Minneapolis is right up there among the worst things the federal government has ever done in US history. Plenty of bad things before, but terrorizing an entire city for weeks, just because it supports the opposition: that seems unprecedented.
It’s hard to accurately describe what is happening in Minneapolis without sounding crazy.
Unmarked rental vans all over the city, with people in military gear and no id jumping out of them to take captive anyone who looks nonwhite or who makes political speech they disagree with.

What happened in Minneapolis today is an inexcusable tragedy. My heart is with the victim's family and loved ones.
One thing is clear: ICE is out of control. We have to listen to local leaders warning that ICE is putting communities in danger.
ICE must leave Minneapolis now.

Senator Smith is right. ICE must immediately withdraw from Minneapolis to prevent further escalation. I am horrified by eyewitness accounts of masked ICE agents shooting someone in the head and killing them.
A US citizen has apparently been shot by ICE agents in Minneapolis. I’m gathering information, but the situation on the ground is volatile.

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month.
It’s about oil and regime change.
And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.

Fuck the corrupt pair, Witkoff and Kushner. They are selling out the West for Russian bribes. I don't understand why Congressional leaders here in the US are not louder, more outraged about what is happening, more willing to fight.

Reports say the Ukrainian side insists that any ceasefire must come without prior territorial concessions to Russia. The maximum they are willing to accept is a freeze along the current front line.
