Maybe telling your core customers to fuck off isn't a winning strategy. Here's a thought, maybe marketing to the 60% of Americans who aren't raging racist scum would be a good business plan.

What I would like to call Leavitt to her face is something I learned never to call a woman.
An important part of the job for any WH Press Secretary is to clean up remarks made by the president or offer explanation/context or apology when warranted. But Leavitt never does that. She always crafts a response that makes it even worse by adding her own toxic twist.

Tell Trump, he'll fix it the same way he's going to fix health insurance.
Home insurance is in crisis, and Big Oil's lies are to blame.
"We’re never going to bend the curve of ever-rising insurance costs without addressing the core driver of higher prices: the worsening climate disasters that Big Oil knowingly made a reality," explains CCI's @iylas.bsky.social.

It's amazing that the Riverside County Sheriff is actually doing their job.
Great news. This is what an ICE agent looks like in a mugshot. Meet Gerardo Rodriguez, 45, of Temecula, courtesy of the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office. Arrested for "illegally detaining a minor at gunpoint while off duty last week." 🧵

Besides wanting a Congress that will go back and repeal every act where they have ever ceded power to the executive branch, I want every level of government to take a weed whacker to their codes

May this be a sign of Tesla's death rattle.
Tesla's car biz (worth only $78 per share vs Tesla's current price of $402) is imploding.
Overseas sales in Oct were -33%, the lowest start of Q4 sales on record.
US EV sales at carmakers reporting monthly sales were -71% MoM & -49% YoY after Sept EV rush.

ICE says video from inside the facility "between October 19, 2025, and October 31, 2025, has been irretrievably destroyed" and can't be produced in discovery.
