The PALPABLE jealousy Joe Kernan has for Andrew Ross Sorkin is as amusing as it is disgusting to watch.
Sorkin's new best-seller must be stuck in Kernen's craw. He knows he will never be as intelligent or articulate as Sorkin. Hence the nit-picking re "correct" terms for army/naval bases. Seriously?

Trump: SNAP benefits to begin only when US government opens
U.S. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that food assistance benefits for the poor will be given out only when the federal government shutdown ends, again blaming opposition Democrats for the stalemate in Congress.

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance.
The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income.
They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.
Wanna fix fraud and abuse?

The fact a *single* Amazon full-time employee requires SNAP benefits should be a crime. The fact Amazon is the largest employer of SNAP recipients is a disgrace. Jeff Bezos shouldnt be that rich; he should be in jail.

Leadership looks like repeating the truth again and again and refusing to back down to bullies and pressure.
It looks like using your platform and leverage-- whatever it may be -- for the larger good.

Pritzker: "You just heard a tidal wave of lies from the VP. It's a bit shocking. And you heard over & over him just making things up. There's a reason why the judge here in federal court said that they admin lacks credibility and why even the Nobel committee chair said the admin lacks integrity."

On a casual Saturday night, #Bitcoin surged to $125,000, a new all time high. This makes Bitcoin worth a record $2.5 trillion.
Meanwhile, #gold has hit 40 record highs in 2025 and is now worth a whopping $26.3 TRILLION.
That's more than 10 TIMES the value of Bitcoin....

This serves no one except Grover Norquist, but then again, this is what 77M Americans voted for. SMH.

The FASCIST wooing of our military loyalty - away from our Constitution - has officially begun. ⏳
However, the generals assembled by the Secretary of War at Quantico need to remember that "I was merely following orders" will not exempt them from the consequences of treason.
