Three men, fixated on amassing wealth, manipulate the government and undermine people's self-worth, claiming they have no future. Their wealth equals that of 170 million Americans. To sustain their riches, they exploit children for profit while neglecting the needs of the elderly.

Certainly!
Jim Acosta: I think the AP should consider whether or not to sue the administration… and the rest of the press corps should start seriously considering whether it’s worth sending everyone into the Oval Office, onto Air Force One, or into the briefing room.

The experts at Fox Business seem to have a firm grip on the pulse of the industry.
This is my new favorite headline

"This is deeply concerning. Show up, hold a press conference, and halt all Congressional business until this is reversed and Musk is removed from the agencies he controls."
We can’t let a mega rich dude shut down the main foreign aid program created and funded by Congress just because he doesn’t like it and has our president by the balls

Great! Who is Lola Young?
The #1 song in America is Bruno Mars with Lady Gaga singing a duet that I have literally never heard while Lola Young's "Messy" (the only song that exists in the whole world) is #97.

Donald J. Trump's Battle Against Breakfast
Americans voted for cheaper groceries. Less than a week on the job and Trump's already managed to get us into a trade war that will drive up the cost of coffee and be a gut-punch to American farmers and manufacturers, all because Colombia hurt his feelings.

After President Trump hit Colombia with tariffs, President Gustavo Petro said his government will "raise import tariffs from the U.S. by 25%"

As someone from her (and my) generation, it's a strange question. For many of us under 50, the Beatles don't really resonate. While their influence is undeniably there, we can easily go years without listening to their music.
I suspect the very worst thing you could do to Kemi Badenoch, from Kemi Badenoch’s point of view, is feel sorry for her. But there is no uncontroversial answer to the (stupid) question about your favourite Beatles song.
