It’s curious that Centene Corp. #CNC is trading up the past few weeks after a fall in June when they removed 2025 guidance. It’s possible removal of the Medicaid expansion sweetens their outlook. One of the weird outcomes of the shutdown wranglings?

Closing the carried interest loophole=Hitler's invasion of Poland.
Opening up 1 public grocery store in each boro=socialism.

![• Alex Chilton, the former lead singer of Big Star, recalled receiving middle-of-the-night phone calls from Wilson asking him to sing on a recording of "Shortenin' Bread'' ("He was telling me I have the perfect voice for it"). [31]
• The Monkees' Micky Dolenz said that when he tripped on LSD with Wilson, John Lennon, and Harry Nilsson, Wilson played "Shortenin' Bread" on piano "over and over again". [291
• Biographer Peter Ames Carlin wrote that Elton John and Iggy Pop were bemused by an extended, contumacious Wilson-led singalong of "Shortenin' Bread", leading Pop to flee the room proclaiming, "I gotta get out of here, man. This guy is nuts!"[32]
• Musician Alice Cooper recalled that Wilson considered "Shortenin' Bread" to be the greatest song ever written. According to Cooper, when he asked why, Wilson responded
"I don't know, it's just the best song ever written." [33]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cfy5rgqvohpdqxgu2geb5u2b/bafkreiezoi2xwo35alw7yhztpyuwpiuikzdsnj63tek5fzaspvfj2dxgve@jpeg)

Good morning, it's a new day, and yet another day in which steel tariffs are going to save a handful of jobs in Pittsburgh, but cost thousands of jobs across the rest of the steel-reliant manufacturing sector.

Without Trump there is no Pope Leo XIV
Based on his choice of name alone, he’s the opposite of Trump. Leo XIII set the foundation for Catholic social teaching, and taught capitalism is good but the pursuit of profit alone is sinful
