Say what you will about social media, but there was no other point in history where you got to read thousands of people trying to explain Catholicism directly to the Pope

One thing that seems like it would be potentially valuable right now is for some kind of private/academic consortium to try to compile and release data about the state of the economy, since it seems like official stats are almost certainly going to be either nonexistent or wildly unreliable.
NEW — I spoke to DoorDash about the White House claiming the company's report shows "inflation has been tamed" and whether that's an interpretation one should make. An economist also weighed in, pointing out dictatorships use data obfuscation as a tool, and right now they're "grasping at straws."
WH claims 'inflation tamed,' per DoorDash stats. Company says that's not in its report.
It comes the same week we learned the WH would likely not release key economic reports for October.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

The NFL season is back, and so is our annual housing market face-off. This year, we scanned the NFL divisions to see where first-time buyers have the best shot to move the chains toward the homeownership end zone.

MSNBC has zero moral authority to talk about cowardice of Disney, ABC, or Republicans for bending the knee to MAGA when they did exact thing in their termination of me and others. They are doing the exact thing they complain about others doing.

The US military will likely find that Charlie Kirk fans wanted to say bigoted things and maybe become podcasters, not sacrifice and put themselves at risk for national service.
of all the stupid things they've floated so far, this definitely makes the top five list
Military leaders consider recruiting campaign centered around Charlie Kirk
Possible slogans discussed include “Charlie has awakened a generation of warriors.” There is talk of using Turning Point USA chapters as recruitment centers.
