Unironically they should buy up the domains for about 60 defunct local newspapers in swing states. Hire two reporters to write almost exclusively about highschool sports and new restaurants opening with every 10th article about how the local GOP is screwing over people.
NEWS:
Democratic mega-donors are debating plans to spend tens of millions of dollars on a range of influencer plans to "find the liberal Rogan."
We've got pitch decks, investor meetings, and internal docs.
One Democrat has a spreadsheet of 26 different proposals.

Counterintuitive, but: this will crush the US wine industry. Booze gets to market on distributors' trucks. These fleets need volume to run efficiently. Subtract EU wine from the equation & it no longer pencils out. Any gains from less competition would likely be paid back out in margin loss.

Having worked in the industry…yup. It’s beyond galling that they’re not even looking at it.

Employees at Housing and Urban Development (HUD) had to go through security screenings today, as part of a new office entry process instituted late Friday. As a result, employees had to wait up to two hours to get in the building. Eventually, everyone was just let in. Ah, efficiency.
