Weird how voluntarily being Trump's bitch never works out like you hope it will.
The White House’s new anti-media website includes denunciations of:
-ABC, which bribed the president
-CBS, which bribed the president and moved away from fact-based journalism trying to appeal to him and his fans
-WaPo, which spiked a Harris endorsement and tilts coverage in Trump’s favor
Fools.

Dimon on why JPMorgan Chase is not funding WH Ballroom:
We have an issue, which is anything we do, since we do a lot of contracts with governments here and around the world, we have to be very careful how anything is perceived, and also how the next DOJ is going to deal with it.

Related to pt 2, anyone in a state or national Dem leadership position who still thinks ICE brutality isn’t a “kitchen table issue” is completely delusional.
It’s a topic at family dinner. It’s a topic at my aunt’s book club. It’s a topic at my uncle’s church group. They see it for what it is.

Extended fam in Hibbing asked about St Paul ICE raids at dinner yesterday. So we told them about @katiestp.bsky.social arrest at Bro-Tex.
2 takeaways:
1) Thankful to have supportive family
2) A *lot* more people in small places are aware of & repulsed by ICE than we probably give them credit for

Yes, HID headlights are very bright but the bigger problem is the proliferation of gargantuan vehicles with 5’+ hood heights so that if you’re driving a normal sized car their headlights are at your eye level rather than seat level like they’re supposed to be.
