Ken Howery, an unassuming tech investor, has found himself in two of the noisiest storylines of the incoming Trump administration. One is the expanding ambition of Elon Musk, and the other is the expansionist ambition of President-elect Donald Trump, who has set his sights on buying Greenland.

Elon Musk’s attempts to sway German and UK politics thought ‘unacceptable’ – poll

I’m thinking Mangione blew it when we went to McDonald’s. He goes to a Waffle House and someone hides the gun for him and probably keeps it, he goes to a Popeyes and nobody is talking to the cops, he goes to a Starbucks and people buy him breakfast.

And still can’t figure out who planted bombs in Washington on Jan 6th

Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield rolled back a policy change that would have capped payments for anesthesia for patients, and would have denied claims altogether if any given procedure exceeded a time limit.

Thanks, folks.

My lesson from the first time around is that we absolutely cannot take things that the Trumpworld people say as gospel, given their total lack of specifics and total willigness to make grandiose pronouncements that are aimed at triggering the libs and making headlines.

This is really sticking it to the elites. Cut programs for middle- and low-income Americans to finance tax cuts for the wealthy. Good work, Trump voters! You're showing the powers-that-be who's boss around here.

really incredible that ICP came out in favor of Harris. just genuinely two dudes who are constantly beating expectations
