Amazon is quietly raising prices much more than its competition.
While many companies are raising prices and blaming tariffs, Amazon prices have skyrocketed by an average of 12.8% this year.
Their biggest competitors, Walmart and Target, have raised prices about 5%.

I have one slight disagreement with this post.
There is at least one story bigger than that of a president instigating a plot to end U.S. democracy.
And that is the story that a president is instigating his *second* plot to end U.S. democracy.

They sent National Guard and Marines to "protect federal buildings" from Democrats. MEANWHILE the GOP was plotting to wreak destruction on the White House! The danger is in Washington DC and the troops are guarding the WRONG buildings!

I for one think the Epstein Ballroom will be magnificent. I love the decor theme of “what if Uday Hussein ran a Ramada Inn.” And giving it a theme song everyone will associate with it is a stroke of brilliance! “Thank Heaven for Little Girls” is very catchy.

Authoritarianism doesn't happen in a vacuum. It requires enablers. When a leader posts fantasies of monarchical rule, and his entire party looks the other way, they become complicit. The issue isn't just Trump's posts; it's the institutional decay of a party that refuses to be a check on his power.
