For more book sales perspective, I sold 1000 copies of THE LAST AMERICAN ROAD TRIP in *one store* in St Louis the week it came out. With far less PR and, like the poster below, a much smaller advance. On the plus side, I didn't have sex with RFK Jr!
I’ve coverd more of the book sales waterfront than most, bestsellers & tiny sellers, popular works & deliberately fringe works. But i feel confident of 2 truths: her advance was more than that of my 8 books together, & yet every one of them outsold this. www.forbes.com/sites/maryro...

Duffy on what he's doing to improve the airport experience for travelers: "Maybe I want a workout area where people might get some blood flowing doing some pull ups or step ups in the airport."

Ilhan Omar rose from a single parent immigrant family where her dad drove a taxi to her current position. Trump is the kid of a racist wealthy slum landlord who headed multiple failed businesses. One of these people is the example of failed ambition and it's not her.

Let’s be clear:
Republicans are 💯 responsible for the government shutdown. They don’t need a single vote from Democrats to reopen.
Republicans are 💯 responsible for firing thousands of federal workers. They don’t need a single layoff to offset the shutdown. It’s their Project 2025 playbook.

Was Tuberville counted at his residence in Florida or in Alabama where he serves in the Senate?
Tommy Tuberville on the 2020 census: "The Democrats were letting illegals come in for a different count. They obviously had a census going that was all rigged. The 2020 election basically was rigged."
(Believe it or not, Donald Trump was president in 2020.)

Every single one of these clips was taken today in downtown Portland. Portland doesn’t want or need a federal takeover. If Trump insists on sending federal “resources” he can start with funding health care, bridges, affordable housing, and wildfire protection to name a few.
