(📢) MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: The Daily Beast publishes a sourced allegation that Trump has been a Russian spy since 1987 and then—possibly under some form of threat—deletes it. But in an act of unusual heroism, it left it up long enough for Wayback Machine to capture it text.

The past few months have been a blur at Big Bro’s - it’s wild to think about how much the shop has changed since we moved in just a few months ago! The business turns 10 years old this fall, and we’re ready to kick off our second decade in style!

Powerful message from @jimacosta.bsky.social as he resigns from CNN today:
“It is never a good time to bow down to a tyrant…Do not give in to the lies. Don’t give into the fear. Hold on to the truth and to hope.”
