Marc Benioff, who used to lean kind of liberal, has decided it's more convenient to be right-wing, and he owns Time. (I heard an interesting podcast conversation about how MAGA despises Silicon Valley oligarchs because they have no real commitments except maximal profit.)

One rule would strip aid from families where a member is in the U.S. illegally.
Families could keep their assistance if the ineligible member moves out. But HUD expects many families to give up assistance out of “fear of the family being separated.”

Speaking of October, it’s the perfect time to talk about the Epstein files. They contain the names of America’s most powerful, richest, and morally vile men. I am now certain that speaker Johnson is in there because why else would he make such an ass of himself to cover up the truth

News: Bari Weiss just sent a memo to staffers at CBS News asking them to produce a memo explaining "how you spend your working hours—and ideally, what you've made (or are making) that you're most proud of."
One CBS News staffer puts it like this to me: "We just got Elon Musked."
