Americans will finally be told that fruits and vegetables are good and sodas are bad, why didn't anyone try this before
A food shaming campaign - lovely. Truly nothing more American. Can't wait til the influencers pushing this realize half their affiliate codes for protein products are 'ultraprocessed'.

Has Dan Bongino never had a fucking job?
Dan Bongino has a nice cry on Fox & Friends: "I gave up everything for this. I mean, my wife is struggling... I stare at these 4 walls all day in DC, you know, by myself, divorced from my wife. Not divorced, but I mean, separated. And it's hard."
(Note that Brian Kilmeade has to encourage him lol)

If Trump isn't named pope, the Conclave was rigged. That's how it works, right?

My #AI prediction:
CEOs are salivating at the idea of replacing all workers with AI. They will move too quickly on this with disastrous results. Some of it will be funny, but some of it won't. Some companies will double down despite failure,others will beg for workers to come back.

I owed Jim a steak, so we went to Sullivan's. We're sitting at the bar and there's an older guy sitting a couple seats away. We all order martinis. Drinks arrive, I ask if he's enjoying his martini. He says yes and then says that he "can tell we're good, hard working Americans." Lol, whut? #random

If you factor out the fact that I'm stabbing you in the face right now, you're actually pretty healthy.
Peter Navarro on CNBC reacts to the shrinking GDP number by insisting it's actually good news because if you strip out the effect of tariffs "you have 3 percent growth. So we really like where we're at now."

Subdeals? How do these journalists maintain their composure, I'd laugh in this guy's stupid fucking face!
RADDATZ: Trump said he's made 200 deals on tariffs. 200 deals? Who has he made deals with? Is there actually any deal at this point?
BESSENT: I believe that he is referring to subdeals within the negotiations we are doing

Woke up with terrible cramps, but pushed myself to go to #yoga anyway. My cramps are gone, and I feel so ready for the day! Never underestimate what exercise can do for you! #sundayfunday

Just finished reading Life of the Party, about Brownie Wise, the brains behind the ubiquitous Tupperware Party. Great lessons to be learned about working in #corporate. Never let your job be your entire identity! #books

The "anti-DEI" crew clearly don't know what DEI programs do. If companies and orgs are being pressured to remove these programs, I propose you simply rename them.

Is Trump just going to blame everything on "DEI" for the next 4 years? So exhausting.
