If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

A Man Was Lynched Yesterday
Alex Pretti was killed by people who celebrated his death. They do not need better training. They demand a moral movement to disarm them and reconstruct democracy.

Homan to MN, Trump speaks with Walz, Leavitt marginally distances Trump from Noem—all show Trump’s feeling a little heat. But these gestures mean as much as Putin suggesting he’s changed and wants peace with Ukraine.
Don’t fall for it.
Insist: ICE and CBP off the streets of Minnesota.

What. The. Fuck!
WOW.
Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump.
Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

After Trump warned about Tylenol and autism, researchers investigated — and found no link
A paper published Friday did not find any evidence for the claim that Tylenol use in pregnancy raises the risk of autism, ADHD or intellectual disabilities.
