NEW: Proceeds from official inaugural merchandise usually fund inaugural events.
But Trump’s merch sales?
They’re heading to the RNC and his Never Surrender PAC—a fund he can tap into for personal expenses.

Trump Breaks Tradition By Redirecting Inaugural Swag Funds To His PAC
Rather than flowing to the nonprofit organizing his inaugural, some proceeds from merchandise sales are being directed to Trump's PAC.

If a person’s policies, votes, and beliefs all are in service of doing you harm, you shouldn’t mistake their friendliness to you as a sign they’re a good person or that they care about you.

I’m not wearing a mask because I’m afraid of COVID, I’m wearing it because I got tired of people falling in love with how devastatingly handsome I am when I don’t wear it.

The last week on Twitter has me thinking of finally pulling the posting plug on it. Too many horrible people seeking profit, attention, and fascism and too little utility compared to when it was decent.

I also don't want to hear your anecdote about your cat that went outside all the time and lived to be 20 as if that's proof that it's fine. Congratulations on your exception but statistically, letting cats outdoors in North America drastically shortens their lives. aercmn.com/indoor-cats-...

Terms like conservative, moderate and liberal don't mean the same thing to all voters, as @hakeemjefferson.bsky.social has shown in his work. Clear majority of black conservatives vote Democratic, nearly all white conservatives vote GOP. Most black conservatives support reparations. wapo.st/3rBydNl

Perhaps Gannett could occasionally free up its new Taylor Swift and Beyoncé reporters so they could help with the Lou education beat?

Louisville needs good education reporters. Imagine if our TV stations invested in them instead of doing the sensationalist and shallow "investigative" journalism that so many of them engage in.
