I do meat and potatoes digital for political campaigns. All comments, retweets and likes are my own, not my employers, and likely stupid.

After the Bears fired him in 1993, Ditka made a cameo appearance on the SNL cold open with the Superfans. What a loss.

US Gov will end up owning a large portion of Open AI and Anthropic. This is not going to work out anyway near the shimmering tale they have sold. Everyone is going to be left holding the bag on this one. Gov stepping in will likely be justified on security grounds but also really to save the economy.
Nothing new to my normal followers here, but I do think this this is likely coming.

A little known fact about the CARS universe, is that post-World War 2 many Volkswagens, BMWs and Mercedes fled to Cargentina to avoid the Nuremberg Time Trials

😤I'm gonna go to bed... I still can't believe someone tried today to litigate my son's sensory needs, literally trying to argue roughly "Well he can do *this*, but he can't do *that*?!" in a performative fashion. Like dude could have literally talked to my son months ago... 🤷

This was an interesting case. Ateba used to go to press briefings a daily pass from 2018 to early 2021. In February 2021, he got a "hard pass" that gave him established access, which expired in July 2023 when the policy was changed (the news outlet that he ran by himself wasn't accredited by the SCOTUS press gallery or the House or Senate press galleries). He wasn't singled out.
In any event, Ateba was still able to go to press briefings because was granted a day pass *every time he requested one* under the Biden administration. It actually turned out, as Ateba confirmed in his lawsuit (which was unsuccessful), that he was never denied a day pass until the second Trump administration started.
More details here in his unsuccessful appeal of his lawsuit (Harmeet Dhillon was one of his attorneys): courthousenews.com/wp-conten…
Never forget that the Biden White House KICKED OUT African Journalist Simon Ateba for Asking Questions..
Not one member of the corporate press called it out as an "attack on free speech".
They stayed silent.
Where was CNN?
Where was MSNBC?
Where was Politico?
Ateba sued and was allowed back into the briefing room. Where Karine Jean Pierre stuck him in the back and never called on him.
Legacy media doesn’t care about free speech or journalism they only care about their power to lie, smear and manipulate.

As far gasoline prices, they peaked higher during Biden's term, but they've been elevated longer during Trump's term. Diesel is higher under Trump.
More importantly, the high gas prices weren't due to Biden's decision -- it was caused by Russia's invasion of Ukraine. In contrast, the current high gas prices are due to Trump decision to bomb Iran.

Just drove through Clinton, Iowa, and stopped at @Culvers. After Lara finished taking my order, she looked at my sweatshirt and said, “I’m old enough to know who Walter Payton was.”
I told her, “That’s my dad.”
She freaked out!
Then 17-year-old Ze lost it, too. He told me WP was his favorite football player.
Before our food even came out, I took pictures with everyone. What a special, unexpected moment.
Thank you, Lara & the entire team for making my day. 🙏🏽
@WalterPayton, you have no idea the impact you left down here. Your legacy continues to touch people in places you never imagined. 🙏🏽

I’ll point out that this factory — for a company that owes tens of millions of dollars to a Canadian lender — has been closed for about a year now

Dude got called out on social media for riding a bike without a helmet. Realizing yeah, good call, starts wearing one and then a few days later he's promoting free helmets for the public. How can anyone hate on this guy?

BUT the downside: what this means is that major YouTubers who have been working hard to get recognition for driving quality, highly engaged viewership are going to be lumped in in public reporting with millions of shorts creators who drive their impressions from lower quality fews

was genocide denialism apart of your progressive record?
This is wrong @RoKhanna. All three of us who lost in NYC had very progressive records (including supporting Medicare for All) and we all had the overwhelming support of actual working families — labor unions, public housing residents and immigrant communities. That’s because we all have gone to battle for those communities and offered practical and meaningful solutions that could actually get passed in a system that requires bipartisanship.
