Even if you are leader of the free world, you don’t just get an MRI without a clear reason to do so.

There’s no such thing as a “screening” MRI.

My two takeaways on this:

1. CNN's CEO is utterly craven. No surprise there.

2. The White House is getting very nervous about how poorly the demolition of the East Wing is going over with most Americans. Good.

Walz: "They are paying contractors to pay down the East Wing but they're not putting money into the food bank. So if there's a sense of frustration in America, it's very real ... when the White House press secretary said their top priority is the ballroom, we could not disagree more."

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.

Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.

The people who need help are not the problem.

It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

Fentanyl and coke are the new “weapons of mass destruction” lie. It’s Iraq all over again, folks. It’s always about controlling the oil.

A tweet from Morgan J. Freeman states:
“FACT: Venezuela is NOT a major producer of cocaine.
They do not have large cocaine factories.
They do not produce fentanyl either.
What Venezuela does have is the world’s largest oil reserves.”

Zohran Mamdani in Businessweek: “It’s not just that politics has felt removed from people’s lives, it’s that politicians have felt removed as well,” he says. “New Yorkers deserve to have a mayor they can see, they can talk to, they can yell at.” (🎁 link)

Allow Zohran Mamdani to Reintroduce Himself

New York City’s mayoral frontrunner has been working to build a governing coalition by meeting with all comers, including the business community that’s been bashing his plans.
