Saying Trump is “transactional” is just a gentle way of saying he’s corrupt. Every power he has been trusted with, he treats as a way to extract favors and benefits from anyone he sees as situationally vulnerable.

Not only is ICE snatching hard working people who are trying to earn a living, they’re taking their money too?
A witness recorded ICE agents taking a cash box from a taco stand in La Puente during an operation where four people were arrested.

The President of the United States unilaterally levied a tax on all of us and is redistributing our taxes to a core segment of his supporters.
Trump: "I'm delighted to announce this afternoon that the US will be taking a small portion of the hundreds of billions of dollars we receive in tariffs ... and we're going to be giving and providing it to the farmers in economic assistance. We love our farmers. The farmers like me ... $12 billion"

Why Are There Suddenly So Many Car Washes?
Fueled by private equity and a subscription-based business model, the auto wash industry is flooding the US with new outlets. Some towns and cities have had enough.

The Supreme Court, Presidency, Senate and two party system are all quite anti-democratic institutions as presently constructed.
Our institutions are not only incapable of preventing tyranny—they’re currently enabling it.
When democracy returns, we need to reform our political system.

whoopsie doopsie! turns out the defense industry we spent decades insulating from accountability and handing budget-busting sums because our lawmakers are addicted to the sludge pumped into their campaign war chests is now immovable and unable to change. who could have foreseen this?
written in exactly the kind of language that high-level decision-makers love but if you peel back the layers, it's railing against bloat and cost overruns as a way to sell newer, more expensive, "high tech" bloat

Make no mistake—both Netflix and Paramount are fucking awful choices in the continued consolidation of our industry but if it comes down to Kushner and the Saudis, Netflix is the lesser of two evils
Jared Kushner's involvement was "not mentioned in Paramount's press release on Monday morning about its $108 billion bid, nor were participating sovereign wealth funds from Saudi Arabia, Abu Dhabi and Qatar."

Jared Kushner is part of Paramount's hostile bid for Warner Bros. Discovery

I've always thought that the whole "natural immunity is the best way to protect people" thing was a bit like saying "getting pregnant is the best form of birth control."
Anyway, cool to see it's better for the immune system to see vaccine before virus from an effectiveness standpoint too.
