Blows me away how phenomenal LONE STAR is. Truly transcendent storytelling. Few films would dare have a sequence as goofy-yet-gut-punching as that third act moment between Chris Cooper and Frances McDormand. Says so much without having to spell a single syllable out. It’s just remarkable.

(around photos of Jeff Bezos and an Amazon employee) Jeff Bezos made $90 billion in profit... because of their hard work.

Amazon's profits went UP 45%, but its taxes went DOWN 87%.

Thanks to Trump's "Big Ugly Bill," Amazon paid just $1.2 billion in taxes (down from $9 billion last year).

Hardworking Americans are struggling, while Republicans hand massive tax breaks to the Epstein class.

Our allies in Israel have shown amazing capability when it comes to collapsing the murderous regime in Iran. America is most appreciative.
However, there will be a day soon that the Iranian people will be in charge of their own fate, not the murderous ayatollah's regime.
In that regard, please be cautious about what targets you select. Our goal is to liberate the Iranian people in a fashion that does not cripple their chance to start a new and better life when this regime collapses. The oil economy of Iran will be essential to that endeavor.

Three screenshots of books that have not yet been released.
