Rollins: "As the price has continued to creep up for a pound of ground beef, normal supply and demand would tell you the demand would go down, and then the prices follow. What's happening is the opposite. Prices have continued to rise &people have continued to buy. That's the long-term good news."

Tomorrow, on October 1, the biggest transfer of wealth from the working class to the wealthy hits a critical milestone. Many of the provisions from the Big Ugly Bill will go into effect, harming hundreds of thousands of Michiganders in order to create tax cuts for the richest people in America.

The Pentagon is notifying millions of current and former U.S. military servicemembers and staff that hackers stole their *unencrypted* personal information during a months-long data breach. The agency that had the breach also handles ID and login/credential access to U.S. military systems and bases.

Something remarkable is happening: James Talarico is running an expansively pro-immigrant campaign in Texas, a state Trump won by 14 points, speaking in Biblical terms about our duty to "the stranger." And it's resonating. That's seismic. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2160...

In Texas, Something Seismic Is Happening—and It’s All Trump’s Fault
Thanks to the economy and ICE, Trump has lost Texas Latinos. And James Talarico is developing a humane pro-immigrant message that’s resonating—even in this ultra-Trumpy state.

Israel is treating an incident aboard flydubai FZ1073 (Dubai to Tel Aviv) as a terror incident. Officials say the Omani copilot stabbed the Emirati captain over Jordan and tried to take control. The captain signaled a possible hijacking and the jet dropped about 14,000 ft in a minute.

Another theory: Schmitt's said his team had texts about a basketball game and found that the Hawks were the only NBA/NCAA mens game on that night. (They could not imagine Smith going to a women's game). But there were six NBA games on that day h/t @ericcolumbus.bsky.social

Black text that reads:

229 new affordable homes are coming to the Bronx.

We just broke ground on Sol on Park:
• 80 homes for current NYCHA residents
• 69 homes for formerly homeless seniors
• 79 homes for low- and middle-income seniors
• 8,000 sq. ft. of community space, including a health and wellness center 

This is what’s possible when we invest in NYCHA and use the power of government to build a City where New Yorkers come first.

Schmitt: We had information Jack Smith was at a basketball game. There was only one NBA game that night which is why I asked him if he was in Atlanta.
That's what these hearings are for. You ask questions, you get answers. Smith has perjured himself before, but... maybe he's a Caitlin Clark fan. We'll accept that.x.com/Acyn/status/21...
