Seems like if you're going to make a national story out of Hasan Piker, who campaigned a few times with the Democratic Senate candidate in Michigan, saying Israel causes antisemitism, you should also make a national story out of the favorite intellectual of the US Vice President supporting Hitler.

WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive, 4-YEAR-LONG study of NEARLY 30 MILLION people in France found that individuals who received a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine had a 74% LOWER risk of death from severe COVID-19 compared to unvaccinated individuals and ZERO increased risk of all-cause mortality.

It’s stunning how the phrase “human extinction” has entered daily speech.

The @financialtimes.com Lex column notes today that it’s probably unnecessary for Anthropic to warn of human extinction in its IPO prospectus since there won’t be anyone around to file a lawsuit.

DoorDash has ripped off more than 260,000 NYC delivery workers. We’re making them pay $131.5 million — the largest worker settlement in City history. This is New York, where hard work pays and greed will cost you.

DoorDash messed up.
They repeatedly left more than 260,000 NYC delivery workers underpaid or paid late, causing them immense stress and financial difficulty.
That's unacceptable.
We've secured a $131.5M settlement from
DoorDash - the largest worker settlement in NYC history and largest delivery worker settlement in
American municipal history.
Every worker will be paid what they are owed, and every company will be forced to abide by the laws of this city.

The Post loves lip readers. Contents of Trump remarks to Zohran revealed: "I'll look after you." nypost.com/2026/09/22/u...

President Trump invited lefty Mayor Zohran Mamdani to visit him at the White House to “see how I work” after a meeting at Gracie Mansion Monday, a lip reader revealed.

“What I will say, we’ll look after you, but as I say, you’re doing great,” Trump said, expert lip reader Jeremy Freeman told The Post.

“I’ll look after you, you look after the New Yorkers,” the president said. “And we can both make it work. I wanna support you, help me. Come with me to the White House – see how I work.”

Milei sputtering www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

• Argentina's economic recovery is stalling, with gross domestic product shrinking 0.6% in the second quarter, the first contraction in two years.
• The latest GDP figures are "not nearly compelling enough to dispel political concerns" and investors worry that weakening support for President Javier Mile's program could increase the chances of a reversal of his fiscal and market reforms.
• Mile's approval rating stands at 38%, with 58% disapproving and 70% describing the job market as bad, leaving him vulnerable heading into the 2027 election.

@realDonald Trump
At the strong request of the United States Military, and for National Security purposes, I have agreed to convert the magnificent Triumphal Arch, planned since the Civil War Era many years ago, at the Receptive Circle adjoining the Arlington Memorial Bridge, into a top grade Military Complex/Triumphal Arch, to house, store, and have the rapid ability to use large numbers of drones, plus Snipers, on both the roof and plaza areas, and additionally have and hold large quantities of sniper ammunition in storage.
There will be no facility like this anywhere in the World. Out of the 59 top cities and Capitals, Washington, D.C., IS THE ONLY ONE IN THE WORLD THAT DOES NOT HAVE A TRIUMPHAL ARCH, but it will now and, by far, the greatest of them all! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President
DONALD J. TRUMP

The accounting is in: In Oregon there are 111 data centers. The TOTAL number of people employed at data centers is just 2,630, or 0.1% of the labor force. Those 100 data centers consumer 23% of all electricity used in Oregon. Meanwhile, electricity rates skyrocket as more centers are built.

Oregon data centers by the numbers: 111 facilities consume nearly one-quarter of state’s power, according to new report

A first-of-its-kind report details the footprint of the controversial facilities.

The part he leaves out of this is we’re governed by a moron

Interest Rates in the United States should be 1%, or less, because we are the Best Credit in the World — BY FAR. Our Country is BOOMING with new Investment! If we stopped Trading with every country that we have a Deficit with, which is most of them, we would make, at least, 1.5 Trillion Dollars a year. The word “Deficit” is nothing more than a fancy word for LOSS. We are “carrying” almost every country in the World, and that cannot go on any longer. LOWER THE INTEREST RATES FOR THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AND FAST! President DONALD J. TRUMP

From this year's edition of the Forbes 400. Trump down 44 in the rankings, one of the 44% of members who are extremely stingy. www.forbes.com/sites/chasew...

President Donald Trump has fallen 44 spots this year, from No. 201 last year to No. 245, amid declines in the value of his publicly traded $TRUMP meme coin and Truth Social parent company Trump Media & Technology Group. Trump is now worth an estimated $7 billion, down from $7.3 billion a year ago.

Trump is part of the 44% of Forbes 400 members who have donated less than 1% of their fortune, according to Forbes’ annual investigation into the lifetime charitable giving of every member of the ranking. Last year, 39% of the list had given less than 1%—meaning that, as the richest Americans’ net worths have shot up, their generosity has not increased. In all, nearly 80% of the list has given away less than 5% of their riches, though the number of super-high givers is growing. This year, Forbes found 13 billionaires who have given at least 20% of their wealth, earning a rare 5 giving score.
