Khashoggi's assassination was in hindsight one of the highly salient norm-shattering moments of impunity that helped recalibrate contemporary expectations for outrageous crimes: if you're rich & powerful enough, in the words of the President of the United States, "they just let you do it"

Looks like Trump’s new “steel plant” in IA, announced to shore up support in midterms from people his policies have crushed, where he said construction has already begun, is nowhere close to happening and contingent on Iowans giving tax breaks & incentives to a company in India.

New Yorkers who lost their SNAP benefits because of the federal government's expanded work requirements can reapply starting today, October 1.

To find out whether you're eligible to get your benefits back or qualify for an exemption, call 718-SNAP-NOW (718-762-7669), visit nyc.gov/ACCESSHRA, or use the ACCESS HRA app.

Again, much of Pete Hegseth’s deal is the only skill his job demanded for a long time was keeping a trim figure to be conventionally pretty for stay-at-home moms watching daytime tv. His job was “be pretty,” but he knows that’s a girl job, so he’s deeply insecure and is trying to make it a boy job.

Actually reviewing the checks that Chuck Grassley released yesterday to gauge how many people clearly asked Trump to do something other than pay Melania's dress designer with the money. Someone in the The Villages was using "Stop the Steal" by 11/20/20.
A $100 check made out to Trump for President, dated Nov. 20, 2020. The memo line reads "Stop the Steal" 

The address is mostly redacted but shows it was from The Villages in Florida.
