Hmm. Information on one cop. The local Eugene, Oregon police dept will give it to a reporter for the low low fee of $2.5 MILLION dollars. Do ya think that might be an attempt to discourage reporting? @laurenleharper.bsky.social's story in @theintercept.com

Here's JD Vance in Florida with a full-on racist dog whistle, telling a crowd that Democrat Angie Nixon should "get the hell out of [America]" because she supports Socialist principles that help us all, like Social Security, and Medicare, law enforcement, and safe roads.

Put another way, Ford wants to spend more on removing bike lanes in Toronto ($48M) than he's spent protecting all of Ontario's businesses from an international trade war. Ontario deserves serious leadership, that follows through on promises, and actually puts people before profits.

The Fed can’t magically reopen the Strait of Hormuz or repeal tariffs.⁣ ⁣ What it can do to slow inflation is freeze the economy until businesses stop raising prices.⁣ ⁣ The only problem with that is people will start losing their jobs. Not the best option.

There was a lot of chatter about Sarah Huckabee's ad using a white gamer loser in her ad about "work requirements," but the lede, to me, was that they were about *Medicaid* work requirements. IE, the gamer wasn't getting a welfare check. He just had health care!
