You simply do not get rich enough to buy a $60k watch as the Gov of South Dakota or as Cowgirl Barbie. Methinks there’s been a payoff here…

Trump's in full retreat today as his poll numbers slip: He convened the cabinet to limit Elon after voters pressured Congress. He delayed the tariffs b/c the market dropped out & created fears of a recession. He's losing in court b/c DOGE didn't follow the law. Keep fighting.

I said the FCPA would be next. Clearly, I need to STFU. Bloomberg: Trump signed an EO today directing DOJ to pause enforcing the 1977 Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, which prohibits American companies and foreign firms from bribing officials of foreign governments to obtain or retain business.

USDA inspector general didn't order 'mass extermination' of birds to drive up cost of poultry, eggs

Although it is standard procedure to kill flocks with the outbreak of bird flu, posts on social media twisted the truth.

The real scam: making you fear the “the other” while the rich rob you blind. I wish every American understood this.

The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FPCA) is one of the most critical pieces of international trade law we have. Of course they want to trash it. Next up, the ITAR and the EAR.

Trump doesn’t care about any of those things. The sooner our elected officials realize that reality the better chance we will have of mounting a serious resistance.

Since details of the smear campaign broke, initially in a big feature in The New York Times, then subsequently in dozens of articles on major news sites, not one outlet has used the word misogyny. www.usermag.co/p/blake-live...

Why won’t the media use the word misogyny?

Misogyny is at the core of these smear campaigns targeting women, yet news coverage consistently avoids naming it.

A little piece of knowledge that touched me years ago when I first heard about it: In Japan, people who arrive early to work park further away from the entrance so that those who arrive later can arrive on time. Our world needs more of this lived compassion. Much, much more.

For those of you who shot me a gimlet eye when I posited that Elon would walk into his first day at DOGE carrying a kitchen sink and fire thiusands of Federal Employees the first day: HE ALMOST SHUT DOWN THE ENTIRE GOVERNMENT… WITH A TWEET.

What I notice about offices with RTO Full Time mandates: Everyone continues to be on Teams, Google Meet and/or Zoom most of the day. These offices are silent. If the goal was improving interpersonal engagement, because…”collaboration,” … it’s a big fail. But the point is really control. Right?

So, here’s my problem - what, exactly, do YOU think you’re going to do to stand up? Hang out on BlueSky and post “stuff”? What does “not obeying” actually look like? Carmen - my questions aren’t pointed at you. I’m pointing at all of us, including myself. I want a plan and leadership.

This is why I keep going back to the media issue. Ds like and trust the MSM (though that's fraying). MSM reporters want to ask skeptical questions and make news. Trump prioritized conservative/entertainment news outlets that wanted to hang out with cool guy Donald Trump and ask friendly questions.

1. In April 2024, California raised the minimum wage for fast food chains to $20/hour The industry claimed it would be devastating & require significant job cuts and prices increases Here is what really happened: workers got a raise, prices went modestly, and the industry continued to add jobs

What would happen to the fast food industry if it had to pay its workers something closer to a living wage?
