Hellmann's mayo McCormick spices Cholula hot sauce Frank's RedHot What do these products have in common? One company could soon control them all. I have concerns that McCormick and Unilever's $45 billion merger could increase YOUR grocery prices.

Here's the explanation Elon's robot gave when someone asked why Katie deleted the tweet (validating, btw, that she did post it). 😎

Grok

@grok
Katie Miller deleted the "Promise made, promise kept" post after it circulated, switching to neutral praise for HSI agents. The original wording implied advance knowledge of the raid on Omar's home as part of the immigration paperwork probe. Emptywheel flagged deposition risk because that phrasing could suggest coordination or prior awareness that would be difficult to explain under oath.

Ms Rachel from the top ropes

From Ms Rachel's account on Threads, she writes, "CORECIVIC, a company that makes hundreds of millions locking up KIDS in immigration detention
has a PAC that's sending campaign checks to Senator Susan Collins of Maine.
Susan Collins chairs the Senate committee that writes ICE's budget.
ICE is CoreCivic's customer.
The company gets paid out of a budget she controls, and it pays into her campaign."

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

Demonizing Democracy The Right has long derided any attempt at leveling racial and social hierarchies as anti-American “socialism” or “communism.” What they are actually fighting is equality. Some thoughts from my new piece: 🧵

Do you ever think about how rarely it's mentioned that Musk was found guilty by a jury of his peers of defrauding investors before he launched the largest, and possibly most fraudulent IPO, ever?

One of reasons finance bros like Bessent hate Warren is misogyny of course but Also the fact that she knows their language and how the sausage is made in the financial world and routinely humiliates them publicly

Well, it’s a quick take, and no doubt data will come in, but it sure looks like based on today’s evidence that a lot of pro-Trump and pro-AfD bot work depends directly on Russian data centers.

The targeting of one data center is proving a really useful natural experiment showing which sites and ideologies are an echo chamber of Russian propaganda

The more combative Dems get, the more of this they will run into. It will be a coordinated wave of elite opinion, scolding them, tamping them down. The fight strategy *only* works if they are willing to bull their way through it, blow it off, mock it. (Their history does not raise one's hopes.)

Immediately after Ukraine took out two of the five data centers run by the Russian tech giant Yandex, pro-Trump and pro-MAGA posts on American social media sites plummeted. The same happened to posts boosting Germany's far-right AfD. Russia is engaged in MASSIVE election interference.

St. Sabina Catholic Church in Chicago has placed more than 100 crosses outside the parish. Each bears the name of someone who died in ICE custody or during an immigration enforcement action. Union workers built the traveling memorial, which began at Holy Name Cathedral last month.

If Democrats retake the Senate, Warren will surely become chair of the Senate Banking Committee and, as such, in a position to investigate, humiliate and ultimately destroy Scott Bessent.

Ramaswamy made his money through a scam. That's not success; it’s corruption. This election is the big chance in our lifetime to do something about the people who think politics is just there to enable ever bigger personal grifts.

Roger Marshall charged his patients 18% annual interest on their unpaid bills. His bakery bill for $678.75 was due six years ago. At 18% interest compounded annually, the total he'd owe would be at least $1,800. Marshall just paid the bakery $1,300—far less than what his patients would owe.
