Costco runs it's own rigorous food inspection program. And they didn't bend the knee on DEI. Plus, they dropped Callaway Golf after their horrific ad depicting violence against women. And they are refusing to carry trump meat. So that's where I'll be shopping.

It is as strong a principle as exists in constitutional law that the government may not single out people or groups for worse treatment based on their viewpoints. It’s virtually never ok. U.S. Investigated Left-Leaning Groups During Minnesota Immigration Crackdown www.nytimes.com/2026/08/13/u...

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com Sunday’s UFC fight at the White House “is not just a garish spectacle,” Jamelle Bouie writes; “it is an expression of the president’s contempt for the ritual and symbolism of American democracy — which is just another way to say, his contempt for democracy itself.”

Let me get this straight. The DOJ is indicting someone who allegedly broke through security with intent to kill leaders including the VP & Speaker of the House. Has EVERYONE forgotten that Trump pardoned convicted felons who stormed broke into the Capitol with intent to kill the VP & Speaker? 1/

An immigration judge has ordered the removal of Liam Consejo Ramos, a Minnesota toddler who was detained by ICE. The politics of citizenship might seem like the detail that distinguishes Liam’s story from the stories of our kids. But his innocence, like the innocence of all kids, is unimpeachable.

Julie K. Brown is a reporter for the Miami Herald who did groundbreaking work on Epstein beginning in 2018, including groundbreaking work on the disgusting coverup by Alex Acosta. Her travel itinerary was released with some of the Epstein files. It appears the DOJ was monitoring her in 2019.
Post from Julie K Brown that says Does somebody at the DOJ want to tell me why my American Airlines booking
information and flights in July 2019 are part of the Epstein files (attached to a grand jury subpoena)? As the flight itinerary includes my maiden name (and I did book this flight) why was the DOJ monitoring me?

FYI, it’s not enough for the source to first say, “Off the record.” It’s not OTR unless the reporter agrees to it. I’ve known reporters who advise changing the subject to fool the source. Not for me.
