This is a remarkable photograph-not a woman in sight. China & US -not a single woman in the room.

people might actually be waiting for their grocery and gas bills to go down ...

[The White House @WhiteHouse]

The arrival everyone has waited for. 🇺🇸🇨🇳

[Doug Landry @douglandry]

FAR be it from me to suggest that this white house has lost their fingers on the pulse of Americans moods right now

but who on earth is this video for?

☀️ Today in Utqiagvik (the northernmost city in the United States), the sun rose above the horizon at 2:57 AM and won’t set again for 84 straight days or until August 2nd! Here's a look at a timelapse showing the sunset and sunrise this morning. #akwx

Well-deserved -- outstanding coverage ... all of it.

We won the Pulitzer Prize for Local Reporting @chicagotribune! Our entire newsroom covered Midway Blitz with everything we had. I’ve never been prouder of the Tribune or its commitment to the truth. It’s an honor to be part of this team.

NEW: Pope Leo XIV appoints the youngest bishop in the United States.

Robert Boxie III, 46, is a new auxiliary bishop of Washington.

Boxie has been outspoken against the White House’s attacks against racial diversity.

“It’s really frustrating — especially this moment that we’re living in. The attacks on ‘DEI’ — I don’t even know what that means anymore. It’s a term that’s been hijacked. It means a lot of things to a lot of different people.”

“I think at its core, it’s what America is all about. We are a diverse nation with people from all over the world. Diversity is a good thing. Diversity is of God.”

“And the fact that it’s been turned into something negative — or something that should be avoided or not talked about — just flies in the face of who we are as Americans.”

“So much of our history has been exclusive, especially when it comes to race. And it’s just un-American; it’s un-Christian; it’s anti-Catholic.”

We don't know for sure if today is the last day for Spirit Airlines, but If it feels like it's been a long time since the U.S. lost an airline this way, it's because it has. The last major airline failure in this country was Independence Air in January 2006.

I highly recommend the @chicagotribune 's Route 66 series > https://t.co/VHxv5wnyLX

This show belongs back in Chicago. Vegas? Cmon…

[Zach Greenberg @ZachCPG]

multiple big banner buyers are setting meetings with brands at Sweets & Snacks.

feels very similar to pre pandemic activity.

vegas is driving real attendance.

this show is the opposite of Expo West as you actually set meetings and get shit done.

If you are an early brand trying to get in front of buyers, this is one of the highest ROI shows right now.

for larger brands, it’s one of the few places you can hit every channel in a single trip: c-store, grocery, natural, mass, club, drug.

[E.J. Schultz @ejschultz3]

That’s a pretty low bar.

[Brian Stelter @brianstelter]

Trump very easily could have blamed the media last night, but instead, he basically said "we're all in this together."

April 23, 1985: New Coke was introduced. #80s 78 days later Coca Cola Classic was brought back.

Happy 420 Day.

As always, we celebrate the 53rd anniversary of when Gail & Dale sang "One Toke Over the Line,” on Lawrence Welk.

Neither knew what the song was about. Welk thought the song was a “modern spiritual.”

[Things From the Past @pastarchive]

This is where “uppercase” and “lowercase” came from. In the early days of printing, capital letters were kept in the upper compartments of the type case, while the smaller letters were placed below for easier access.

NEW: Pope Leo XIV’s close ally Cardinal Robert McElroy received a standing ovation at the end of his homily, where he called on Catholics to take up civic action to help end the “immoral” war against Iran.

“When we leave this church tonight, we must move beyond prayer. As citizens and believers in this democracy that we cherish so deeply, we must advocate for peace with our representatives and leaders.

“It is not enough to say we have prayed. We must also act. For it is very possible that the negotiations will fail because of recalcitrance on both sides, and the president will move to re-enter this immoral war.

“At that critical juncture, as disciples of Jesus Christ called to be peacemakers in the world, we must answer vocally and in unison:

“No. Not in our name. Not at this moment. Not with our country.”
