Friday is my last day at The Sheridan Press. I’ll be spending a few months crossing off a bucket list item, working as a wrangler at a dude ranch! After that, my plans are TBD, but I’m so grateful for the experience I gained at the Press and excited for this next chapter!🤠🏔️

Nothing more fun than tracking down Trump's latest grift. For his sneakers, he's getting a fee paid to CIC Ventures, which he owns, by 45Footwear LLC, which is purportedly the shoe manufacturer. That is based in Sheridan Wyoming, in this rundown house in a grimy shopping mall.
