@PubSafetyHero @russellybarra Methinks the concerned citizen thinks he knows more about restaurants and business that the OP. SMH.

So nice of the @HouSymphony to leave me a little note and gift.

[Jeff Bezos @JeffBezos]

I shared this note with the Washington Post team this morning:

I’m writing to let you know about a change coming to our opinion pages.

We are going to be writing every day in support and defense of two pillars: personal liberties and free markets. We’ll cover other topics too of course, but viewpoints opposing those pillars will be left to be published by others.

There was a time when a newspaper, especially one that was a local monopoly, might have seen it as a service to bring to the reader’s doorstep every morning a broad-based opinion section that sought to cover all views. Today, the internet does that job.

I am of America and for America, and proud to be so. Our country did not get here by being typical. And a big part of America’s success has been freedom in the economic realm and everywhere else. Freedom is ethical — it minimizes coercion — and practical — it drives creativity, invention, and prosperity.

I offered David Shipley, whom I greatly admire, the opportunity to lead this new chapter. I suggested to him that if the answer wasn’t “hell yes,” then it had to be “no.” After careful consideration, David decided to step away. This is a significant shift, it won’t be easy, and it will require 100% commitment — I respect his decision. We’ll be searching for a new Opinion Editor to own this new direction.

I’m confident that free markets and personal liberties are right for America. I also believe these viewpoints are underserved in the current market of ideas and news opinion. I’m excited for us together to fill that void.

My favorite breakfast at Omelette & Waffle. I look through the menu and get this every time.

FWIW, @ByronDonalds is not a historic candidate for Speaker. He is a prop. Despite being Black, he supports a policy agenda intent on upholding and perpetuating white supremacy.

His name being in the mix is not progress—it’s pathetic.

Good morning to everyone but NYC, #RepBX fans & the common swine that has filled the timelines of @astros fans everywhere since you-know-what went down five years ago. They’re back in the #WorldSeries . Again. And they swept the @yankees and didn’t even need a roof. #LevelUp 🤘🏼🔥

@seanpalmer Completely illogical. Possibly excitement or nervousness took over and she didn't realize what she was saying?

[Washington Free Beacon @FreeBeacon]

Doocy: "How does raising taxes on corporations lower the cost of gas, the cost of a used car, the cost of food, for everyday Americans?"

Jean-Pierre: "We encourage those who have done very well, especially those who care about climate change, to support a fairer tax code."

@seanpalmer Or FoxNews. Or guns.
