Apparently Mitch McConnell is keeping the Save Act stalled in the Senate Rules Committee?
This was Mitch a couple years ago. Imagine how brain dead he is now.
Literally a vegetable.
No way he’s running anything.
Who is?
Term limits.
When I became the Chief Marketing Officer at Levi's, at about 2 months in, I had some mid-level know it all come into my office to tell me everyone hated me, I was steering the ship into oblivion. She told me everyone knew I was doing a terrible job. (The brand had been in decline for over 10 years.)
What I had done in my first two months:
1) Say no one could go on trips anymore unless they had a role at the photo shoot or event. No more boondoggles.
2) No drinking at events or concerts we were hosting. We were there to work, not party.
2) Say Marketing needed to feature actual product in the ads.
3) Say we needed to move away from dark and moody and into the realm of fun - because people have fun in jeans.
Awful, right?!
She wanted me to know, she said, she was trying to help. (She put her feet on my desk while saying this.)
Needless to say, this was not a person who was very good at her job. And I wasn't doing mine to be liked so I didn't care if "everybody hated me". I was trying to turn a business around that had been flailing. I took the responsibility seriously.
Six years later, we had a very successful IPO.
2 years after that I became the brand president.
These people complaining about new leadership are lame. They always do it. They want it how it was, even if how it was wasn't working. And it's even lamer that @Variety writes about this like it's news.
Keep going @bariweiss.
Listen to this interaction between Coach K and Kobe Bryant in the 2008 Olympics
“Those are Lakers shots, not shots that are trying to win a Gold Medal. I can’t let you take them”
“Is that all? I agree. I won’t take them”
Players want accountability
🇺🇸 ICE & FEDERAL AGENTS PATROLLING CHICAGO RIVER
ICE and Border Patrol were spotted patrolling the Chicago River. This is not near a border or a coast. It’s the middle of downtown.
People hanging out nearby weren’t mad. Many actually said they felt relieved to see the feds there.
Some think this shows how bad things have gotten in cities. Others think it's all for show and nothing will change.
Either way, federal boats rolling past tourists is not something you see every day.

@GavinNewsom Gavin Newsom, could you give it a rest? Attacking Trump every chance you get might win you California, by default, but it won't get you much further than that.
Do something original Mr. get ride of homeless encampments in California, but criticize Trump when he does it in DC.
It's official‼️ We have acquired WR John Metchie III and a 2026 6th-round pick from the Texans in exchange for TE Harrison Bryant and a 2026 5th-round pick.
@UpFirst I live and work in the district. I can tell you without looking at the crime stats that the city feels different. People in my building are terrified to go out at night, and I live in a semi-luxurious apartment complex. In fact, it is right next to NPR HQ.
@UpFirst according to Greggory Pemberton, police officers have been ordered by police lieutenants, captains, etc. to reports lesser offenses when they arrive on the scene of an incident involving a violent crime and/or felony to keep crime stats down.
