I'm getting a Costco membership even though I don't need one. My friend had Stage 4 cancer. Costco kept her employed for 2 years after her diagnosis manageable shifts, just so she'd keep her health benefits, which were excellent. She passed away recently. Costco is now covering a full year of COBRA premiums for her 3 sons.
Costco retained DEI under pressure in 2025 with 98% of shareholders backing them, and offers starting wages at $20/hr. Pulling all Callaway? Just icing on the cake.
Few read all 1,051 trades in Trump's June disclosure. Elizabeth Warren did.
17 pages later, she wants to know who is actually running his accounts—and why 30 of those trades line up with things the Govt was about to announce.
She gave him until Friday.

🚨IMPEACHABLE: A massive report exposes that Trump purchased $100,000,000 in bonds tied to companies DIRECTLY impacted by his policies. That is slam dunk insider trading.
Trump has made more money trading than every person in Congress COMBINED.

Footage from Nepal in the wake of the massive flash flood. The scale of the devastation is hard to fathom, with hundreds feared dead.
There is no time to wait. #ActOnClimate#climate#energy#renewables
This NASA visualization shows the CO2 emitted into the earth's atmosphere + clarifies who is responsible for the climate crisis: we, the Global North.

I raise Angus , today’s comments on beef by the Whitehouse show a complete lack of empathy or understanding on the subject. Warning strong language to follow….How in the fuck does importing beef from a foreign source help American ranchers dumb fuck? Anything being done to increase the amount of non FOREIGN owned meat processors ? How about the gift to vets, the VCPR that screwed over mom and pop family farms. Like we don’t have enough crap to do besides paperwork you clusterfucks. We used to be able to give our own vaccines and order them online, saving a vet farm call and markups. Now we have additional costs, headaches and vets that won’t answer emergency calls. If you want to know why beef is so high look no further than your fucking government,,,,,grrrrrrrrr ….
They're removing them and any other wildlife to free public lands up for exploitation by private interests.
And they just announced "beef" is being imported from an unknown source.....
This is absolutely devastating for Donald Trump. The president of the Cattleman's Association just tore Donald Trump apart.
"You don't put America first by putting US Cattle Producers Last."
Remembering the late, great Dolly, who brought joy, comfort and inspiration to so many - including the millions of children given free books through her Imagination Library. We will always ❤️ you.
The doctor who delivered Dolly Parton in a one-room Tennessee cabin in 1946 was paid with a sack of cornmeal. Her father farmed other people's land and could not read or write. Eighty years later, the reading program she built in his name has mailed more than 300 million books.
She wrote "I Will Always Love You" on the same afternoon she wrote "Jolene," as a goodbye to Porter Wagoner, and released it in 1974. Elvis wanted it. The night before the session, Colonel Tom Parker called and said Presley would only record it if they got half the publishing, meaning half of everything the song ever earned. She had been in Nashville ten years by then. She said no, and cried all night. Whitney Houston cut her version in 1992, held number one for fourteen weeks, and Forbes later put Parton's royalties from it near $10 million. She put some of that money into an office complex in Nashville and called the place the house that Whitney built.
Dollywood opened in Pigeon Forge in 1986 because she wanted paychecks in the county she came from. Around 4,000 people work there now. Three million visitors come every year. The University of Tennessee put its economic impact at $1.8 billion, and it is the largest employer in Sevier County. Since 2022 the company has paid tuition, fees, and books in full for every worker from their first day, seasonal hires included.
Wildfires tore through those mountains in November 2016, killing fourteen people and destroying more than 2,400 buildings. Her foundation was handing out money within 48 hours. Every family that lost a home got $1,000 a month for six months, regardless of income. The final check was $5,000. Total delivered: $8.9 million.
In April 2020 she sent $1 million to Vanderbilt for coronavirus research. When Moderna's vaccine results ran in the New England Journal of Medicine that November, her fund appeared in the footnotes.
Carl Dean, her husband of nearly sixty years, died in March 2025. The note she wrote to fans afterward ended with the same five words she wrote for Porter Wagoner back in 1974. She died in Nashville today. Her family asked that instead of flowers, people give to the Imagination Library, which still mails 3.4 million books a month to children who will never get to meet her.
