Notice all four habits cost nothing and take seconds. Lighting up was never about the house, the money, or date nights.

It's about what the first ninety seconds of contact say, every single day.

Dealing with the public is a skill in itself‼️ “Unskilled labor” were all considered essential during covid and got passes from local government to go to their jobs. If you hired them pay fair wages. It’s not hard to understand

Ossoff demolishes Hegseth -- then Hegseth has an epic crashout

Sen. Jon Ossoff used Hegseth's premature declarations of victory against him during his Senate testimony, repeatedly reading back statements Hegseth made in March and April about Iran's military being "destroyed" and "obliterated" and asking him if he stands by them.

After Hegseth spent five minutes dodging, Ossoff concluded by noting that "you will not answer whether your statement made on the 14th day of the war that Iran's military was 'destroyed and made combat ineffective' was a truthful statement to the American people as you sit here and ask for tens of billions more."

A reeling Hegseth then crashed out in response to a similar line of questioning from Sen. Gary Peters, snapping at him that "you have Trump derangement syndrome!"

Peters replied to Hegseth that "you, sir, are the failure," as Susan Collins brought the hearing to an abrupt close.

Here's all of Ossoff's questioning followed by Hegseth's tantrum:

🎥 NEW: DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin just admitted it: Real ID doesn't prove citizenship and isn't acceptable voter ID.

Marc Elias explains the 15-word slip that exposes the goal of Trump's voter ID push and why only two documents — which many Americans don't have — actually prove citizenship👇

This is the most anti-free press, anti-journalism, anti-First Amendment, anti-free speech administration of our lifetimes, and almost all of the people who screamed about 'Free Speech!' under Biden are silent right now.

PabloReports: What do you make of the FBI saying it will no longer investigate killings by ICE agents?

Jackson: This echoes something very long and dark in American history, where those doing the lynchings were never brought to justice…

Erin Brockovich: When I put this map out, in the first 72 hours, the map crashed twice, and I woke up on day 3 going, oh my God, it's not one town and one data center, it's the entire country. They had no idea. They woke up to this construction. They weren't informed. City council didn't tell them anything. Because these big tech groups came in and put these city council members under NDAs.

No tax on tips. No tax on overtime. No tax on Social Security. Except: all taxed with narrow carve-outs, and all of it expires end of 2028.⁣

The one part of the tax bill that doesn't expire? Tax cuts for the wealthy. Those are permanent.⁣

🚨 SCAM ALERT: Stop. Think. Verify.

LVMPD has received numerous calls today from concerned citizens who received scam phone calls that sounded and felt very real.

Scammers may claim you:

Failed to appear in court
Missed jury or grand jury duty
Have a warrant for your arrest
Must immediately pay money to avoid arrest

They may leave a convincing voicemail, using actual names of our officers, or keep you on the phone while pressuring and threatening you. Do not fall for it. Law enforcement will never demand immediate payment over the phone to prevent an arrest.

Never provide personal or financial information to someone who calls unexpectedly. Hang up and independently contact LVMPD or your local law enforcement agency to verify the claim.

Walter Cronkite: After liberating execution camps… Germans (who cried) they didn’t know…were as as guilty as Nazis…because they applauded when Hitler shut down (media) and said, ‘We don’t need to know. We trust our government...’

It’s our duty to know.

[Ben Cohen @YoBenCohen]

The Ben & Jerry’s Foundation says it will shut down at the end of the year after its corporate parent cut off funding and evicted its three staffers Wednesday. The move leaves $600,000 a year in grants to Vermont organizations, and 40 years of the ice cream brand’s progressive mission, hanging on a judge’s future ruling.

“This is the other foot dropping in terms of the way Magnum is trying to destroy the social values of Ben & Jerry’s,” said Ben Cohen, co-founder of Ben & Jerry’s Homemade, in an interview Wednesday. #freebenandjerrys

It’s now been over a year since 252 Venezuelans were sent to The Notorious Cecot prison due to tattoos on them so ICE accused them of being Tren De Aragua gang members when they had no affiliation with them or criminal history.They’re now suing the U.S Government for millions.

• March 2025: Taylor Farms contributes $1 million to Make America Great Again Inc., days after the FDA delays the Food Traceability Rule.

• The FDA informs Taylor Farms that one of its iceberg lettuce products tested positive for cyclospora, prompting a voluntary recall.

• During the cyclospora outbreak: The New York Times reports Taylor Farms hires a former Trump White House official.

• Last week: Taylor Farms executives meet with White House and FDA officials, where the company challenges aspects of the government's outbreak conclusions, according to the New York Times.

• Now: Taylor Farms says the FDA apologized, calling the positive test a false positive and stating no Taylor Farms product has tested positive for cyclospora.

#BREAKING: Liz Oyer: “I was shocked to hear Mr Blanche’s testimony about this yesterday. What he said about my firing is provably false. His claim that it had nothing to do with the concerns I raised is contradicted by documents and evidence. His claim that he tried to call me before sending marshals to my home is flat out false. His claim that it is normal for DOJ to use armed law enforcement officers to deliver mail to the homes of its former employees is preposterous. The casual lies that Mr Blanche tells, even while sitting in this chair testifying to this committee, are emblematic of a much larger problem. To the American public, it looks like Mr Blanche is running DOJ as Donald Trump’s personal law firm. Americans across the political spectrum rely on DOJ to keep us safe and free. Mr Blanche has shown that he is willing to put all of that at risk to serve a political agenda. I beg the members of this committee to think about what this is costing our country. Please do not degrade our justice system further by promoting Mr Blanche.” 😳
