BAIER: What about the president's pledge to give every American adult citizen a $5,000 dividend if Republicans maintain control of Congress -- where are you on that?

PAXTON: I clapped. This is way to help people with higher gas prices.

BAIER: But on your site it says you're a strong fiscal conservative

NEW: Hillary Clinton raises the possibility that Netanyahu knowingly ignored a warning about Hamas’s October 7 plans because the attack could strengthen him politically.

“It’s horrible to say,” Clinton said, but perhaps “he wanted to see what they could plan so that he could come down hard.”

Netanyahu denies receiving the reported UAE warning and has threatened to sue Haaretz.

What is happening to our country? The @FCC is a threat to free speech in America. Its chairman @BrendanCarrFCC has become an authoritarian Minister or Information. #baghdadbrendan

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

25 years after the horrific terror attacks of September 11th, 2001, we remember the New Yorkers we lost and honor the extraordinary heroism and selflessness that carried our city forward.

First responders ran toward danger. Volunteers came from across the city to help. Neighbors opened their doors to strangers, churches became lifelines and ordinary New Yorkers found ways to take care of each other.

There are countless stories like this.

Discover some of them on @LinkNYC kiosks across the city and at https://t.co/se4il0nReC.

The Two Press Corps

American reporter: Mr. President, Iran says it now controls the Strait of Hormuz. Your response?

Trump: Which news agency are you with?

Reporter: Reuters, sir.

Trump: Fake news.

Reporter: Thank you, Mr. President.

The reporter sits down. The next hand goes up with a question about the White House ballroom.

Later the same afternoon.
European reporter: Mr. President, Iran says it controls the Strait of Hormuz. Tanker traffic is down forty percent. What is your plan?

Trump: Which agency are you with?

Reporter: Deutsche Presse-Agentur. And the question stands.

Trump: Fake news. Total fake news.

Reporter: The shipping data comes from your own Department of Energy, sir. Are they fake news too?

Trump: Next question.

Reporter: That was the next question.

Two reporters, same question, same non-answer. The difference is what happened next. One said thank you and sat down. The other stayed standing and asked again. Access is not journalism. Follow-up questions are.

Kenya always seems to be at the front of the line when it comes to co-ordinated disinformation campaigns. While it is not surprising, the country should take this as a warning about how much more polluted the information ecosystem is going to become as we get closer to the election

Hasbro claps back at ICE and the DHS ripping off Optimus Prime:

Costco's store brand did about $86 billion last year. That's more than Coca-Cola, more than Nike, and roughly tied with Procter & Gamble, and it comes from about 550 products with zero advertising. Kirkland is close to a third of everything Costco sells now, and it's nearly tripled since 2017 while the rest of the company doubled.

The part people miss is Costco mostly doesn't own factories. Almost every Kirkland item is made by somebody else under contract, and the deal is the product has to be as good as the brand next to it and at least 20 percent cheaper or it doesn't get made. The manufacturers agree because a Costco order is bigger than most of their other customers combined. A lot of them are the name brands themselves. Sometimes it says so on the package and sometimes it doesn't.

@EthanJPerez ...was entire staff of Anthropic briefed on this post and were given direction how to "support" Jacob?

were you communicated a message you needed to post online publicly?

[𝗠𝗶𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗲𝗹 𝗞𝗼𝘃𝗲 @michael_kove]

@PernillaIce @EthanJPerez ...and 22 politicians that picked it up within hours of him posting. That also feels strange.

Morning Joe aired the part of the interview that Fox isn’t showing. Talarico’s master class comeback when asked about gender:

REPORTER: During a 2021 hearing, you said ‘there are 6 biological sexes.’ Do you still believe that?

TALARICO: I obviously didn’t say it correctly. There are not six sexes… I think the reason that politicians in that convention center across the street want to talk about 6 sexes is because they don’t want to talk about $6 diesel.

That’s how you handle a gotcha question. 🔥

@MorePerfectUS Notice the cop thinks it's his place to shoosh the citizenry. He's their discipliner, not their servant.

Every tyrant regime in history has been enforced by goons with this mentality, "public servants."

@GBC_Press So kids got vaccinations for decades which prevented many diseases from running rampant....that makes this idiot think there's no problem anymore. But, in the near future we will see epidemics galore when none of the younger population is vaccinated. MAGAt stupidity reigns...

This is what happens when you’re so accustomed to the benefits of modernity - sanitation, clean food & water, low infant mortality - that you forget where it all came from, how much effort it took to build, & how bad things were before. This is the literal definition of decadence

Over and over, 3M scientist Kris Hansen found PFOS, a chemical 3M made, in people’s blood. Her bosses doubted her work: How could it be everywhere?

Finally, she found a batch of blood samples without PFOS — but with it came a devastating revelation: https://t.co/oSIxuzgKWM

Climate change

[The Food Manufacturing Guy @TipOfTheBanana]

The soy sauce packet in your takeout bag isn't soy sauce. The biggest maker, Kari-Out in New Jersey, lists water, salt, hydrolyzed soy and corn protein, caramel color and sodium benzoate. No fermentation, no brewing. It's made in a couple of days by boiling defatted soy meal in hydrochloric acid, neutralizing it, then adding color and corn syrup so it looks and tastes close enough.

A lot of the bottles on the grocery shelf are the same thing. Kikkoman and the Japanese government went to the UN food standards body years ago and asked that the chemical version not be allowed to use the name soy sauce. The hydrolyzed protein industry and the USDA pushed back and it stayed. The brewed ones say naturally brewed on the label. If the bottle doesn't say it, it isn't.
