THIS is exactly what @ABC and others should have done to Trump instead of caving and giving in and paying him off with millions of dollars.

@LizMacDonaldFOX I have been unequivocal that the Ayatollah committed terrorism and was brutally violent. But this resolution said that the Iranian threat was imminent to the US. That is not true and a predicate for getting into a regime change, endless war. That is why I voted no.

An explosive investigation by @TB_Times into DeSantis' theft of public funds last year revealed he stole tens of millions of dollars from child protection programs and Medicaid.

The money he stole went to marketing and advertising against two ballot amendments he didn't like - both of which received more than 50% of support by voters

James Talarico: “The biggest welfare queens in this country are the giant corporations that don’t pay a penny in federal taxes. The biggest welfare queens are the CEOs who get a tax deduction for flying on a private jet. It’s not hungry kids. It’s not working parents who work multiple jobs”

“I’ll release my tax returns” — didn’t

“I’ll release the Epstein files” — didn’t

“I’ll release my MRI” — didn’t

“I’ll release the boat bombing videos” — hasn’t

Is it just me or is there a pattern of promises made, promises broken?

Mayes: I sent a letter to Pam Bondi and I said, please send me an additional 50 DEA agents because these are the folks that help me fight the Mexican drug cartels… not only did she not send me 50 additional DEA agents, she actually took 60 DEA agents out of Arizona

The Doorman Fallacy
'You have a five-star hotel and it has a doorman, welcoming incoming guests.

McKinsey or Accenture will come in and say, “Your doorman currently costs you X thousand dollars a year. We have defined his or her function as opening the door. We’ll replace said doorman with an automatic door-opening mechanism and an infrared human detector and we’ll save you $30–$40,000 a year.”

They walk away, and they take the credit for the cost savings. Two years later, the hotel’s a catastrophe ... because the doorman was doing multiple things, many of which were human and kind of tacit.

Security would be one; there are no vagrants asleep in the doorway. Hailing taxis, dealing with luggage, recognizing regular guests, providing status to the hotel—there are loads and loads of value creation components to that doorman which aren’t captured in the open-the-door definition."

It's easy to see the visible things, but the invisible things make the difference.

What a scam this is..

Michael Dell gets to write off 74% of his $6.25B "donation" right away because it's a fed gov program for public purposes

It shrinks his estate, avoiding 40% tax on his heirs while maintaining family control

The investment accounts are funneled into $DELL

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

There is no question about it: Alito, Thomas, Roberts, and the three Trump Supreme Court appointees are all GOP partisan hacks.

Pass term limits. Expand the court. Enact an enforceable code of ethics.

We must keep pushing Democrats to enact court reform.

BREAKING: Jessica Tarlov’s dismantling of Trump’s economic lies left Fox in stunned silence. She walked through every collapsing indicator and tied it directly to him.

Devastating.

College Sports is the WILD WEST right now. Just hours after the University of Utah announces they’re selling some of their soul to private equity, we get news that UNLV is signing a 5-Year, $11 Million dollar deal to put logos on their jerseys. And this is just the tip of the

Notre Dame painted itself into a corner. The Irish thought it had the Big 12 waiting in the wings to take ND in all sports minus football, were Notre Dame to leave the ACC. The reality is, no one wants to deal with Notre Dame's pompousness and entitlement. https://t.co/OV1PeNDKrn

Veteran detained by ICE: I identified myself as a US citizen and a veteran, but that didn't matter. Agents smashed my window, sprayed tear gas and pepper spray into my car, dragged me out. Even after I complied, I was taken to a detention center and held for 3 days without charges. No phone call, no lawyer, no medical care, even though my skin burned from the chemicals.
