SCOOP from @By_CJewett & me:

Markwayne Mullin urged @HHSGov to remove warnings from the @US_FDA website about the health risks of the gas station drug kratom.

Mullin owns equity in a leading kratom company called Botanic Tonics that could have benefited. https://t.co/rzkImei3VI

Every four years, like the swallows returning to San Juan Capistrano, people across Los Angeles County are opening their ballots or stepping into a voting booth and realizing that they can’t vote for mayor because they don’t actually live in the city of L.A.

After a weird experience with Norse Atlantic Airways a few weeks ago, I decided to file a FOIA request to the FTC

Ends up, dozens have complained about Norse. It has no phone #, and its customer service relies on AI

It’s a perfect situation for scammers:

George Washington declined to be featured on currency when he was living, fearing it would be reminiscent of a monarch.

Congress in 1866 passed the Thayer amendment, which stated "no portrait or likeness of any living person shall be engraved or placed upon any of the bonds, securities, notes, or postal currency of the United States."

[Juliette Kayyem @juliettekayyem]

Either he is silenced by the White House today or this is happening.

My hypothesis: US university education was a massively successful export industry (foreign students paying tuition + housing + living expenses is literally classified as exports) and Trump admin collapsed this demand.

This is another example of the celebritification of government actors, and it's bad. The Transportation Secretary should not be a reality TV star getting money from companies he's supposed to regulate. He should be a boring government bureaucrat whose name I almost never hear.

[Tommy Vietor @TVietor08]

Sean Duffy's tenure as Transportation Secretary started with a bunch of terrible airline crashes and then he just disappeared for seven months on a road trip / reality show?? WTF is happening here?

[Lucythegreat @lucythegreat123]

Dear airlines far and wide, as long as you charge for checked bags while carryons fly free, people will continue to bring everything they own and the kitchen sink on board. We then are all treated to twenty minutes of watching the gate lice swarm the boarding area while a poor harassed underpaid employee begs the crowd to gate check for free. It is an epic failure of basic incentive structures and we are all embarrassed for having been here for this.

The self restraint required not to yolo book a trip to Tokyo when direct flights are this cheap >>>>>

The mainstream marketing/advertising trades will probably not report on this, but this is such an amazing call/response.

Heineken has people who get it and can sell it internally (or have proper processes) to turn this around quickly and ship. Incredible speed for a giant org.

h/t @Trace_Cohen for the Heineken photo.

Saw a quote from myself on a random standalone AI product's website. Didn't remember saying that. Clicked on the quote to find the source................ 😭
