Despite concerns, California’s fast food industry maintained stable employment, though consumers are experiencing modest price increases, new research shows.

That…wasn’t luck

But Trump lucked out. The “Access Hollywood” scandal flamed bright and fast and died out just as quickly. About a half-hour after the tape was published, WikiLeaks conveniently began posting emails Russian hackers had stolen from the account of Hillary Clinton’s campaign chair.

Exactly. The elite press thinks people don't care about Trump's behavior and actions when in fact, it's the journalists and editors who don't care because it helps them maintain access.

Resharing this @whstancil.bsky.social post from Twitter bc it's exactly right. We treat it as normal because the people whose job it is to warn of us things have decided it's normal

Trump is a traitor to the Constitution who has instigated deadly violence against the US government in a seditious bid to stay in power. The reason it doesn’t matter in politics is that agenda-setting elites largely refuse to treat it as something that should matter. That’s it

If it is the opinion of the press and political elites that the president trying to kill other members of the government and stay in power is a matter of minor importance, it will be treated by voters as a matter of minor importance.

The district is drawing scrutiny and outrage for installing surveillance windows in gender-inclusive bathrooms.

This is a vital point, as there are significant numbers of legal immigrants who voice support for actions against undocumented immigrants. They need to realize they’re just as likely to be targeted by a second Trump White House. They’re coming for everyone.

extreme inequality is very bad for a democracy, but combined with basically no limits on political spending it is just untenable www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Elon Musk Gave Tens of Millions to Republican Causes Far Earlier Than Previously Known
The donations were to groups with ties to former Trump aide Stephen Miller and to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’s presidential bid
