Tariffs have rapidly increased the price of coffee—a drink with almost no nutritional value and lots of functional substitutes. Yet coffee may also be the one thing Americans can’t live without, @elcush.bsky.social writes:

The Drink That Americans Won’t Give Up Without a Fight

Coffee has almost no nutritional value and lots of substitutes. It’s also, apparently, too important to lose.

Remember that Paramount didn’t have the money to keep The Tonight Show but suddenly found it to purchase The Free Press and Bari Weiss.

The propaganda effort at CBS News has begun in full force.

There's this absurd hit piece saying his election would cause a large exodus at the NYPD.

A paused CBS News video features a close-up of a bearded man in a suit speaking outdoors. Video controls are visible over the image. The headline below reads about NYPD officers worrying about someone becoming the NYC mayor. The CBS News channel name and subscriber button appear at the bottom.

I’m glad that the ceasefire is taking place AND is being respected, but come on. Giving it to Trump?

Get help.

So Biden got a ceasefire in December, then Trump came and upped the weapons transit and allowed weapons that had been banned by Biden, 10 months of the same horrors you denounced plus Trump saying he wanted to make a resort in Gaza (and other grotesque statements), but sure…give it to Trump.

Genuinely don’t think our political discourse is capable of talking about how Donald Trump—*Donald Trump*—just halted an ongoing genocide.

I have strong doubts that the 'ceasefire' will hold and lead to an actual peace deal, but it seems like, maybe, somehow, Trump kinda learned a lesson here...?
