I've said it before, but once upon a time Bezos was known as a no-nonsense, bottom line businessman. Prior to 2024, his only instruction to the paper's management was "Make a profit."

Perhaps he now sees the Post as a loss-leader? Its losses create more gains elsewhere?

Lmao WaPo has fewer than 100K circulation now. It turns out “alienate your liberal subscriber base” is not a good strategy when the Republicans also hate you. www.forbes.com/sites/andyme...

Democrats should make a criminal referral to DOJ and start describing what Trump is doing as criminal.

Trump's mechanism to pay the troops during the shutdown is by far the most illegal budgetary action he's taken as POTUS, potentially setting the stage to break everything.

It's also needless because Congress would easily pass a troop pay bill if Johnson were willing to gavel in.

Long thread.

(AP) — Dozens of reporters turned in access badges and exited the Pentagon on Wednesday rather than agree to government-imposed restrictions on their work, pushing journalists who cover the American military further from the seat of its power.

ICE is out of control here in Chicago:

“Maria Greeley, 44, had just finished working a double shift at the Beach Bar on Ohio Street …when she said she was surrounded by three federal agents who grabbed her, forced her hands behind her back and zip tied her.”

www.chicagotribune.com/2025/10/13/i...

Greeley, who was born at Illinois Masonic hospital and is adopted, carries a copy of her passport just in case she runs into federal agents.
"lam Latina and l am a service worker," Greeley said. "I fit the description of what they're looking for now."
During the encounter, Greeley said they told her she "doesn't look like" a Greeley.

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.
