its genuinely insane and should be a national scandal that consumer goods and groceries are being subject to a massive, unilateral national sales tax in order to directly enrich elon musk and prop up ideological investors in venezuela. its literally a corruption tax

Middlemen are everywhere. I just got an automated speeding ticket and the fee for electronic payment is $5, collected by a privately owned financial services firm based in a different city, different state. Rents on rents on rents.

Wild! A meteorite may have struck the windshield of a 737 flying over Colorado, according to early reports.

Whatever the object was, it cut a pilot's arm but did not seriously damage the plane. 🧪

So this is what's above the fold in today's NYT, while the protests get two photos below the fold and a piece on A23. I know I shouldn't be surprised at this point, but damn.

All three of these PACs present themselves as civic groups promoting “safe, thriving neighborhoods.”

Public filings, however, show they are largely financed by the same real-estate, landlord, and business associations that dominate local development and our local elections.

In Minneapolis, a network of big $ political committees—All of Mpls, We Love Mpls, and Thrive Mpls—share donors, staff, and messaging.

In July, We Love Mpls was cited by the Campaign Finance Board (CFB) for violating disclosure rules.

Here's why all of them could be in violation of MN laws. 👇

"Who cares?" says the president about a day of peaceful NO KINGS protest in approximately 2,500 cities, towns, villages all over the United States, and in many other parts of the world.

“It’s all the pro-Hamas wing and, you know, the antifa people,” Mike Johnson, the House speaker, said last week on Fox News. “They’re all coming out.”

When asked if the president had a comment on the protests, Abigail Jackson, a White House spokeswoman, gave a brief response. “Who cares?” she said.

The No Kings rally drew around 1k people in deeply red Alexandria, MN (pop 15k). Lots of US flags while, on the street, an older pickup with a large Trump flag trolled past numerous times, illustrating the stark difference: One side loves this nation and her people. The other side loves Trump.
