Very suspicious timing between the false claims being made, leading to a devaluation of the brand, back peddling on those false claims, followed by a quick purchase at the lower price. Smells a lot like collusion and market manipulation.

Tylenol, Kleenex, Band-Aid and more put under one roof in $48.7 billion consumer brands deal

Kimberly-Clark is buying Tylenol maker Kenvue in an approximately $48.7 billion cash-and-stock deal, creating a massive consumer health goods company.

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions

"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

Tuesday, 11/4, is the Statewide Special Election day! Get your ballot to an official ballot box or vote in-person. It is too late to mail ballots by USPS, as they may not be date stamped in time.

Instead of asking the Speaker of the House if he has a view on <critical separation-of-powers QOTD>, maybe reporters should start asking him if he reads any newspapers or otherwise informs himself on those matters to which we might think the Speaker of the House ought to be paying attention?

RAJU: Last week you were very critical of Biden's use of the autopen. But Trump admitted on 60 Minutes to not knowing he pardoned a crypto billionaire who pleaded guilty to money laundering. Does that also concern you?

MIKE JOHNSON: I don't know anything about that. I didn't see it. I'm not sure.

Sweet. Easy congressional inquiry in 2027.

Who is drafting the pardon paperwork? Who is briefing him before he signs them? What ethics checks are being done before these pardons are being drafted?

Is he actually even signing? Are these all auto pen?

TRUMP: Are you ready? I don't know who he is

O'DONNELL: His crypto exchange Binance helped facilitate a $2b purchase of World Liberty Financial's stablecoin. And they you pardoned him.

Trumpism is the greatest test of our Founding document’s resilience. Every action he takes reveals the flaws that must be redressed. Every public and private criminal act must be investigated and brought to justice.

"The polling on blame has been remarkably constant since before the shutdown began. People continue to blame Trump
and Republicans more than Democrats by double-digit margins in most surveys,"

After the 2013 government shutdown ended, Republican leaders made clear they had only been humoring Sen. Ted Cruz and his plot to defund Obamacare.
