Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.
This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.
And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?

I’m pretty sure this repeated dragging of a specific immigrant population will have no negative consequences whatsoever, right?
Leavitt: "I'll tell you what doesn't add to our nation's character is refugees who come here under the alleged plight of asylum and then come to the US to abuse our system ... Somali immigrants in Minnesota have been ripping off American taxpayers"

Finished up the first four of the new STRANGER THINGS last night, on the same night when an hour and a half detour down country roads gave me the delicious realization that you could set the story right next door to me. I love living near the middle of nowhere.

I’d still be a writer. Just more secure, able to take more chances rather than make safer choices.
Not that I didn’t take a lot of chances anyway. But being able to study more, to learn alongside the practice of writing, would be good too.

To put a finer point on this whole thing: "Two people with direct knowledge of the operation" — presumably uniformed military leaders — are accusing the U.S. Secretary of Defense of personally ordering specific war crimes. That's a historic accusation.

Every single congressional Democrat needs to be out there, right now, insisting that Pete Hegseth resign right now and announcing that he will be held accountable for committing war crimes.
If you do not demand accountability here and now, they will only become more emboldened.

Exclusive: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave an order to “kill everybody” in the first strike on suspected drug boats in the Caribbean. After two men survived, the mission commander ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions, according to two sources.

You're a high ranking government official and you shouldn't make things up.
Your 70% number is just a fabrication.
And it's TOTALLY not true that "every single" person you detained is here illegally. For instance, many were allowed in so they could apply for asylum.

Also, and I feel this is important, the Navy provides detailed documentation on medal precedence which demonstrates that Kelly is correct and Hegseth is wrong/drunk.
obviously this is a dumb story and hegseth is trash but this is not a mirror picture and people should stop saying it is. first of all the medals are on the correct side of the uniform and second of all if you zoom in you can read the writing on some of them, including the number 2 and “nasa”

Pretty convincing evidence here that the Trump administration was planning to jailbreak and provide asylum for Bolsonaro -- and that Trump inadvertently revealed the plan.
And this, as the now-cliche goes, would have been a paralyzing scandal for any other administration.
