I love when a big, super-hyped book sells 1,200 copies. Every indie title I've ever been involved with has sold more than that.
“American Canto,” one of the most hyped political books of the year, flopped in bookstores.

Disney has hiked prices and laid off hundreds of workers this year.
Yet Disney paid its CEO $41B in 2024. It just reported a 36% increase in net profits for parks and streaming. And it plans to double stock buybacks next year.
Remember this as Disney turns to AI.

DOOCY: Is the campaign against Venezuela still just about drugs, or it also now about oil?
TRUMP: Well, it's about a lot of things. But one of things it's about is the fact they've allowed millions of people to come into our country from their prisons

NEW: President Donald Trump says he is granting a pardon to Tina Peters, who was convicted on state charges related to tampering with Colorado's election systems. Legal experts say presidential pardons do not apply to state charges.

Trump sent Vance there twice. He threatened to cut off all federal spending to the state. He vowed to back primary challengers of any Republican who voted against him here. He posted their names online, prompting his fans to send them death threats.
But all that failed, so now he wasn't involved.
