I'm conducting a PhD research study on KSA's nation-branding efforts, the ownership of Newcastle United Football Club, and its supporters. It's a short 45-minute interview, very casual, and all data is anonymous.

Please spread the word.

Thank you.

Bessent is such a simpleton monster, politicizing food and shelter, framing it as America v America, or as Trump sees it, Comrade v Comrade.
Bessent: "You know the best way to bring your inflation rate down? Move from a blue state to a red state. Blue state inflation is half a percent higher."

As I don’t think you can bet on this, I’ll share my predictions for tomorrow’s votes. Anchoring will be first & will be comfortably rejected. That will bring back enough rebels to get squad cost through. Just. SSR, the sustainability provision, will pass.

Paramount, which already owns Champions League rights through CBS in US, has won the contract to broadcast it in England from 2027-31, taking it away from TNT. Will be streamed on Paramount+. Chance that they can merge US/UK output. Amazon likely keeps first pick Tuesday.

When you're a good man, they let you do anything. You can just reach right out and protect them.
Nancy Mace: "You can see in the Epstein emails that he's clearly targeting President Trump as retribution for him being a good man ... he's a good man who protects women. That's what real men do."

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen.

Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

@variety going with a story on “Hegseth’s rival” as the Trump admin sinks itself deeper and deeper into Epstein.

I guess the media protects its own or whatever…

If you want to know why Brian Daboll is merely a symptom of the issues that have rendered the Giants irrelevant for 15 seasons:

Joe Schoen let Julian Love, Xavier McKinney, and Saquon Barkley walk out of the building.

And, Joe Schoen will lead the search for the Giants’ 5th head coach in 8 years.

Starving people is a weapon of control. So, too, is controlling and attacking the media, attacking science and higher ed, and using the military against citizens and innocent people. All weapons of control.

The fact that the BBC has made serious culpable errors does not negate the point that there is a real and concerted right-wing media campaign to destroy it. Both points can be true at the same time and the campaign would not end even if the errors did.

Please go away, it’s time for true modern day Democrats to run the party.
Democrats have been fighting for months to address America's healthcare crisis

For the millions who will lose coverage
For people with cancer who won't get the care they need
For working families who can't afford to pay $25K more a year for healthcare

We will keep fighting

Imagine the Fox coverage if Obama was this evil.
FLAG: The Trump admin has told states to "immediately undo" any actions to provide full food stamp benefits to low-income families for the month of November — threatening financial penalties if they do not comply.
