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.

i would hope you hear more and more elected officials pointing out that "trump has obviously diminished capacity and the people around him are taking advantage of him" because trump has obviously diminished capacity and the people around him are taking advantage of him

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. 👇

AI Trump is wearing a crown while he dumps shit on protesters. He's such a pathetic little man.

"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.

Today in Kent, Ohio. Yes, THAT Kent.

A psycho Trumper charged into the No Kings rally, throwing punches, assaulted a woman. He was armed. The crowd tackled him.

I considered going to Kent for the protest. It's an hour drive for me. Went to downtown Cleveland instead.

For those not from around here: St. Cloud is just *full* not only of Trumpists, but of virulent, violent racist Trumpists. Everyone at that rally knows they’re in a minority and that they might be in danger. Look how many came anyway.

We can win this.
