again we do not really do a good job of explaining how wealthy people like Jeff Bezos are
his net worth is $253.2 billion.
so he could take one million dollars, and just light it on fire
and then do it again tomorrow
and again the day after that
and then do it every day for 693 years and 8 months

The silence of the @uswnt.ussoccer.com as their country is in turmoil has been so noticeable. I hope these players rise to the occasion and meet the moment.

Beyond helping establish DHS itself in 2003, Mr. Mitnick was a senate-confirmed Trump choice for General Counsel for DHS in his first term. I've talked with him a few times, and he's not a man for hyperbole. So bear that in mind when you see him calling out DHS's "lawlessness, fascism, and cruelty."

It seems like a joke... until it isn't. RyanAir's market cap is around $35B, less than what Musk paid for Twitter in 2022, when he had roughly a third of the net worth he has now ($766B). When your net worth nears a trillion dollars, everything is purchasable, just as Twitter and the election were.

Trump says a lot of deranged shit, but, per this Reuters article — and the threats of invoking the Insurrection Act in Minnesota this morning — he is very clearly exploring how to cancel the midterms.

Jeff Bezos is no stranger to issues of press freedom. He got a lot of goodwill when helping WaPo's Jason Rezaian get out of Iran. He stood with Khashoggi's wife after the Saudi gov murdered him.
Which makes his silence on one of WaPo's reporters getting raided on home soil all the more salient.

“Your obsession with and constant annual threats to move Dreamforce to Las Vegas is ironic, since it is a fact that Las Vegas has a higher rate of violent crime than San Francisco. San Francisco does not need a federal invasion because you don’t like paying for extra security for Dreamforce”

Over the last five years, nearly $90 million has gone to state committees that review maternal deaths and identify their causes. Advocates say cuts to the program would be “devastating.”

very interesting thing just happened: EWR had a complete ground stop due to “thunderstorms” despite no storms in a 200 mile radius. The only flight to leave from EWR in that window? Air Force One.
sure looks like Donald Trump just shut down EWR for 4 hours so he could watch a soccer game!
