I heard an ad on terrestrial radio for TikTok. They were advertising a promo where new accounts get free cash to use in their store. Interesting marketing. They’re right in assuming people who listen to AM radio are the most likely to not have an account already.

Trump says we need to go after drug cartels.
Meanwhile, he disbanded a DOJ task force that took them on.
And he pardoned a former Honduran president convicted of drug trafficking.
Trump doesn't care about drugs — he wants to be able to declare war on anyone he labels an enemy.
It's a power grab.

It’s messed-up that restaurant franchisees can opt out of promos created by the corporate office. Isn’t the whole point of a franchise system to create a standard level of product and service for that brand?

Today's abysmal jobs report is a reminder that tax cuts for corporations and the rich don’t create jobs or grow the economy.
What's required is investment in working people — and better wages.
When workers have money to spend, the economy grows and businesses create more jobs.
Remember this.

In covering Trump you should replace ‘retribution’ with ‘resentment’ to educate your readers on the severe dysfunction at play. We are dealing with character defects, not a fully-formed adult. He is both active & untreated. I heard his sniffing yesterday attacking Rob Reiner.

1. For at least 10 years, Pepsi has conspired with Walmart to force up grocery prices. That’s the shocking evidence made public today in an unsealed FTC lawsuit. The suit was abandoned in May by the Trump FTC just before it was to be un-redacted. We went to court to get it unsealed & won.

Terribleness is all he has. And unfortunately, there’s a market for it.
Absolutely vile.
We've had presidents before who were terrible people, but never one who was so shamelessly, publicly terrible. This behavior should not be excused, much less celebrated.

What is Trump focused on right now? Starting another forever war in Venezuela.
We need congressional oversight.

I'm going to ask my doctor about this at my next physical. There are so many idiots out there now who aren't vaccinating themselves or their kids that I want to make sure my immunity levels are still good.
In all seriousness as part of getting my green card I needed to do a blood test to check antibody levels for things like measles, mumps, and rubella. I had a childhood vaccination and still was too low in antibodies and required the MMR in order to get my green card. Im grateful I did.

Watching an 80s episode of Classic Concentration. A prize was Filet Mignon for a Year. It's interesting how filet mignon was considered so fancy back in the 80s & 90s, and now you don't hear much about it anymore.

Holy cow. Windows 11 “update and shutdown” actually worked right. The first time in many many months. Usually it updates and restarts, even though you selected shutdown.

Soooo…I actually support Marco Rubio’s edict to change back to Times New Roman. I *hate* Calibri. Times New Roman looks good and is easy to read. I hate sans serif fonts. You can’t tell the difference between a capital I and a lower-case l. Worthless.

A lot of Cook County property owners are upset with massive increases in their assessments and tax bills. Remember, the assessor position is elected. You can vote the guy out. He should be working with other elected officials on a solution so people’s tax bills aren’t doubling.
