NBC News poll Voters hold negative views of Al. In fact, the only topics less popular in the survey were the Democratic Party and Iran.

Truly a perfect news alert

i think what we may be learning in all this is that the brand was not successful—or at least, not nearly as successful as the weavers represented

Uncle Nearest’s cofounder may have cornered herself in court. The sloppy saga of the boutique Tennessee whiskey brand’s federal receivership took a few more twists and turns last week, and buddy, ain’t none of ‘em looked good for Fawn Weaver, #ThePeoplesCEO (self-avowed.) On Wednesday, court-appointed receiver Phillip Young asked the court for permission accept a $2.59-million offer for the firm’s Martha’s Vineyard hype house, which Fawn and husband Keith Weaver had bought with lender Farm Credit Mid-America’s via an unsanctioned LLC. Then on Thursday evening, Young filed a brief revealing that Fawn had freely copped to moving $20 million in loaned money from UN’s account into that of a supposedly unrelated company she controled so it “could not be snatched by” the receivership. He argues that this proves the Weavers were improperly commingling assets; Fawn countered with a 141-page brief of her own claiming (in so, so many words) that the cofounders did nothing wrong and the person actually damaging UN is Young himself. What's $20 million between whiskey frenemies? Judge Charles A. Atchley will answer that question and more when he rules whether to either terminate the receivership or expand it. Stay tuned!

KY bank: Jay-Z secretly loaned money to Uncle Nearest, which fraudulently hid it A Kentucky lender and a distillery founder are trading allegations of fraud in a receivership fight over a financially troubled whiskey and bourbon distillery.

UPDATE: The $20 million that Uncle Nearest's embattled cofounder Fawn Weaver openly admitted in court to trying to hide from the distillery's federal receiver came from Jay-Z's investment firm.

the rw project to inoculate american "professionals" against the labor mvmt & class consciousness has been wildly successful, and this sort of career cannibalism is the endpoint. the only way to defeat this is rapid and aggressive union organizing. unions mostly are not doing what's necessary.

‘Flying Cars’ Will Take Off in American Skies This Summer The federal government announced a new pilot program designed to get new kinds of ultralight vehicles and “eVTOLs” up and running around the country—even if they’re not fully FAA-certified.

perfect timing, this country's commercial air transit system has never been more safe and secure, i say go for it

Amex pulls its Noma LA support The Resy/Tock parent and longtime Noma partner confirmed the move after it canceled a planned industry dinner scheduled for next week.

"This comes after a remarkable [NYT] report that highlighted a history of alleged physical and mental abuse inside Noma from 2009 to 2017. A decade later [...] former workers say Noma’s founding chef, René Redzepi, 'has not acknowledged the extent of the violence they say he inflicted for years.'"

that's DEI, to me <3

The flyers were paid for by the Democracy and Justice Political Action Committee. Chris Woodfin, a lobbyist and attorney with Woodfin Law in Williamsburg, is listed as the organization’s treasurer and counsel. Cordoza is also chairman of the similarly named organization Justice for Democracy. Woodfin confirmed that both of those organizations and a PAC formed last month called No Gerrymandering Virginia are clients of his, but said they were otherwise unaffiliated. Initial large donor campaign finance reports showed that William Fralin, a former Republican delegate who represented parts of Botetourt and Roanoke Counties from 2004 to 2010, had donated $10,000 to Justice for Democracy. But that’s not correct: He said, and Woodfin confirmed, that he in fact donated to No Gerrymandering Virginia. Large finance reports totaling $10,000 or more are due within three days of the donation, but other campaign finance reports won’t be available till April.

OK so it looks like former VA GOP delegate/white guy William Fralin did *not* in fact fund this race-baiting mailer; he just donated to some of the same guys who did lol:
