Amplify the good stuff. Bring attention to topics in danger of falling off the radar. Focus on legit news in need of amplification. Remember: Carl Bernstein says, "Truth is not neutral." Christiane Amanpour, says be "truthful, not neutral."

And the buck stops where?
PERINO: There was an X post that talked about a ship safely going through Strait of Hormuz. It wasn't true. People lost money. What have you done to ensure it doesn't happen again? Will you personally approve posts?
WRIGHT: Yes I will. I take full ownership. Very unfortunate. It won't happen again.
They either didn't know Iran would shut down the Strait of Hormuz or they knew and didn't have a plan.
Either way - just totally clear they don't give a damn about what this war means for hardworking Americans.
Working class Americans - with their lives, with their tax dollars, at the same time this same President tells us we cannot afford healthcare.
The President of the United States decided to take the country into war. House and Senate Republicans? They voted against the War Powers resolutions - and gave him the green light to do so on his own.
One man decides. Who pays for it?

4. NONE of these companies responded. It appears that they are planning to pocket the money.
So far only two companies have announced plans to offer consumers refunds or discounts: FedEx and Costco.
Yet another reason to enjoy Costco. [and now FedEx]
Ah, yes, American Exceptionalism: the Palantir edition.
Adams, Jefferson, Lincoln, Harriet Tubman, Jane Addams, FDR, MLK, etc would all be so proud.
Avoiding all products from co's led by amoral nuts takes work, but Palantir/Thiel/Karp empire is a good place to start.

I agree with @jilldlawrence.bsky.social -- James Talarico has a chance of pulling off a Texas Senate victory. It's decency vs. MAGA.

There's a reason the Republicans in Texas, heck, in the US are afraid of James Talarico. Give him 1 minute. Just 1 minute. He can do more in that time to engage with everyone (religion not required) than most Republicans can muster in a lifetime. Sincerity. Hope. Decency.
