Would it be in bad faith to take this idea and run with it/put a different spin on it potentially for a new podcast? Been a long time fan and I’ll miss this dearly.

Congratulations to Trump on securing a $1.3 billion border security deal from Canada.... which was already negotiated in December 2024.

Elon Musk’s team has gotten access to the Treasury Department’s payments system.

This is so catastrophically bad.

NESN needs to fix their beanpot stream. That was basically unwatchable. Constant black screen flashing, and I know I’m not the only one.

So Trump has essentially set up a way for foreign governments to directly bribe him and to enrich himself off of his office more than anyone in history using crypto.

"Screenshot of a TikTok welcome message, reading: 'Welcome back! Thanks for your patience and support. As a result of President Trump's efforts, TikTok is back in the U.S.! You can continue to create, share, and discover all the things you love on TikTok.' Below the message is a 'Continue' button, with visible engagement metrics on the app interface in the background."

What a joke. Tiktok is state media now. Don't think they won't do whatever Trump says in terms of content moderation and the algorithm.

Donald Trump is the newest crypto billionaire His $TRUMP wealth overshadows Truth Social and his real estate holdings.

β€œThe $TRUMP memecoin β€” a financial asset that didn't exist on Friday afternoon β€” now accounts for about 89% of Donald Trump's net worth.”

Trump just became one of the top 25 richest people on earth. Through this. Insane, open & now normalized corruption.

Officers from #GMPTransportUnit stopped this Tesla Cybertruck in Whitefield last night.

The driver was a permanent UK resident but the vehicle was registered and insured abroad which is prohibited in the UK.

The Tesla Cybertruck is not road legal in the UK and does not hold a certificate of conformity.

Whilst this may seem trivial to some, legitimate concerns exist around the safety of other road users or pedestrians if they were involved in a collision with a Cybertruck.

The vehicle was subsequently seized under S165 of the Road Traffic Act and the driver reported.

Thank you to Greater Manchester Police for helping keep vulnerable road users safe from this.

There's a reason Tesla Cybertrucks are not legal in the UK and Europe; Cybertrucks present acute dangers to pedestrians and don’t meet European safety standards.

The vehicle has been seized.

Bezos spiked the Washington Post editorial endorsing Harris, saying that the paper needed to stay neutral to maintain the trust of its readership.

Dear Democratic Politicians & Candidates For Every Office From City Dog Catcher To President,

If you are in a new photo or video laughing it up & joking with Trump, do not send me fundraising emails telling me he is America’s Hitler.

Don’t ask for my vote either.

- Thank you.

BREAKING: Trump's wealthy cabinet nominees and transition officials are worth a combined $313 BILLION.

That's 616x higher than the mean wealth of the typical American household.

This is how you build a system that only works for the wealthy and their corporations.

Transgender wars are a test of whether our humanity can trump focus-group politics | Will Bunch Whether hate-filled TV ads helped elect Trump is no reason to stop fighting for the humanity of 1 million transgender Americans.

This is the first real moral test of Trump's 2nd presidency

Can Dems - and the rest of us - embrace the humanity of the transgender community? Or will their rights be sacrificed for focus group politics? A lot rides on getting this right

The whole "being trans is a mental illness" argument from conservatives/transphobes is so wild to me because imagine if we said people with depression should all die because we don't agree with SSRIs

A chart titled 'The world's billionaires and their average net worth, 2000-2024', that plots average net worth per billionaire as a line chart increasing from around $2 billion in 2000 to around $5 billion in 2024. Bubbles are also shown on a 5-year basis, showing the number of billionaires growing from 470 billionaires at the beginning of the period to 2,781 billionaires at the end.

This chart crushes me. There are more than five times as many billionaires as there were in 2000, and the average net worth per billionaire has nearly tripled, from $1.9bn to a staggering $5.1bn. They're fleecing us, undermining democracy, and burning the world - TAX THE RICH.
