Great kicker. Marc Benioff’s PR team wanted him to do an interview about philanthropy. Instead he sounded off on a bunch of Trump policies he supports and called for the White House to send troops to SF. Doesn’t seem like the comms team was pleased with how the interview went..
New: In an interview days before his Dreamforce conference comes to town, Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff said he would support Donald Trump sending National Guard troops to San Francisco. And he said Trump is doing “a great job.”

Yesterday, MAGA voices were calling the indictment "airtight." It's the opposite of airtight.
NYT reports that Letitia James’s great niece lives in the home that is the subject of the indictment. The niece reportedly testified before a *different* grand jury, telling them that she had lived there for many years without paying rent. James visits regularly.

While few details have been shared about Russell Vought’s latest layoffs, there is no question this is poorly timed and yet another example of this administration’s punitive actions toward the federal workforce. The termination of federal employees in a shutdown will further hurt

Blatant violation of the Hatch Act, illegally using taxpayer money for political propaganda. I know - no one cares.
A new Noem video is being played at airports trashing Democrats.

Fascinating that she voted for this OMB nominee that is basically humiliating her in her role as Approps Chair.
SUSAN COLLINS, Wednesday: "I've made very clear that I do not believe there should be firings of furloughed workers." RUSS VOUGHT, Friday: "The RIFs have begun."

Suddenly the House doesn’t seem like such a bad place to work
House GOP leaders just noticed the rest of NEXT WEEK as a district work period - meaning House won't be in. they remain on a 48-hour notice to return

I subscribe to the Post primarily because I value them as the best source of local news coverage, but they've been consistently disinvesting from that sphere so I'm canceling now and going to look for new local publications to support.

I tried to keep an open mind about Jeff Bezos' desire to reconfigure the Post opinion section around "free markets and individual liberties" but it's turned into total garbage with remarkable speed. This is much worse than the tariff coverage at WSJ opinion or The Free Press

Marjorie Taylor Green fact checked this @WhiteHouse lie earlier today: "Prices have not come down. That is a reality. Peoples' wages have not gone up. That's another reality."
Trump: We are bringing down grocery prices. But the big thing is energy. When you bring down energy, everything comes down.

Quite the deflection on the actual fraud issue the Wash. Post exposed at the VA. Not a denial!
The out-of-touch @washingtonpost supports college scholarships for illegal immigrants, then turns around and advocates for cutting disabled American Veterans’ benefits. No wonder the Post is hemorrhaging money. Nobody wants to read their crazy, Trump-deranged ramblings!

So CNN is now calling DOD the "Department of War" -- Trump's nickname for DOD, not its actual name -- and after being kicked of DOD's building. All normal stuff here.

Worth noting: Jimmy Kimmel has now been back on the air for about two weeks. Brendan Carr said not long ago that if Kimmel stayed on the air, he would pull broadcast licenses of ABC affiliates. So... where’s Carr? He seems to have backed down after pressure from Ted Cruz and

Sorry, just seeing this. I love this challenge! Sure, vote for the Republican AG candidate. And Dems should announce they’ll immediately ask for Jay Jones’s resignation if he wins. Ok, your turn @mkhammer! Denounce Trump and push Republicans to remove him. Deal?
@senderowiczj @njh2005 Correct, by the Bulwark standard, this is not an option. She must go full Republican on that part of the ticket and then, also according to the Bulwark standard, she must reject all Democrats who have not sufficiently, constantly denounced Jones, which would make her an R again.
