As Fiserv CEO, Frank Bisignano overinflated sales projections before quickly cashing out with a $500M stock sale.

Now, Fiserv's market value has collapsed β€” and Trump has put Bisignano in charge of Social Security.

Be warned. https://www.commondreams.org/news/fiserv-ceo-frank-bisignano

#ICYMI: GOP lawmakers cite Georgia’s Pathways to Coverage as a national model for federal Medicaid work requirements that are set to take effect in 2027.

A GAO report shows the program has spent twice as much on administrative costs as on health care.

Also need to pressure FCC to uphold antitrust laws and bar the illegal mergers/acquisitions pursued by Nexstar and Sinclair (like Tegna)

Nexstar and Sinclair need to feel financial pressure. Start squeezing.

I hope FCC blocks Sinclair and Nexstar’s anti-trust violating merger/acquisition of more ABC stations like those owned by Tegna

On TikTok there are several accounts devoted to seeking and identifying people. They could find the suspect faster if provided better images and video.

Just reading about Anderson’s Pea Soup in Buellton, CA. It has closed and is scheduled for demotion.

It’s been a Highway 101 landmark since 1924. I can remember eating there with my grandparents in the early 1960s.

I’m broken hearted.

As the Buddhists say, β€œEverything changes”.

ANY QUESTIONS?!

Attacking Iran fits with Trump’s desire to divert attention from his failures at home: his losses in the courts, his unpopular budget bill, millions protesting against his authoritarianism. When he feels humiliated, he gets reckless…

Understand what's going on here.

LA DODGERS just now:

β€œThis morning, ICE agents came to Dodger Stadium and requested permission to access the parking lots. They were denied entry to the grounds by the organization. Tonight’s game will be played as scheduled.”

Right on, Dodgers!
More of this, please.

BREAKING: Trump "humiliated" as his pathetic birthday parade draws barely 20,000 people, as an estimated 10 MILLION Americans attended anti-Trump "No Kings" protests across America…

Karma. 😎✨

I cannot stress enough how much the anti-ICE protests are an overwhelming win for Democrats on social media. I’m seeing Instagram influencers who stayed silent on politics for the past year loudly sharing support for immigrants. I’m seeing podcasters who interviewed Trump talk about how wrong ICE is

Los Angeles: don’t take Trump’s bait.

Trump wants chaos and he’s instigated violence. Those who assault law enforcement or cause property damage will risk arrest.

Stay peaceful. Stay focused. Don’t give him the excuse he’s looking for.

Our trade deal so far is no tariffs on Rolls Royces and Bentleys and our refugee policy is white South Africans only.

ICE agents *know* what they are doing is probably illegal, which is why they try to conceal their identities with scarves and sunglasses. #AmericanGestapo

Israel plans to occupy and flatten all of Gaza if no deal by Trump's trip Trump has effectively given Netanyahu a green light to do as he sees fit, Israeli officials say.

This is an official plan for ethnic cleansing. If you supported Israel for the past 18 months or so under the assumption that this was about the hostages you were taken for a ride.

If you still support Israel's assault on Gaza, you support ethnic cleansing. It's that simple.

Louis Theroux: The Settlers is a deathly warning In this documentary, Theroux allows ultra-nationalist Israeli settlers to speak with perfect openness. It is chilling.

Hey @washingtonpost.com stop trying to make β€œFetch” a thing. The Vances will never be as cool as the Obamas or as sophisticated as the Kennedys. JD is no where near as charismatic Barack or Jack, and Usha compared to Michelle and Jackie? No. Just no.
