Linda Yaccarino Finds New CEO Role at Health Company eMed The post, at the company that focuses on care for GLP-1 users, comes after Yaccarino left Elon Musk's X in July.

"So I says to myself, 'Self,' I says, 'After a tenure as the public-facing brand ambassador for a Nazi water cooler, what industry can I transition into that's nearly as universally adored and respected?'"

If we emerge with a non-fascist society, each and every university administrator who Chamberlained or Vichied to any degree must be ruthlessly expelled from any position of responsibility or influence. Let their name be stricken from every tablet. They shouldn’t run a hot-dog stand.

A Gallup popularity chart showing the Pope at +46, Bernie at +11, AOC at -4, Trump at -16, Musk at -28.

Two most popular politicians on this list are Bernie (the rare double-digit positive opinion) and AOC. Elon Musk is one of the most unpopular people in the world.

I’d like to think Bill Cassidy’s self-debasement is complete but I think he can go even lower. app.theadvocate.com/article/cass...

in a very real sense, freedom of the press is ending in the US because the legacy political media simply doesn’t want it any more

Hi, former Foreign Service Officer here

The Secretary of State might be interested to learn that visa requirements and terms are generally reciprocal. We do it to them, they do it to us.

The drop for positive approval for Lisa Murkowski:
-In January, it was at 47 percent.
-The July, after the One Big, Beautiful Bill, it dropped to 33 percent.

Murkowski has always relied on a hodgepodge of moderates, liberals and some old-school conservatives ever since her write-in. That's gone.

They are trying to tarnish this academic's reputation by implication. If SLU didn't want to talk about it because it was a personnel matter, they wouldn't say a single thing. But they're talking, and it's disgraceful. 2/2

SLU says carbon-capture researcher’s dismissal not related to her Lake Maurepas findings Dr. Fereshteh Emami was removed from testing project last week

So, SLU says they can't talk about this because it's a "personnel matter." But they *are* talking about it, right? By saying it's not about her research, they're implying it was misconduct. 1/2 www.fox8live.com/2025/08/04/s...

It's pretty wild. I feel like virtually every star at the Post is leaving. I'm sure there are people I'm missing. But I'm really not exaggerating. They've chased/induced virtually everyone out. I really can't think of ANY example remotely like it.

Does anyone believe this? Of course, they're lying. www.fox8live.com/2025/08/04/s...

The looming Trumpcession Orange man bad (for the economy).

"Most presidents do not want to suffer Jimmy Carter’s fate and so attempt to avoid massive unemployment, high inflation, and especially the combination of the two. Trump, in contrast, has been speedrunning the country toward stagflation." — @nberlat.bsky.social

The word you’re struggling to find is “extortion.”

REALITY CHECK:

Texas Democrats earn 45% of the vote—but under the GOP’s new gerrymandered map, they’d get just 21% of the seats.

That’s not representation. That’s rigging the system.

El Salvador’s Leader Is Autocrat to Some, Godsend to Others Lawmakers approved constitutional changes abolishing term limits and allowing President Nayib Bukele to stay in power indefinitely. Why now?

The New York Times goes both-sides with El Salvador’s Nayib Bukele, raising doubts about whether he’s really an autocrat even though Bukele has described himself as the world’s “coolest dictator.”
I think it’s clear that NYT is neutral on the question of democracy vs. dictatorship, even in the U.S.

The special treatment that we offer this little tiny country with an abysmal human rights record 6k miles away from our shores is just insane.

Donald J. Trump @realDonald Trump Sidney Sweeney, a registered Republican, has the HOTTEST ad out there. It's for American Eagle, and the jeans are "flying of the shelves." Go get 'em Sidney. On the other side of the ledger, Jaguar did a stupid, and seriously WOKE, advertisement, THAT IS A DISASTER. The CEO just resigned, the company is in turmoil. Shouldn't they have learned a lesson from Bud Lite, which went Woke and essentially destroyed, in a short but very Woke campaign, the Company. The market cap destruction has been unprecedented, BILLIONS OF DOLLARS LOST. Or just look at Woke singer Taylor Swift. Ever since I alerted the world as to what she was by saying on TRUTH that I can't stand her

Trump kills Sydney Sweeney’s reputation (while misspelling her name). She must be pleased.

Since the Texas Constitution does not allow the governor to remove legislators from office, doing so amounts to a self-coup and the resulting illegal government would not be legitimate. This is a crisis that will spiral.

The economy is on the precipice of recession. That’s the clear takeaway from last week’s economic data dump. Consumer spending has flatlined, construction and manufacturing are contracting, and employment is set to fall. And with inflation on the rise, it is tough for the Fed to come to the rescue. Unemployment remains low, but that’s only because labor force growth has gone sideways. The foreign-born workforce is shrinking, and labor force participation is declining. Telling is the economy-wide hiring freeze, particularly for recent graduates, and the decline in hours worked. It’s no mystery why the economy is struggling; blame increasing U.S. tariffs and highly restrictive immigration policy. The tariffs are cutting increasingly deeply into the profits of American companies and the purchasing power of American households. Fewer immigrant workers means a smaller economy. Any notion that the economic data misrepresents the reality of how the economy is performing is way off base. There are revisions to the data, even big revisions, but they universally say the economy is doing worse. That’s because it is. BTW, the DOGE cuts are a key factor in the revisions—not because BLS has cut staff, although that can’t help, but because the government often reports payrolls to BLS late. It didn’t matter when government employment was stable, but now that it’s declining, the cuts are picked up in the revisions.

Trump is panicking because the economic numbers are giving a recession vibe.
