Most publications with paywalls are cheaper per month than a cup of coffee, or a magazine, or even a music or film subscription. If you don't want to pay for them that's fine but don't complain about the paywall, would you walk into a shop and say 'HEY WHY IS THAT STUFF IN THE WINDOW NOT FREE?'

As with everything he says, this is wildly uninformed. Formula keeps getting better and saves lives. And modern research indicates that outcomes are roughly the same. There are reasons to breastfeed but your child isn’t suffering if you don’t

Owning shares in a soybean farm does not make you a soybean farmer. All it means is that you are rich and understand the tax code.

it’s pretty funny that Duffy is simultaneously

1. scolding passengers for not wearing fancy clothes while flying

2. supporting airport gyms so passengers can be sweaty and gross while flying

both of these proposals are idiotic but the direct contradiction is next level

Video shows masked Border Patrol agent chasing woman back to her Louisiana home Jacelynn Guzman said she is a U.S.-born citizen. The Department of Homeland Security said Friday that it "determined the individual in question was not the target."

"She said she repeatedly told the agents she’s a U.S. citizen.

“I just kept repeating it — I’m a U.S.-born citizen. I was born and raised here. This is my home. My baby’s waiting for me...”

She screamed “Leave me alone...”

Trump to Unveil $12 Billion Bailout for Farmers The financial aid comes as the agriculture sector grapples with the fallout from the president’s tariffs.

1) Impose massive tariffs on China
2) China retaliates by ending its soybean imports
3) Cut deal w/ China so they'll buy our soybeans
4) China buys only 20%, so far, of what it agreed to purchase
5) Offer $12 billion to US farmers so they don't go bankrupt

Paramount Skydance launches hostile bid for WBD after Netflix wins bidding war Netflix won a bidding war for the Warner Bros. film studio and HBO Max streaming service, but it doesn't plan to buy WBD's TV networks.

This is just how we do mergers now.

"Paramount executives also plan to argue their deal will have a much shorter regulatory approval process given the company’s smaller size and friendly relationship with the Trump administration."

Trump’s Own Mortgages Match His Description of Mortgage Fraud, Records Reveal The Trump administration has argued that Fed board member Lisa Cook may have committed mortgage fraud by declaring more than one primary residence on her loans. We found Trump once did the very thing ...

Trump committed mortgage fraud, according to Trump.

Somehow I doubt his DOJ will go after him the way he instructed his DOJ to go after his political enemies over this.

Every Republican accusation is a confession.

I’d be curious to know how big the Costco board is and what they’re paid. Is that searchable for a public company? Either way they must get shares of a stock that trades in the $800’s. Nice work if you can get it.

I would really appreciate it if you, and anyone else who says “RI doesn’t have a Costco” would follow it with ”because RI has the most ridiculous outdated liquor laws of just about any state in the country.” Seriously I think there are 3 states with more backwards laws than us. 🙄
