If Walgreens is going to support the Sedition Caucus, then I am no longer shopping at Walgreens (or, in NYC, Duane Reade, which is owned by Walgreens). Pass it on.
Just deleted the Walgreens app from my phone. Done.
Or Boots, for our friends in the UK. Boots is owned by Walgreens.

Shopping at Boots means supporting fascism.
Oh and now there’s a trending hashtag too - #BoycottWalgreens

Reply with it so we can get it to #1 and make sure @Walgreens hears us — and stops ALL donations to the seditious participants of January 6.

BREAKING - Secret Service cars were outside John Bolton’s home for 2 days. People seen removing black bags from the property.
Secret Service at Bolton home, per report from Forbes

forbes.com/sites/zachever…
So many questions. Is Bolton getting security coverage? Were the black bags filled with documents, computers, or phones? Who is running this operation?

This would seem to be more of an executive branch op (DOJ) than the work of the January 6 committee.

What’s going on here?

BREAKING - Spotify is no longer letting people cancel subscriptions.
Their customer service system is completely overwhelmed. People asking to cancel are being told they cannot.
Presumably Spotify will allow cancellations again at some point once their system is not so flooded.

Share any interactions you’re having with them.

What did the Trump SPAC potentially do wrong? The SPAC may have been rigged, violating the rules around SPACs and how they're supposed to work.

1) SPACs are "special purpose acquisition corporations." Investors put money in. The SPAC then goes out and buys an existing company.
2) A SPAC is *not* supposed to have a deal already pre-locked into place at the time the SPAC goes public and the investors buy in. Otherwise the SPAC would basically be a Trojan horse to sneak some other company onto the public stock market.
3) There have been reports that the "Trump SPAC," Digital World Acquisition Corp. (DWAC) was in touch with Trump's social media arm before DWAC went public -- and basically that the entire deal was rigged.

Major development in Rittenhouse case:

The judge & parties all agree that the jury may consider lesser charges.

This strongly increases the odds that Rittenhouse will get convicted of something — while reducing odds that he’ll get convicted of murder1 (which were low anyway).
Deeper cut: Rittenhouse’s lawyers are making a bet that their best hope is a sympathetic juror who refuses to convict of anything. So they want to reduce the risk of worst-case scenario of murder1 and a life sentence.
The prosecution is willing to give away murder1 (which was unlikely) in exchange of raising the odds of the murder2-type charges — where the state of mind required is recklessness not intentional planning.

BREAKING - After threats that 10,000 NYPD officers could quit the force over the NYC vaccine mandate, the actual number going on unpaid leave today was 34.
Even the NY Post has to report the actual numbers:

Also a good time to remember that the biggest killer of US police in 2020 and 2021 was COVID.

Tesla would not exist without the federal government. Obama bailed them out in 2009. Apparently Musk’s paper fortune is giving him amnesia.
Tesla paid back the loan - great. But the company would likely have gone into bankruptcy without the government extending credit.

And this is to say nothing of all the subsidies for consumers to buy electric cars. Or to build charging stations. Or the govt contracts to Tesla.
This is not some argument that the government created Tesla’s wealth and thus should own it — it’s that the government contributed mightily to that wealth. WE THE PEOPLE paid to support Tesla and now just want Musk to pay his fair share, still a tiny fraction of what he’s made.
