The White House, Trump, and the DoorDash Grandmother All Said She Saved $11,000 From No Tax on Tips. The Actual Number Isn't Close - Wealth of Geeks Every major outlet that covered Sharon Simmons' DoorDash delivery to the White House on Monday ran the same number: $11,000.

I said the other day that the claim that the DoorDash grandma had saved $11,000 from the dumb, pandering “no tax on tips” policy made no sense. Yahoo Finance did the math. wealthofgeeks.com/the-white-ho...

About time.

Have seen the phrase, “Pope v The Dope” popping up.

Remember when he was asked what his fave Bible quote was, and he said: “all of them”? Clearly that’s because he wrote it

While you’re worried about rent and healthcare, Andy Harris is overseas helping dismantle democracy.

He says he admires Orbán’s “illiberal democracy.”

I’m more embarrassed every day.
