I think it was in the low to mid 20s last year

This is a very effective ad and they should run it nationwide this October

Garlic fries are extra, but worth it. Just bring a very large wad of cash, or at least 2 credit cards

Also tonight: a small plane crashed somewhere and it looks like everyone is ok.

At least half their featured items are like this, along with one or two on Iran or tariffs

The crazy crab sandwich at Oracle Park in SF.

I just got fed the CBS Evening News feed on Twitter, and here are four of the stories they’re featuring tonight.

(In case you were wondering why their ratings are tanking amid a historic news cycle.)

Carr’s Drive-Thru Dinner Donald Trump’s FCC chair Brendan Carr is set to attend the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, Status has learned, where he will mingle with journalists and news executives at an event ostensibly abou...

CBS News has invited Pete Hegseth and Stephen Miller to join them at that execrable dinner, and now, via @oliverdarcy.bsky.social, we learn that CBS’s parent, Paramount, has invited Brendan Carr.

Yes, that Brendan Carr.

"City prosecutor Marcus McDowell said it wasn’t a free speech case but argued 'no one has a Constitutional right to dress up as an erect penis and stand on the side of the road.'"

(For the record, the costume had, erm, somewhat deflated by the time of the arrest.)

Exclusive | What We Learned From a Secret Deposition of Ken Paxton A previously hidden document sheds new light on ethical questions surrounding the GOP Senate candidate and Texas attorney general.

"In 2019, attorneys questioned Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton about his conduct as a lawyer:

"Had he turned over a former client’s communications to an attorney suing that client?

"Paxton acknowledged that he had."

Would love to see the Kalshi odds on this happening.

Don't be too surprised when companies say, "we are unable to lower prices even after receiving the tariff refund because we used it to compensate for increased fuel costs"

I still listen to my dad's voicemails from time to time.

My parents died around 10 and 30 years ago. I find the memories still come racing back at unexpected moments, but they instill more warmth -- often a chuckle or a smile -- and less grief.

27. Even after stealth-editing their headline over the weekend, in a feable attempt to reduce the appearance of partisan animus, Defendants have doubled Case 1:26-cv-01329 Document 1 Filed 04/20/26 Page 10 of 19 down on their knowingly false claims in an X post, made this very morning in the pre-dawn hours that reads: Kash Patel's colleagues are alarmed by what they say is erratic behavior and excessive drinking, Sarah Fitzpatrick reports. More than two dozen people she spoke with described his management failures and conduct that could harm national security.? As discussed above, these claims about erratic behavior and excessive drinking are fabricated, and Defendants were on notice of this. As dicussed below, Fitzpatrick knows that her anonymous sources, unwilling to go on the record, are partisans with axes to grind and are not in a position to know the facts.

it isn't defamatory to point out that this brief misspells feeble lol because that's just facts

“Trump appears to have further complicated the negotiations and, thus, Vance’s task.

“The president spent much of the weekend proclaiming that Iran had agreed to all of his demands and expressing optimism that a deal was close.

“Iranian leaders have denied his claims.”

Rep. Elise Stefanik booed, heckled at NY event YouTube video by ABC News

This is in her home district.

The one redeeming thing about Stefanik is how she went from thinking she’d be on a world stage as UN ambassador, to getting booed off a podium during a ceremony to name a county office building for a dead guy who no one outside of Plattsburgh N.Y. has ever heard of

If the Dems draw an inside straight and win the Senate, it’s pretty likely that Alito and/or Thomas will be putting down their deposits at the Villages the next morning

Is it a “madman theory” if the guy behind it all is actually a madman?

Sigh

Look, the Rockies beat the Dodgers two in a row this weekend, so sure, gas might be below $3 this year.

It's a good thing we have a federal executive branch that's committed to supporting development of mRNA vaccines.

I was pissed off the piece didn’t mention that issue!

Just days before a two-week cease-fire between the U.S. and Iran was set to expire, President Trump and Iranian officials disagreed on Sunday over whether top officials would meet this week in Pakistan for a second round of negotiations to end the war. Hours after Mr. Trump said American officials would attend talks in Islamabad, the Pakistani capital, Iranian state media said Tehran had not yet agreed to any such meeting. The stakes for such talks, should they happen, are high: failure would risk reigniting the fighting and global economic upheaval. A White House official said Vice President JD Vance was expected to lead a U.S. delegation, accompanied by the top Trump aides Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. The negotiations would be the second meeting of high-level officials since the cease-fire went into effect on April 8. The conflicting accounts about the state of the negotiations came as the economically vital Strait of Hormuz remained all but closed, a move Mr. Trump characterized in a social media post on Sunday as a “total violation of our cease-fire.”

You can picture Vance, Kushner and Witkoff in their Uber right now, checking their phones and arguing with each other over whether to bother going to the airport because who wants to do that round trip if the talks are cancelled. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/04...

Why Yale’s term paper on what’s wrong with college gets a ‘D-’ | Will Bunch An Ivy League university's report on the loss of faith in higher ed ignores what really killed the American Dream of college.

That Yale report on what's wrong with U.S. college saw some trees (high cost, unfair admission, etc.) but missed the forest: the 60-year right-wing crusade to undermine higher ed, from slashing budgets to stifling speech

CNN @CNN • 3h President Donald Trump will participate in a public Bible reading this week as the administration continues to integrate religion, particularly Christianity, into official business. cnn.it/4vLlaFI TRUMP TO READ BIBLE VERSE FROM OVAL OFFICE AFTER FEUD WITH POPE AND DELETED AI IMAGE

Dear CNN, we do separate religion from our government. And as a major outlet, your job is to remind everyone exactly on that.

It seemed like Donald Trump's appetite for risk had run out, and his fears were ramping up. It was Good Friday afternoon in a nearly empty West Wing soon after the president learned that an American jet had been shot down in Iran, with two airmen missing. Trump screamed at aides for hours. The Europeans aren't helping, he said repeatedly. Gas prices averaged $4.09. Images of the 1979 Iranian hostage crisis-one of the biggest international policy failures of a presidency in recent times—had been looming large in his mind, people who have spoken to him said. "If you look at what happened with Jimmy Carter... with the helicopters and the hostages, it cost them the election," Trump had said in March. "What a mess." Trump demanded that the military go get them immediately. But the U.S. hadn't been on the ground in Iran since the government overthrow that led to the hostage crisis, and they needed to figure out how to get into treacherous Iranian terrain and avoid Tehran's own military. Aides kept the president out of the room as they got minute-by-minute updates because they believed his impatience wouldn't be heipful, instead updating him at meaningful moments, a senior administration official said.

Chew on this one for a spell:

“Aides kept the president out of the room … because they believed his impatience wouldn’t be helpful.”

‘A trend that can’t be ignored’: Dems have made up ground in nearly every election since Trump took office POLITICO’s analysis shows a clear trend in red and blue districts alike.

In the special elections leading to the 2018 midterms (when Dems would net 40 House seats), margins shifted to the left in two-thirds of the results.

The comparable stat for the months leading to the 2026 midterms: 85 percent.
