Sen. Jack Reed to Warsh as he dodges questions about divesting his assets: "Excuse me. I must commend you on the way you can circularly go around questions and not answer them. It's a skill. Unfortunately it's not a good skill for the chairman of the Fed."
We need a labeler here that lets everyone know.

Tesla saved $400 million on its federal taxes by shifting billions of its U.S. profits to countries with lower tax rates.
Yes: While you paid your taxes in full, giant corporations maneuvered to pay as little as possible — and it’s all perfectly legal for them.
The system is rigged.
Emails released on Monday by California’s attorney general show Amazon allegedly colluding with other companies to raise the prices of pet treats, khaki pants, eyedrops and other products sold online
Governor Tim Walz — "We are sick of this. A weak, reckless, Idiotic president just threw us into a war nobody asked for. No threat existed. No objectives were set. No exit plan exists. This is pure fascism." #cdnpoli
SEN. @ossoff.senate.gov : “The faithless president depicts himself as Christ while he plunges the nation into wars of choice… Remember — While you pay more for everything, the First Family’s wealth is growing by billions. Because they’re crooks, and everybody knows it.”
We must require ALL data centers and other extremely large corporate users of electricity to generate their own electricity at their own expense If we don't do this, we are either idiots and/or masochists.
Keep Walking The Walk,Mayor Mamdani.......
The fact there was a mass shooting with EIGHT dead today and it barely made the front page of any news site tells you everything you need to know how fucked up we are as a country. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/19/us/shreveport...
I don’t think we talk nearly enough about the fact that corporations like Amazon, don’t pay a single cent to maintain the roads they use, the transportation system they use, the courts they use, they pay nothing for the infrastructure that is absolutely critical to their business.

I still have my dad's copy of this excellent album of Beatles covers. I like this version as much as the Fab Four's. 🎧🎹🎶🎤🎵
I Feel Fine - Chet Atkins
This was a big hit for Tony Bennett, but as with so many songs, Frank Sinatra did it better - especially when you have Count Basie and his orchestra behind you, and Quincy Jones producing. This entire album is a great Sinatra primer. 🎧🎹🎶🎤🎵
I Wanna Be Around - Frank Sinatra
The New York Mets' Horror Show continues.
They lose their 10th in a row, 4-2, to the Chicago Cubs.
It's now their longest losing streak since 2004.
They have been outscored 60-18 in this streak.
They have the worst record in baseball, 7-14.
I would not be surprised to one day open an old box and find some. I've been a collector of things all my life.
@brianbeutler.bsky.social Can a state court accept into evidence someone's Federal pardon, as it is an admission of guilt, by definition?
More than 70 organizations, including the ACLU, EPIC, and Fight for the Future, say the AI smart glasses feature would endanger abuse victims, immigrants, and LGBTQ+ people.
Daughter couldn't figure out why both laptops would shut off while she was typing. Been driving her crazy for months. Even consulted the dreaded AI, which she hates. She mentioned to wife, who identified the issue immediately: daughter's Fitbit magnetic wristband acted like she was closing the lid.
The company Emrod is already transmitting energy over kilometers without cables, using microwaves and laser-based safety.

Lol! I had all of them from probably the first 3 or 4 years. They were very big in NJ when I was a kid. Here's a classic! 😂
Wacky Package is still around?
One thing I’ll note is for a guy who’s mad about everyone who ever miffed him, he’s never once brought up the guy who shot him (allegedly)
That's awful news. He always reminded me of Bernie Williams. Total pro, great all-around baseball player. Way too young.
“But let’s be realistic, it’s not as if immigrant labor is coming in and literally getting American citizens fired and kicked off of farms,” Mr. Lash said. “They’re working jobs that people either American citizens don’t want or can’t perform. People don’t understand how physically demanding these jobs are.” Senator Ted Cruz of Texas, a Republican, did not respond to a request for comment about whether he would support calls for work permits. Senator John Cornyn of Texas, also a Republican, declined to comment.
Isn't this what Democrats have been saying for over 10 years?
Also, Cruz and Cornyn are useless.

I'm no fan of Erdoğan, but I am a fan of Türkiye. The U.S. needs to nip this in the bud. Israel cannot be permitted to target our NATO allies, especially when U.S. forces are being hosted on Turkish bases. I also thought that Erdoğan and Trump had a good relationship.
The man has no personal character.
