Apple got a $2.2 billion tariff refund check. Amazon got $600 million.: Walmart got $10 Billion. So basically they got to raise all the prices then cash in?

This week, CBS News New York has radically changed their coverage. A segment that aired Monday highlighted that many people who lost a family member on 9/11 are “defending Mayor Mamdani’s inclusion in this year’s solemn remembrance ceremony.”
Johnny 🫧 Cowlick@jefferycowlick.bsky.social · 1h agoOn one hand, it's a good thing CBS finally told the truth. On the other hand, CBS can still go fuck themselves. Bullshit artist Bari Weiss and the Ellison family, even with all their money, can't buy back credibility. And smart Americans will never forgive them for what they did to Stephen Colbert.
Just a note that @jbendery.bsky.social is 100% worth following. Always finds stories like these that matter, and yet are a bit under the radar.

Oh wow, it's almost like the GOP sees our servicemembers as props and not people

Brown University has a widget that tracks the cost of the Iran war to American consumers (as contrasted to whatever the Pentagon is spending). Per-household cost now exceeds $600. iranwarcost.watson.brown.edu
SCHIFF: You told my staff you stood by your article in white nationalist website VDARE where you wrote, 'Muslim immigrants & their kids seem prone to terrorism' C: I wrote that article in support of Trump's travel ban S: Do you stand by it? C: I stand by that article S: That's all I need to know
Abdul El-Sayed was outspent 9-to-1 by AIPAC and corporate Super PACs in the most expensive Senate Democratic primary of all time. Last night, he proved that organized people can beat organized money.
I’m glad the President has his priorities straight.
El-Sayed: "My commitment to Jewish safety is the same commitment that I have to the safety of my own daughters. Because if there is one question of political philosophy that ought to animate us all, it's what would we do if we treated all our kids like they were all of our kids?"
Michigan, this is your target. Dems unite. The enemy is on the Right, the MAGA billionaire who lives in Florida. You really want this guy? Come on now.
El-Sayed: "If all Mike Rogers got is that 'his name is Abdul, and my name is Mike,' you're gonna be surprised how many people are like, 'Yeah, but that's the Abdul who wants to bring down the price of my groceries and make sure I got healthcare. So yeah, I like Abdul over your Mike from Florida.'"
Notice DOJ doesn't talk about its efforts to obtain state voter files anymore. They are 0-20 in those cases and today is the beginning of the quiet period -- states can no longer do systematic removals of names from the voter rolls. TLDR: We won!🥳
A gracious concession: “I want to congratulate Abdul El-Sayed on winning the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate. He is a doctor, a community health official, a Rhodes Scholar, and a dedicated Michigander. I am proud to offer my support as he takes on Mike Rogers in the general election…
NEWS: Rep. Chuck Edwards (R-NC) just dropped out of his re-election race at 3:32 a.m.m. He said he’s done running but will finish out his term. This after the House Ethics Committee found “substantial reason to believe [he] violated House Rules related to sexual harassment and hostile workplaces.”
Waking up to Sharia Law in NYC is crazy. Knicks won, crime is down, 2,000 toddlers are going to school for free, parents got “date night” with nyc babysitters, they’re building housing on city land, small businesses are saving money and selling ice cream. Its sunny out i should go get one.
“Lo, the corporate lobbies, Super PACs, and centrist Democratic establishment spent $60 million and lost. They had everything going for them, from TV ads to billionaire donors to consultants.” $60 million wasted trying to push one Democrat over another. Ugh.
God@thegodshow.com · 7h agoit’s official! Congrats @abdulelsayed.bsky.social !!
Republicans promised they wouldn’t touch Medicare. Then they passed a bill that triggers tens of billions in cuts. Seniors will feel it in higher costs, fewer providers, and harder choices between medicine and rent. Broken promises have consequences. #RepublicanMedicareCuts
Republicans won’t stop a corrupt tyrant from unnecessarily shaking down American taxpayers, but they *will* stop women from getting necessary healthcare. What amoral jackholes.
Zach’s t-shirt/memory quilt that was made for us. It’s just beyond words how amazing this is. She even made Butters her own little quilt.😽It really has me speechless. Check out the back of it! His sayings, his careers, his hobbies, his kids, his friends, his memories, our memories. Wow! 🥹🥹🥹
You don’t get to demand your doctor be a certain race. You don’t get to put your racism proudly on display in healthcare settings. You don’t get to demean an entire group of people and then expect them to save your life.

Also didn’t mention Trump was sent there due to bad behaviour.
Bluesky Fanatic@blueskyfanatic.bsky.social · 18h agoOnce a Liar, Always a Liar ================== The White House shared a photo of Trump's 1964 New York Military Academy yearbook photo. They failed to mention that the medals he's wearing are NOT his. Trump borrowed a dress jacket and multiple medals from fellow cadet Michael Scadron for the photo.
