Perspective | I couldn’t travel, so I cooked the foods from my favorite trips. It got me through.

When the pandemic clipped my wings, I started flying in the kitchen.

Hal Steinbrenner is in favor of a salary cap it appears. "I helped craft the proposals that we have given at the bargaining table, and I support those proposals in their entirety. That should answer your question."

please. stop. yes, the other campaign runs mean ads too. this wasn't a mean ad. This was about childhood sexual abuse. Republicans weaponized it. Be as disgusted with me as you want, if there are no lines in the sand, we don't deserve civilization. nationalreview.com/corner/wh…

I visited a foie gras farm in France a few years ago. Happiest animals you’ll ever see. Zero cruelty. I’m voting no, because no government should tell us what we can eat - whether far-left zealots or MAHA jokers.
Caitlin Legacki@caitlegOct 21
I am voting against the foie gras ban because I am offended that anyone is spending time, money and energy on this. I don’t eat that nastiness, I hate the process, but this is not a good use of resources

WSJ: Minnesota’s Democratic U.S. Senate Nominee Inflated Academic Record Peggy Flanagan said she “graduated Phi Beta Kappa” while arguing a decade ago for legislation to encourage greater teacher diversity in Minnesota’s public schools. Now the state’s lieutenant governor and Democratic U.S. Senate nominee, Flanagan was a Minnesota House member when she said college teaching diversity transformed her from a high-school graduate with a 1.75 grade-point average to a University of Minnesota honors student. wsj.com/politics/policy/minn…

Minnesota Senate Candidate, in Reversal, Says She Is a Member of Honor Society

The day after her campaign said she couldn’t afford the fees to become member of Phi Beta Kappa, Flanagan said she was a member.

Interesting: @limebike has banned 1,000 users in D.C. over the last month for violating rules on the use of its e-scooters and bikes, including underage users, dangerous riding, and more. This comes amidst concerns over improper use and rule-breaking on the bikes and scooters.

Also in today's Morning Jolt, if you look at the horrific, sordid story of Amy Acton's childhood and conclude, “It would be a good idea to make an attack ad featuring Acton’s estranged mother denouncing her,” please see a therapist or perhaps a priest for an exorcism.

National media outlets are missing crucial context by not asking Abdul El-Sayed about his local supporters, endorsers, and fundraisers—figures like Osama Siblani, Mohammad Ali Elahi, and others.

Abdul El-Sayed tells ABC News in new interview that Israel isn’t an ally of the United States: “An ally that takes your money to push you into wars you shouldn't be fighting is not an ally.” “If your kid has a friend who keeps bumming off their money, talks about them behind their back, and gets them into fights with other friends, what would you tell your kid? You’d probably tell them maybe it’s not actually your friend.” Link to interview: abcnews.com/video/137396168/
