Costco Says It Will Use Potential Tariff Refunds To Lower Prices It is unclear whether the wholesaler will receive tariff refunds, though it is one of several companies suing the Trump administration for the refunds.

"Costco will turn tariff refunds into lower prices for customers, the wholesaler’s CEO said during an earnings call Thursday, signaling savings for the wholesaler’s members if it can secure the payments" via lawsuit vs the Trump regime.

Good on Costco. Wish there were more corps like them.

Slurs Filled a Chat Created by a Republican Party Official in Florida

After the secretary of the Miami-Dade County Republican Party created the chat for college students, it devolved into slurs against Black and Jewish people.

Slurs spoke themselves unto the mouths of young GOP members again! I just hope that they're all OK!🀑

Slurs emitted themselves fully formed, from the fingertips of innocent far-right people! That must have been terrifying for them! 🀑

Pray for those that survived spontaneous chat room devolution! 🀑

If the Democrats return to power next January none of these Dems should be getting a leadership slot in any committees next year. If these Dems ever get in any position of leadership that means @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social & leadership don't give an F about accountability.

Non-citizens voting in federal elections is already illegal and extremely rare.

So what’s the SAVE Act really about?

Forcing millions of citizens to dig up passports or birth certificates just to register to vote.

Solve a fake problem. Create real barriers. #SaveActTaxesVoters

Check this out. During our Governor's race, Tate Reeves did his usual thing of sitting with Ole Miss and Mississippi State.

Presley went to the HBCUs and sat around a sea of Black folks and didn't look uncomfortable at all. Just chilling. That was a conversation amongst us.

Important to understand first: When your body is exposed to certain germs that can cause diseases, your immune system builds a β€œmemory” of them, so if you’re exposed to these germs again, your immune system recognizes them and knows how to fight them off. Your immune system also builds this memory when you get vaccinated, so you don’t have to get sick in order to protect yourself from future infections.

text says "Important to understand first: Immune amnesia means something has caused your body to lose, or β€œforget,” its memory of germs you’ve been exposed to before, meaning you’re more likely to get sick  and to experience severe illness if you’re exposed to it again.  Measles can cause your immune system to forget up to 73% of its memory. In other words, after having measles, you will be immune to measles, but may be at increased 
risk of other serious illnesses. Did you know? Measles is not the only virus that can harm your immune system. COVID-19 has also been found to cause long-term harm to your body’s ability to fight off illnesses, making you more likely to get sick and experience severe illness.”

Unfortunately, there’s no way to predict whose immune system will be most harmed by being sick. It can happen to anyone! The best way to avoid immune amnesia is to get vaccinated & take other steps to avoid getting sick  So please remember, it is not a good idea to expose 
yourself to these viruses on purpose in order to build 
        immunity! That is what vaccines are for. Getting sick makes you much more likely to hurt your immune system! Graphics of a vaccine, a mask, and an air purifier and open window symbolizing clean air

And for the record, I’ve been running long before this, and yes even after breaking my arm standing up for what I believe in. It’s only made me more determined. Anger is real, and so is resolve. Take care.

It would be terrible if America ran out of drones and had to go to Ukraine to beg for drones and cheap drone tech, and Trump to visit and be harassed by Zelensky for not wearing OD green while in a war. And Vance and Rubio had to yell Glory to the Heroes in order to get help from Europe as well.

Dear JD Vance,

Let me just start by saying, full disclosure, I hate your guts and will always rejoice in your misfortune. That being said, I have a little advice.

Your only chance of winning the presidency in 2028 is if you invoke the 25th amendment and stop the war in Iran.

Have a shitty day.
