Batya Ungar-Sargon: Musk changed the subject to 10-year old UK grooming gangs scandal on X to change the subject from his unpopular H-1B visas stance
Look! Over there! A deer!
Story here.
Britain, Starmer, England: 14, 15, 20. H-1B nowhere to be found.

Experts say high food prices are here to stay. Here’s why
“Once food price goes up, it tends to stay up,” said Claudia Sahm, a chief economist at New Century Advisors. “The inflation may come back down, so you don’t see the big price increases. But outside of widespread depression, we don’t tend to see prices falling across the board.”
Sahm exaggerates because she knows there is almost no likelihood of real food price declines coming, but it wouldn't take a depression.
The last time we had actual food price deflation, on a sustained basis, was in the 1950s, with 1959 being the last time at -1.6%.
But yes, the biggest declines come during depressions, which are hardly desirable for the overall damage they do.
In 1921 this index hit -24%; in 1931 -17.5% and 1932 -16.8%.
But what good are low prices when you don't have a job? You'll still have to make those lard and dandelion sandwiches to get by because bologna will still be too expensive.

Elon Musk steps up his relentless war against free speech on his own platform, urges users to block comments from all unverified accounts, which is just people who won't pay
Thanks to this prick.
I can still remember the many accounts which claimed how outraged they were that they now had to pay to keep their verification blue check marks, but now they all pay.
So, non-paying accounts will soon experience more of being unable to reply because everyone will fall in line, effectively making the platform the little toddler's echo chamber.
Oh yeah, and he wants nothing but happy talk, too.

Chip Roy (TX-21) was silent for Mike Johnson, then 13 minutes later voted for him because he did not want to be "that guy" lol
Matt Gaetz is not in the House today, that's why we have 434 not 435. He resigned after winning re-election.
That vote could have come in real handy right about now, but no, FL-1 had to have a prima donna in the House.
Others not voting for Mike Johnson:
Keith Self (TX-3)
Ralph Norman (SC-5)
Thomas Massie (KY-4).
Buh bye Debbie Stabenow
Comrade Slotkin replaces Stabenow as the now junior senator from Michigan. Senator Gary Women Love Peters is also present for the swearing-in.
Buh bye Mitt Romney
Romney stands by as Utah Senator Curtis (blocked in the photo by Kamala Harris) is sworn in today.
Watch here.
