Consider another example: When Vice President Kamala Harris's campaign endorsed a budget proposal including a 25 percent minimum tax on unrealized gains over $100 million—a policy affecting perhaps 10,000 of the wealthiest Americans-billionaire Mark Cuban publicly threatened to oppose her. The campaign, which had officially endorsed the policy, suddenly went silent and refused to comment when pressed by reporters. For context, 10,000 people is roughly the number of Americans who own pet tigers. A presidential campaign would not immediately backtrack if Joe Exotic claimed the country would never financially recover from a tax on tiger breeding. But when Mark Cuban made essentially the same self-interested argument, it carried real political weight.

"The appearance of Federal law enforcement agents on the doorstep of news reporters should shock the conscience of any American who believes in the Constitution and the press freedom it protects. Our journalists report the facts and advance the American public's right to know how their government is operating and their taxpayer dollars are being used. This brazen act should be seen as nothing more than an attempt to prevent the public from knowing what is happening in their country by intimidating journalists from doing their jobs." - David McCraw, Senior Vice President and Deputy General Counsel The lew Hork Times

Oreo Inbox Kira to me 2:49 PM Good afternoon, I wanted to let you know that Oreo does not have blood on his face. He put his face in my bowl of lasagna at lunch time. Happy Mother's Day! Suggested reply Oh my gosh, Kira! Lasagna face! That is so much better than blood. Glad he's just being a messy eater. Thank you for the Mother's Day wishes too! Hope you have a good one!

Quote post: Alexander Clarkson @aphcla... • 25m If there is no stable negotiated outcome in the next months then this and other crises drag out in ways that wreck the chances of any post-Trump US government as well as the global economy. • Patrick Chovanec @prc... • 52m • Posts over 20 times per day on average I am on the right end of the spectrum but i realize that as long as Trump is in power, he will only continue to find new and creative ways to make the world burn. There is no such thing as a "stable negotiated outcome" on anything as long as he remains in office.

I’m The Mexican-American Anti-Defamation Committee "threatened to file a $610 million defamation lawsuit against the Frito-Lay Corporation, its advertising agency, and the television networks CBS and ABC on behalf of all Mexican Americans" and claimed that the FCC fairness doctrine allowed them a right to "counter-speech" in response to marketing featuring the character. In response from pressure from the groups, Frito-Lay modified the character to appear more friendly. The gold tooth and beard were also removed. Following the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy in 1968, the Bandito no longer brandished pistols.
