People saw this online and wondered why this couldn’t be sold in the USA.
Toyota is going to sell it in the USA.
Assembled in Indiana.

Fun fact: the next Toyota Highlander will have 18 cup holders. And in each one, my wife will have a half empty Ozarka water bottle from Costco

Paxton losing by 700k votes. He is cooked. Cruz only won in a presidential year by 960k votes.

The most entertaining part of the Weil bankruptcy will be the trustee pursuing all the “waived” fees that have been sitting on Weil’s books for years and the clients not having any idea.

This is why I believe there should be no “journalistic privilege”. There is no such thing as journalistic ethics.
Woodward wants to sell books so he decides he can just start naming confidential sources.
You don’t get to pick & choose your ethical obligations
Bob Woodward spills his ‘Secrets’: In a new memoir, the legendary reporter names a parade of confidential sources who enabled monumental scoops in The Washington Post and his blockbuster books. wapo.st/3UbZzrD

I don’t think the math works here
Billionaires pay the same amount into Social Security as someone making $184,500.
If we ended that absurdity & applied the payroll tax to all income above $250,000, Social Security would be solvent for 75 years & benefits would be expanded by $2,400.
Let’s do it.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The Social Security Administration (SSA) has modeled uncapping the payroll tax with no benefit changes and found it would return the program to annual surpluses for just three years, through 2029, at which point annual deficits would resume.

Look, the 5-10% of people she refers to are “crazy.”
I learned early in my career that you do not negotiate with crazy. It’s not possible. No agreement is final. You get a deal & they come back. They don’t want the drama to end even if you give them what they say they want
Met Cheney twice. Pre-VP. Really nice guy. Didn’t need to be. You can learn a lot about a politician by how they treat their staff. Maybe learn more by how they treat other people’s staff.

Didn’t this guy’s administration sign the paperwork that gave it up?
Q: "Are you willing to rule out U.S. boots on the ground to get Bagram back?"
Trump: "We won't talk about that. But we're talking now to Afghanistan. We want it back and we want it back soon, right away."
Q: "Are you willing to rule out U.S. boots on the ground?"
Trump: "If they don't do it, you're going to find out what I'm going to do."

Once again, @Apple , please allow us to archive contacts & phone numbers & addresses for people/places we no longer need on a regular basis. I want to keep my company’s old address for record keeping but I never want to accidentally use it. Same for my cardiologist.

Not gonna lie. It may be tin foil hat nonsense, but this doesn’t strike me as the text conversation of two twenty year olds who are dating/living together.
I showed this to my 21 and 23-year-old sons, and they said no one they know this age texts like this. They said, "Mom, this is how you text".
Do you know any 22-year-olds who text other kids like this?
They don't use complete sentences with correct punctuation.

If a real easy to find out if someone was looking at porn on a government device. This should not be an item of speculation.
OK schools chief Ryan Walters issues a statement tonight where he claims that the board members who said they observed porn playing on his screen during a meeting are lying and they should resign in disgrace.
