This shit is so pitiful because you know Bessent would never normally enter a chain restaurant

David S. Bernstein @dbernstein.bsky.social

You really need to work hard to be the most obsequious member of Trump’s cabinet — by, for instance, eating lunch at Cheesecake Factory and alerting Fox Business, so they can interview you in defense of Obama’s joke about the White House decor. Well done Secretary Bessent! Your move, Doug Burgum!

To be fair, the achilles heel of a Fangio defense is that it requires you to get pressure with your front four. If you can’t do that, it starts to fall apart. And the Birds’ DL has been all but worthless in almost every game this year. 🦅

the thing is, they literally do. The claim is that the Arab world *once did* great things and *no longer does,* and that second part is not true. Conveniently, they keep records of who gets those prizes, so you can see that it is not true.

RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

Every major figure in this administration is an open bigot.

Two former Governors of South Carolina - one from each party - have endorsed Democrat Annie Andrews who is running against Sen. Darline Graham R-SC

Not that long ago, three major lower-court rulings against the executive branch on three unrelated topics would’ve been a busy *month,* and outlets would’ve rushed to write up such a run of adverse rulings. Now, it doesn’t feel unusual when we get three on the same *day.* It’s all … exhausting.

To throw my two cents on here, I think it looks more like an Au Bon Pain.

Trump is BIG MAD about Obama saying the White House now looks like Saddam opened a Cheesecake Factory: "He's not a smart guy. He's not smart at all ... for you to say it's a Cheesecake Factory, that just shows why you were a lousy president"

They filed this on the literal LAST day before the statute of limitations expired. Literally, the very last day. Give me a break. This is garbage.

My contribution to Cheesecake Factory discourse: Aryan Brotherhood of Texas gang members assaulted a mixed-race family. I identified one of them because he worked at a Cheesecake Factory and their Instagram page posted pictures of him. He has a back tattoo with SS bolts and phrase "Aryan Soldier"

bubble’s not popping anytime soon if anthropic is making this kind of money off claude, even if capex costs are still absurd

The unit economics here are frankly shocking they're so good. This is wildly stronger than I expected tbh.

Lula is to my left. Magyar is to my right. And I don’t care in the slightest, because they are the candidates of democracy against autocracy.

The Ramaswamy campaign not only tried to capitalize on a child rape victim, they did it by using an old homeless woman who—while vile—is in no mental shape to adequately understand the stakes. And did they pay her? Either answer is bad.

Donna Arthur — aka Amy Acton’s estranged mother, and the person whose testimony Vivek Ramaswamy devoutly trusts — has been living with her cats, in a car, in a church parking lot, having declined housing assistance. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/24/u...

Broadcasters have a First Amendment right to report polling data, even if it proves to be inaccurate, just like they have a First Amendment right to report on Brendan Carr and Trump’s own countless lies, even when they turn out to be inaccurate. More:

Detainees at ICE's Folkston detention center in Georgia say a Mexican national has taken his own life. Detainees heard the man screaming in pain while being held in solitary confinement. Then, the screams stopped. He is the 60th person to die in ICE custody under Trump. More to come...

Within five days of being deported from the U.S., Moussa Diawara says Ghanaian officials forced him onto a flight to Mali, the very country a U.S. immigration judge ruled he could not be deported to. Diawara says he was homeless and went into hiding. Watch the 60 Minutes report Sunday.

First and foremost Samuel Sey does not deserve this treatment and it is abhorrent. Secondly, the ones cheering this on are probably the ones who turned him and their racism is on full display and despicable. Finally this should be a wake up call- It. Does. Not. Matter. How. Much. Water. You. Carry.

Roys Report@roysreport.bsky.social

Samuel Sey wrote for The Daily Wire, World, TPUSA and Founders Ministries, arguing deportation is a Christian duty. He's now in an Ohio jail on an ICE hold, uncharged. Some allies call it a paperwork error. Others are cheering. "This is what I voted for," one wrote. roysreport.com/christian-co...

My take at Cato on why DOJ's lawsuit against Alaska is borderline frivolous, abusive, contemptuous of federalism and more. "In the aftermath of the 2020 election, courts made clear that they would not allow meritless litigation to steal an election. They may soon have to make that clear again."

The bigger question is how Musk can hold a security clearance or oversee the operations of a company with supersensitive and classified government contracts. Several FBI agents bluntly asked that question. They all got fired or reassigned and their supervisors were unable to answer their questions.
