Get Your Dunkin' Tuesday

 We're here. I don't know how to emphasize this enough, but all of the warnings about Climate Change were right. We're here. And those who had the least to do with it are suffering immensely. Storms are taking lives. Mudslides, landslides, floods, you name it. Unfortunately, yesterday Nepal and India lost over 60 people combined . That's the tally today. It kills me that we have an administration that doesn't take this seriously. An administration that would rather have us suck on smog than do anything. It's infuriating knowing we have the means to fix this, to reverse the effects; we need to vote these sociopaths out.  Here are your highlights:   If we ever take back the House and Senate, new rules need to be written so a sadistic president can't withhold funding over his fee fees .  Jack Smith testifies in front of the Senate .  The attack on our National Parks continues. This time ATVs go vroom .  Hegseth says they're going to "guard" electi...

 The midterms! Early voting has begun in Illinois. If you need more info, it's here . The way Republicans have been acting, the Blue Wave is coming. I really hope that's true. 2024 has made me more cynical than I ever thought possible. Trump continues to yell about voter fraud, SCOTUS seems willing to let districts discriminate, and ICE agents will likely be at polling places. Nevertheless, I think gas prices alone will sink the GOP. Maybe now (they won't) the electorate will realize only one party is serious about the economy.  Here are your highlights:  5 British suspects arrested, explosives found near US base .  Woah. Anthropic and OpenAI admit that thousands of rogue agents are out and about .  Cornell has some explaining to do . Parents, please don't let your boys become the 7.  That weird commercial with Trump walking in a hallway. It's illegal .  Farmers are feeling the economic pain .  Not good. Poland is preparing for a Russian attack ....

Get Your Dunkin' Friday

 What Trump did for Xi yesterday was an embarrassment. Just  as bad was all the  tech bros there , sucking up to Xi . We've known for a while now that Silicon Valley execs want to be oligarchs (pretty much are) and Trump is a fascist. This wasn't normal. China has been buying Iranian oil while providing Iran with intelligence. They may be responsible for American soldiers dying. And yet the red carpet, the pomp and circumstance, were rolled out for an authoritarian regime and its leader. I hope every bite of food was cold and bland.  Here are your highlights:   Bibi rages at the UN . Take him to the Hague.  Tim Tebow has always given me the ick. Remember his weird pro-life mom-tackling commercial? Apparently, he's also into ripping off his fellow Christians .  23 states urge Congress to regulate AI .  Maybe it wasn't a good strategy to have a Starbucks on every corner . Closure of 250 stores.  Escalation. Turkey and Pakistan meet to discuss j...

Get Your Dunkin' Thursday

 Trump is a lame duck loser of a president. I think it's wise to move on from him. It looks like some Republicans are already doing that on the campaign trail. Our job is to not let folks forget who the Republican Party really is: a bunch of MAGA and Trump sycophants who took away healthcare from millions, raised gas prices, and started a forever war with Iran. Hammer this home.  Here are your highlights:   Early voting polling places in Central Illinois .  Conservatives are going after Cannabis again. It could wreck so many in the industry .  More than 167,000 pounds of meat recalled .  Shocking. Elizabeth Holmes moved to a halfway house . My guess: Trump helped make the move.  FBI was hacked, and it exposed its Hacking Unit Team .  A good read and some realistic ideas. The Democratic Playbook for taking on Trump after the midterms .  I am Frank Chow, and I approve this message.

Get Your Dunkin' Wednesday

  Trump and XI are "set" to talk about AI . I highly doubt anything gets done. Trump is touting AI as "Super Intelligence," leading into Zuckerberg's branding. If we had a normal, functioning government, we'd talk about regulation, data centers, and clean energy solutions. Instead, we might, at best, get a little bit more of those rare materials. It's not good that Xi has been so silent about all of this.  Here are your highlights:   "Fraud" Vance and Oz are cutting hundreds of thousands of people off Obamacare . Stupid, cruel, and more stupid.  Mississippi continues to be a Confederate state. Justice for Nolan Wells .  1st Amendment, what are you?   Susan Collins should be in jail . This story from ProPublica is wild.  Midterms are here, and the Republicans are already playing the blame game. Stephen Miller is freaking out, and it's awesome . Those internal polls must be a disaster.  I am Frank Chow, and I approve this message.

 The Orange Menace is set to address world leaders at the UN today. He's expected to declare himself a " peacemaker ." We know this is complete bullshit. He's the laughing stock of the world, and he has no idea. He was baited into a war with Iran, and he likely committed war crimes in doing so. I'll never forgive the folks who thought "Donald the Dove" was a thing.  Here are your highlights:   Republicans won't "flee" Trump .  Monopolies aren't a thing anymore. Paramount deal goes through . Newsom, you punk.  Coal miners feel the lasting pain of black lung .  More "peacemaker" shit. Houthis escalate in Yemen .  Whoops! Australia admits F-35 parts accidentally shipped to Hong Kong .  The prediction market business is evil. Kalshi wants to let users bet with borrowed funds .  I am Frank Chow, and I approve this message.

 It was a rainy and hot game on Saturday, but the Illini did their job and stomped the Salukis. Unfortunately, Sunday wasn't good at all. The Commanders QB Jayden Daniels injured his elbow. It was brutal, leading to Tom Brady cursing on live TV. I don't know why I keep thinking things will change. Being a Commanders fan is detrimental to my health.  Here are your highlights:   Trump has banned CNN, Politico, and MSNow . Dictator stuff.  Nothing to see here. Bitcoin reaches its highest level since January .  ICE agent shoots DoorDash driver . Dems need to destroy ICE.  Is the Pentagon lying to us about the death toll from the Iran War?   Tropical Storm Polo... might become a hurricane .  Putin's party wins again in Russia , but some signs his war with Ukraine is straining support.  I am Frank Chow, and I approve this message.
