(A repugnant tweet presumably done for the publicity it earned, and contrary to what Johnson said, he doubled down on it)Johnson: Clay Higgins is a dear friend of mine and a colleague from Louisiana, and a very frank and outspoken person. He's also a very principled man. I didn’t even see it but he tweeted something today about Haitians.

(Wisconsin)This is wild. In Wausau, the clerk decided to use drop boxes. Then the mayor, sporting a Department of Public Works vest, got caught on video carting the drop box inside to his office, *after the city attorney said he didn’t have the right to move it*https://t.co/ys5oTEhHCF

He might be the "bad boy" of entertainment, but Sean Combs will forever be a New York City kid who made good. He's given so much back to his roots, and every move he makes is proof that hustle pays off.

My favorite Eric Adams story is this one from Curbed where they tried to prove he actually lived in NYC by staking out his house for a week.

It's probably foolish to think a NYC mayor will successfully translate into being a national political figure, but I still think Eric Adams would be in my top 5 for "who will be the next Democratic presidential nominee after Joe Biden?".

Huge news. 13 days later, Harper's has miraculously replied to my half-baked request for comment on their baffling cover. Their email to me: "The Atlantic, owned by Laurene Powell Jobs, is now, in effect, a subsidiary of Apple and a tool of OpenAI..." 1/4 https://t.co/QUraxHJjiT

Harper's posted about it"Placing the Atlantic logo under the Apple logo is a way of dramatizing The Atlantic’s sellout to big tech, and also to sound the alarm in general about Silicon Valley’s corrupting influence on the American media." 3/4
