Wisconsin is a swing state that went for Donny in 2016 and 2024. No sympathy. Maybe now they've learned their lesson. But, may they have the days they voted for.

Reporting curiously that there is a regular record of stocks being bought for Trump, which shortly afterward Trump would praise the company or CEO on his truth social account.

Yesssss, just a coincidence...

If he had a blind trust he wouldn't know which stocks are bought for him. But Eirc or Don Jr in charge.

Fox News let go of host Maria Bartiromo for leaking company information to the Trump administration, according to a report.

Thursday’s announcement stunned the media world with little explanation of why she was no longer with the network. In a brief statement, Fox said: “We thank Maria for her work over the last 12 ½ years and wish her all the best on her next chapter,” and said her departure was effective immediately.

Hours later, media watchdog Status provided more details. According to the outlet, after Trump gave a speech in July about election interference, Fox Business officials ordered the network’s top stars to stay clear of Trump's unsubstantiated claims. Several outlets noted that Fox gave little airtime to Trump’s speech in the hours and days that followed.

Bartiromo then leaked the company directive to the White House, according to Status. It's unclear if she reached out first, or the Trump team made the request.

By sharing the information, Bartiromo violated the terms of her employment agreement, Status noted.

"New Mexico officials are talking to FedEx and UPS about using their companies to deliver mail ballots instead of the Postal Service, said Secretary of State Maggie Toulouse Oliver (D)," reported The Washington Post's Patrick Marley and Justin Jouvenal on Sunday. "The cost would be manageable because the state sends out a relatively small number of mail-in ballots, she said. 'We are still planning for plan B in a worst-case scenario,' she said. 'There are other ways to deliver ballots.'"

In the Nov 2024 general election, MA mailed out 1.2 million ballots to voters who requested them. Assuming FedEx and UPS gives each town clerk a bulk rate, a primary and general election every 2 years, and the mailed ballot contains a SASE to return via FedEx or UPS, that can get pricey on town clerks.

May be more cost effective for a town like my town to hire a few couriers for the day and hand deliver each ballot to each residential address. Can't use the postal mailbox, though.
