Former Walt Disney World VP Dan Cockerell on who killed the Tatooine-Themed Star Wars land: "We got a call one day. They said, ‘Well, we got some news for you all.’ And the Imagineering guys, they’ve heard this line many, many times during their careers. And I had never been through this.” "They said, ‘Well, yesterday Bob Iger met with Kathleen Kennedy, who as a lot people may know was sort of George Lucas’ protégé and headed up Lucasfilm. And they had a conversation. They had a meeting. And Kathleen Kennedy, her point of view was, there are way more Disney Star Wars stories ahead of us than behind us. So we really should think about do we want to build a Tatooine, and build what all the fifty-somethings remember Star Wars is or do we want to build something else which is going to appeal to all the upcoming generations who are going to know the new stories.' And that day Tatooine was killed at the Studios. And all of those concepts were put on a shelf and I’m sure they are sitting in a vault, and I’m sure they’re going be shown someday about what that land looked like and what the attractions were going to be." How disastrous was this decision?

So when you are in a long line at rhe airport this week, just remember that you're there because of Donald J. Trump.

From CBS News to MeidasTouch, which was originally founded as a PAC to oppose Donald Trump:

At an airport right now. Insanity. Why do people vote GOP?

The ACA was signed into law 16 years ago today, bringing health care coverage to millions of Americans. But now, 22 million Americans are struggling to afford health insurance because Donald Trump and Senate Republicans refused to extend the ACA tax credits, which could drive families into crippling debt. I won’t stand for these attacks because every American deserves access to high-quality, affordable health care.

Lindsey Graham on Kharg Island: "We did Iwo Jima. We can do this."

Frankly, after seeing Trump’s post about Mueller, I’m a little disappointed. I wish he were meaner, more vindictive, and would hit back harder at the people who framed him for treason, divided this country, and tried to throw him in prison. Democrats are already promising that if they get back in power, they will find ways to prosecute members of this administration. They are so lucky that Trump is not nearly as evil as they are.

This is the only thing you need to know. Democrats want to open TSA. Republicans are refusing because they want to attach ICE funding. That’s why there are long lines. ICE.

And it seems to me, you lived your life, like a candle in the wind…..

Trump says he'll collapse Iran's energy infrastructure if it doesn't open the Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours

This bad proposal won’t pass (it’s not actually backed by the leadership that makes Albany run, the famous 3 men in a room), but I think folks in startup spaces haven’t internalized that many Dems really do want fewer startups, especially in tech.

About the Iran war, I think a reporter ought to ask President Trump a simple, short question: "What is the purpose of the war?" I wonder how he'd answer.

New IRS domestic migration data shows tens of billions of dollars continuing to move into low-tax states.  From 2022 to 2023, the largest net income gains came at the expense of high-tax states losing residents, income, and opportunity.  Americans are voting with their feet!

Who's going to stick a mic in Jon Ossoff's face and make him defend what he's doing to Georgians in this airport? Or are we gonna interview the people in line & ask if they are mad at Ossoff? Or are we not doing that in this particular shutdown, unlike the prior ones?
