George Arison is done letting Wall Street's "Grindr discount" go unchallenged — in a wide-ranging Q&A, the CEO walks us through how AI, a controversial $350-plus EDGE tier, and a bet on healthcare and long-distance matchmaking are turning Grindr into the "gayborhood in your pocket" he's been promising since 2022.

Trump 'Lake America' Lampooned As Insane Distraction
The United States is locked in another Middle East quagmire, the American economy is shedding jobs, wage growth is decelerating, and the costs of essentials are rising, but President Donald Trump on Thursday took time to hold an Oval Office event for the signing of an executive order renaming Lake Ontario to “Lake America,” as his damaging trade war with Canada intensifies.

Trump To Welker: Report The Truth, I'll Report You To The FCC
On Sunday Donald Trump vowed to report Meet the Press host Kristen Welker to the FCC because she rightly reported that Trump has had mixed results on his endorsements leading up to 2026 midterm elections.
This is another blatant attempt to bully the media and undermine the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
Welker did a pre-MTP interview on NBC and made these statements.
Politico recently reported that his picks for governor in four states failed to win the nomination." While House backed candidates in Tennessee and Michigan failed as well, while Lindsey Graham's sister was forced into a runoff in Georgia.
WELKER: Well, he's going to loom large over these midterms, there's no doubt about that.
He of course has endorsed a slate of candidates in the primaries.
He's had some mixed results, but most recently his pick of Senator Darline Graham, of course the sister of the late Senator Lindsey Graham, was successful in her primary battle, so now she takes on Dr. Annie Andrews in South Carolina.
Maybe Demented Donald thought she said he was of "mixed" race?
Vonshitzhispants is having sh*t fits over the slightest thing.
He continues to dissemble right before our eyes. His threat is empty, just a way to make sure we all know he's still the boss. Here's what he wrote:

Why Doesn't Fox News Call Out Trump's Other Horrific Lies?
On Thursday, Fox News host Bret Baier took umbrage when Trump attacked Fox News' Jonathan Hunt as a "flunky" over his report on the Iran war.
Oh, the horror.
Trump responded, "Jonathan Hunt of Fox News did a particularly inaccurate report on the Failing Islamic Republic of Iran. I don’t want to meet; they do. In fact, they are begging to make a deal. Bret Baier should straighten out his flunkies, for a change! President DJT.”
Bret Baier would not have it.
BAIER: First of all, Jonathan Hunt's not a flunky.
He's a great reporter.
Second of all, Mr. President, we didn't say you wanted to meet.
In fact, we played a soundbite that you didn't want to meet, and there are no negotiations.
We said that Treasury Secretary BesSent is hoping to meet with G20 countries to increase the pressure on Iran and that Gulf state allies, including Qatar, are inside Tehran trying to get Iran to agree to concessions.
That was what it said.
Too bad Baier and every other Fox News host refused to call out Trump when he repeatedly lies and makes sh*t up against anyone that disagrees with him or caused him consternation in the past or present.
Ron has it right.

Is Scott Bessent Trying To Blow Up The Global Financial System?
“Why would I want to blow up the global financial system?” Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said during a press conference earlier this week, while discussing Iran. In our history, no president or White House would deliberately hurt the global economy, right?
However, some believe Treasury Secretary Bessent and President Trump have harmed both our economy and the global economy through self-inflicted errors. The U.S. Bond Market is making headlines this week.
Billionaire investor Stanley Druckenmiller blasted Bessent in a Wall Street Journal op-ed. Druckenmiller’s column, “Let the Bond Market Speak,” set off alarms.
The respected billionaire said that Bessent’s bond market maneuvers are not the way to fix bond yields, that his efforts will fail, and that it will give allies another reason to lose trust in America.
Stephanie Ruhle tried to explain why Druckenmiller’s op-ed was a big deal:
Self-Inflicted Errors
According to reports from MSNow, the Trump administration has made multiple self-inflicted errors:

Trump Sneakily Working To Give Away Part Of Yosemite To Private Developer
The Trump administration has been “secretly plotting” to give away a portion of America's public land in Yosemite National Park to a private developer with ties to Trump cronies. The developer wants to build a road into the park and develop two 40-acre parcels near the park, according to The New York Times.
The road “would give the land exceptionally rare private access to a park that is otherwise almost entirely buffered by national forests,” NOTUS said.
In other words, the road would almost certainly give a tremendous boost to the value of the developer’s real estate, at the expense of the public. The developer is supposed to buy and donate back to the government some other piece of land for public use. I think it's a safe bet it will be nowhere as valuable or meaningful as the piece of historic Yosemite being taken away.
The portion of Yosemite Trump wants to give away “is near one of its most iconic sights, the Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias, which President Abraham Lincoln signed a grant to protect during the American Civil War,” The Daily Beast noted.

Federal Judge Blocks Trump's Attempt To Restrict Mail-In Voting
A federal judge has temporarily blocked Trump's attempt to derail the midterm election by restricting mail-in voting.
Judge blocks rule implementing Trump plan to restrict mail-in voting:
A federal judge on Thursday blocked the U.S. Postal Service from implementing core parts of a new rule it adopted at President Donald Trump's direction that would tighten mail-in voting requirements ahead of the November congressional elections.
U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani in Boston issued a temporary restraining order at the behest of Democratic-led states and voting rights groups after the U.S. Supreme Court on Monday issued a ruling that led to the lifting of earlier injunctions blocking Trump's plans to restrict mail-in voting.
That decision led to a frantic effort by dozens of Democratic state attorneys general and voting rights groups including the League of Women Voters to renew their legal fight and secure an order that would prevent the USPS from enforcing a rule that was allowed to take effect on Wednesday.
