I will say though that renting a dresser for $40 per month is horrifying to me.

Why are media outlets perpetuating the myth that Trump struck a meaningful “deal”?

Congrats to Trump, the world’s greatest negotiator, for convincing the Mexican government to do something they already decided to do a year ago qz.com/1325983/mexico…

Trump did the exact same thing with North Korea. He hyped a landmark agreement when the North Koreans agreed to nothing. We’ll see what this “deal” is with Mexico...

One of the thing that the media has not adjusted to after more than two years of Trump: He is much more likely to lie than tell the truth
There is no evidence that Trump struck a meaningful “deal on migrants”

Trump says he’s struck a deal with Mexico to eliminate ALL illegal immigration. The details of this agreement are so impressive Trump is choosing to reveal absolutely nothing about it. twitter.com/realdonaldtrum…

Facebook told me this year that they don’t have humans reviewing political ads before they go live, even for presidential candidates

Right. The scale creates massive externalities that the companies can solve and still be massively profitable. The buisness model makes this inevitable

True but Facebook for example doesn’t have anyone looking at the ads for even the presidential candidates before they go up. That wouldn’t take more than a few people. And Google had 30B in revenue last q. They could review the videos their algorithm flags for false positives

Tech companies could hire actual people to make these decisions but it would make them much less profitable so they try to use computers and it never works.

Trump will also be personally reading the responses of anyone who fills out his border survey by 11:59PM tonight. (You still have 3 minutes.) pic.twitter.com/FzpjWtIXtc

New Trump campaign Facebook ad claims Trump will personally read the name of everyone who signs his birthday card.
Earlier ads said they were closing in on 1 million signatures.
Also, Trump doesn't read. pic.twitter.com/gZvZTF0cDA

5. This is a devastating blow to Tucker and Ingraham.
Bayer was Ingraham's #2 overall advertiser this year, running 180 spots. Bayer was Tucker's #5 advertiser.

Correct. They are privately now saying they will no longer advertise. We’ll be monitoring
