Bobo's: Beryl Stafford. A Single Mom Turns a Baking Project into a $100M BusinessAt 40, Beryl Stafford's life cracked open. Her marriage ended, she hadn't worked in years, and she had two daughters to raise. She needed income—fast. So she did the only thing that felt real: she baked.What started as 4-ingredient oat bars— hastily placed in a Boulder coffee shop—became Bobo's, a national brand built in the Silicon Valley of natural foods. In this episode, Beryl walks us through the scrappy early days: buying ingredients at full retail, a risky $25K packaging machine, the Whole Foods breakthrough, the burnout, and the pressure shift that comes with outside capital—and Costco.It's a story powered by community support, relentless demos, and a founder who kept saying “yes” before she knew how.What you'll learn: Why “survival” can be a powerful founder advantageHow to sell your product before you feel ready (and why that's often the point)The unglamorous truth of early CPG: shelf life, shared kitchens, endless demosIn a trend-driven category, the value of sticking to a recipe “your grandmother could have made.” The two faces of Costco: growth rocket and operational trapTimestamps:08:35—Divorced at 40… “I was trying to survive.” 12:02—The baking project with her daughter… and the unexpected product-market signal17:21—The first sale: snack bars in cellophane; making up a price28:38—Sharing a kitchen with Justin's Nut Butters: scrappy collaboration + conflict31:49—The first-time founder playbook: sell first, learn the rest later33:54—Whole Foods says yes… before she knows what “freezer safe packaging” even means39:10—Getting into national distribution: “What just happened?” 46:34—Burnout, hiring a CEO, raising outside money—and what changes when investors arrive54:31—The Costco conundrum: huge upside, real downside —------------------This episode was produced by Noor Gill, with music by Ramtin Arablouei.Edited by Neva Grant, with research help from Alex Cheng.—--------------------- Follow How I Built This:Instagram → @howibuiltthisX → @HowIBuiltThisFacebook → How I Built ThisFollow Guy Raz:Instagram → @guy.razYoutube → guy_razX → @guyrazSubstack → guyraz.substack.comWebsite → guyraz.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

It's the beginning of March 2026 and my opportunity again to chat with Ellen Bayens of theceliacscene.com about studies and topics she has brought to our attention over the past month. Ellen and I tackle the tricky diagnosis of Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NSGS). I say tricky, because currently science is still struggling to find a way to make a diagnosis of celiac symptoms when a patient doesn't have the genetic predisposition for celiac disease. This question has been looking for an answer for a long time, and we may now be close. The good thing about NCGS is that Celiac Canada has welcomed those patients who suffer from eating gluten but may not fit the celiac diagnosis. We all share the same struggle. Ellen shares her thoughts on my recent podcast with Nicole Byrom RD about talking with children about a diagnosis of celiac disease. Nicole and I looked at this question from different scenarios and Ellen admitted that at the time when she was explaining her diagnosis to her children years ago, she missed some of the things that kids might read into the diagnosis. Ellen shares a (trial) find of Promise Gluten Free Bread at Costco and updates us on the Chocolate Covered Cheesecake from M & M Foodmarket.

Join Here:⁠⁠ ⁠⁠https://ow.ly/msoH50WCu0K⁠⁠The Nintendo Lawsuit Against U.S. Government Over Tariffs (2026) is heating up as Nintendo of America files suit on March 6, 2026, in the United States Court of International Trade. In this segment of Notorious Mass Effect, Analytic Dreamz dives into the high-profile case where Nintendo demands a full refund—with interest—of tariffs paid under now-invalidated policies imposed by the Trump administration starting February 1, 2025.The tariffs, enacted via executive orders under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), targeted imports from numerous countries, including key Nintendo manufacturing hubs like Vietnam and Cambodia. The Supreme Court ruled on February 20, 2026, in Learning Resources, Inc. v. Trump that IEEPA does not authorize such tariffs, deeming them unlawful and triggering over 380 similar corporate lawsuits (with thousands more including prior cases) from companies like Costco, Toyota, and GoPro seeking refunds on billions collected—estimates range from $166 billion to over $200 billion in total duties.Nintendo claims substantial harm from these "unlawful trade measures," citing impacts like delayed U.S. pre-orders for the Nintendo Switch 2 (originally set to begin April 9, 2025, but postponed due to tariff uncertainty) and price hikes on the original Switch and some Switch 2 peripherals in 2025 to offset costs. The suit names agencies including the U.S. Department of the Treasury, Homeland Security, Customs and Border Protection (CBP), Commerce, and the U.S. Trade Representative, plus officials like Scott Bessent and Kristi Noem.Refunds face delays: CBP cites manpower shortages, outdated systems, and massive volume, though a new processing system is expected in about 45 days. A federal judge has ordered reimbursements to begin, but logistical hurdles persist amid broader industry fallout, including potential future pressures like global RAM shortages.Analytic Dreamz breaks down the timeline, Supreme Court ruling, Nintendo's financial arguments, and what refunds could mean for console pricing across gaming—potentially stabilizing or lowering costs for Switch 2, PlayStation, Xbox, and hardware in 2026–2027 if the wave of litigation succeeds.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/analytic-dreamz-notorious-mass-effect/exclusive-contentPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

The Golden Crew is back, and this week Trevor is NOT dead — despite his best efforts to convince everyone otherwise. After a dramatic week of faking strep throat, sending blinking GIFs, and getting his wife Megan to photograph the inside of his throat for a very skeptical Teladoc doctor, Trevor has somehow survived to podcast another day.On the cruise news front, we've got a big week! The Carnival Sunshine went full blackout — losing power, propulsion, AND sanitation at 2 AM while returning to Norfolk. Tugboats, delayed embarkation, and a $25 onboard credit were involved. We break it all down. Then we talk about the Carnival Conquest's fresh glow-up out of dry dock, including the new Heroes Tribute Bar honoring our military veterans and active duty service members — and yes, the arcade came up too.We also touch on Puerto Vallarta's temporary removal from Carnival's Mexican Riviera routes (Jen is on the Costco update desk, so stay tuned to the Facebook group), and the 2026 Cruiseline.com Member Choice Awards — spoiler: Royal Caribbean swept basically everything and the crew has thoughts.And finally... waffle cones. We somehow end up in a deeply committed conversation about soft serve, cruise hacks, and things we probably should not describe in a family-friendly podcast description. You'll just have to listen.

Arun Sundaram shares his takeaways from Costco (COST) earnings, noting that it is growing topline above its peers. “It's one of the strongest earnings compounders in our retail coverage,” he says. He thinks the renewal rate for memberships will stabilize, arguing that the churn is coming from younger people who tend to have a higher churn rate across the board. He discusses how executive-tier members are providing the bulk of their revenue and how Costco is trying to grow penetration there. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

En el episodio de hoy de VG Daily, Andre Dos Santos y Juan Manuel de los Reyes conectan tres historias que juntas pintan un panorama macro más oscuro de lo que los titulares sugieren. La guerra en el Estrecho no es solo un conflicto geopolítico, es una variable que ya está afectando los modelos de riesgo de los mercados, y los datos de empleo de febrero llegaron esta semana a confirmar que la economía estadounidense ya venía debilitándose.Costco cierra el episodio como termómetro del consumidor, mejor de los estimados en ingresos y utilidades por acción, membresías sólidas, en linea acelerandom, y aun así la acción cae. A más de cincuenta veces utilidades, el mercado no premia el pasado, exige el futuro. Al salir, el oyente entiende por qué estos tres bloques no son noticias separadas, son capítulos del mismo libro, y el mercado está leyendo hacia adelante.

Jan Rogers Kniffen goes inside out on the retail sector. “I'm solidly optimistic on 2026,” he says, noting many earnings beats (despite market reactions). He thinks the current economy creates a recipe for a strong consumer, and there's “nothing on the horizon” to stop them. He argues that recent changes in tariff policy won't impact shoppers. He believes the top five retailers in the country are Walmart (WMT), Costco (COST), Home Depot (HD), TJX Companies (TJX), and Dick's Sporting Goods (DKS).

Meet my friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton! If you love Verdict, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too. Here’s a sample episode recapping four takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. How Does This End? The escalating conflict with Iran. Clay and Buck break down a major report from Fox News’ Trey Yingst, who reveals that Israel struck a gathering of Iran’s Supreme Council while they were choosing a new Supreme Leader—an unprecedented intelligence and operational blow. Clay and Buck analyze the implications of U.S.–Israeli air superiority, expressing the view that Iran’s leadership is increasingly vulnerable and unable to protect even top officials. They discuss the likelihood of the U.S. and Israel shaping Iran’s future leadership, referencing historic parallels such as the Northern Alliance in Afghanistan and Venezuela’s post‑Maduro transition. The conversation deepens as they react to President Trump’s warnings that failure to act against Iran’s nuclear program could have led to a “nuclear war,” followed by explosive comments from negotiator Steve Witkoff, who recounts Iran bragging about possessing enough enriched uranium for 11 nuclear bombs. Clay and Buck examine how these revelations accelerated U.S. action and what a post‑strike political landscape may look like inside Iran. Texas Primary Day! Clay Travis and Buck Sexton interview with Congressman Wesley Hunt, a leading candidate in the Texas Senate primary. Hunt lays out his case for next‑generation conservative leadership, citing his West Point background, combat service as an Apache pilot, support for term limits, and strong alignment with President Trump. He sharply criticizes what he calls the “soft bigotry of low expectations” from liberal politicians, slams Gavin Newsom’s recent comments, and emphasizes his commitment to cultural clarity on issues like gender, family values, and assimilation. Hunt also discusses Iran, calling Trump’s actions “peace through strength” and asserting that strategic force prevents greater conflict. Sen. Markwayne Mullin An extended interview featuring Senator Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma, who discusses the unfolding U.S.–Israel military campaign against Iran. Senator Mullin emphasizes that this is not another Iraq or Afghanistan but a direct confrontation with a regime that has targeted Americans for 47 years. He explains why President Trump’s strategy differs from previous administrations and outlines the intelligence behind striking Iranian leadership, including revelations that Iran claimed to possess enough enriched uranium for 11 nuclear bombs. Mullin argues that Trump’s approach—eliminating threats rather than delaying action—is both historically rare and strategically necessary. Clay and Buck then explore how these operations intersect with the America First doctrine. Senator Mullin responds to skeptical constituents by explaining why actions in Venezuela, Cuba, and Iran directly impact U.S. national security, from drug trafficking to global energy markets. He details how a nuclear‑armed Iran could destabilize world shipping lanes, spike oil prices, endanger U.S. allies, and ultimately threaten the American homeland. The conversation also touches on congressional issues including the SAVE Act and the challenges of overcoming a Senate filibuster. In a lighter turn, the hosts dive into a humorous discussion about physical fitness on Capitol Hill, reacting to viral footage of Secretary of War Pete Hegseth bench‑pressing 315 pounds. Senator Mullin, known for his own extreme fitness feats, compares strength metrics across members of Congress and discusses why physical conditioning boosts confidence, mental health, and leadership. Clay Buys a Tesla In a lighter cultural shift, Clay and Buck riff on generational habits, restaurant drink trends, and Costco culture—highlighted by Buck’s wife humorously blaming his Pellegrino obsession for her bulk‑shopping trips. This segues into a forward‑looking discussion on the future of autonomous driving, sparked by Clay’s firsthand experience with Tesla’s self-driving technology. They predict that self‑driving cars will become the global standard within a generation, reducing accidents, lowering insurance costs, ending drunk driving, and transforming how Americans view car ownership and transportation.

Ben & Woods start off the 8am hour by talking about Woodsy FINALLY getting ready to put his Costco membership card to use, but he's nervous. Then we play today's game of Take On Woods before the guys talk about a fan poll that was conducted by The Athletic recently, and where everyone's level of concern is at with a potential lockout coming, and who will blink first in negotiations between the players and the owners. Listen here!

Joining a church is really important, but for many people that entire idea can be misunderstood, complicated, or carry a lot of baggage. Maybe you have no qualms with church membership. Maybe you've never considered it. Maybe you think it's like Costco. No matter what you think, this episode will dispel any and all myths surrounding church membership. We think it's important, and we think you should think it's important. Humor us for about an hour to hear why. #ThanksMarkDever

The March 3 edition of the AgNet News Hour delivered one of the most candid conversations yet about the mounting pressures facing California agriculture. Hosts Nick Papagni and Josh McGill welcomed Dave Roberts of R7 Enterprises, a diversified grower in Woodlake farming cherries, citrus, lemons, pomegranates, Asian pears, avocados, and more. His message was clear: California farmers are doing everything right — but the system is making it harder and harder to survive. Roberts explained how global imports, shrinking marketing windows, and fewer major buyers are compressing profitability. In the lemon market alone, imports from the Southern Hemisphere have cut weeks out of California's traditional selling window. The result? More volume forced into a shorter time frame, softer prices, and in some cases, fruit left unharvested. “When fruit leaves my farm, everybody knows what they're going to get paid that day except for me,” Roberts said — a striking reality for any business owner. Beyond imports, consolidation is reshaping agriculture. Large retailers like Costco, Walmart, and Kroger dominate buying power, while smaller packers struggle to afford the new technology required to stay competitive. As packers consolidate, growers have fewer marketing options, often putting additional downward pressure on returns. Regulation remains another major challenge. Roberts estimates compliance costs are consuming roughly 20 percent of farm budgets. From labor and fuel to water policy and environmental mandates, the expenses continue climbing — without corresponding increases in farmgate prices. “The number one rule of sustainability is making a profit,” Roberts emphasized. Without profitability, there is no next generation. Water policy also dominated the discussion. Roberts voiced strong concerns about SGMA and the potential removal of productive farmland from use. With California already importing significant food, he questioned how reducing domestic production strengthens food security. “Food security is national security,” he said, urging policymakers to reconsider how water is stored, moved, and allocated. The conversation extended to labor reform, avocado imports, cartel-controlled production in Mexico, and the long-term future of small farming communities. Throughout the interview, one theme remained constant: farmers are willing to compete — but they need a level playing field. Roberts ended with a message of resilience, saying California agriculture “has to get better” because people depend on safe, nutritious food. For California farmers listening, the episode was more than an interview — it was a reflection of the real-world pressures many are feeling today.

In this retail heat map episode, Carol Spieckerman decodes retail's biggest retail stories and reveals the common threads. From Target's new CEO Michael Fiddelke's rapid-fire executive changes to Costco's beautifully boring consistency driving $4.8 billion in membership fees, Carol connects seemingly disparate headlines to show how retail's great sorting process continues. Plus, surprising insights into Gen Z's restaurant preferences (spoiler: bundt cakes beat McDonald's) and why Asian beauty retailer Sukoshi is poised to disrupt Ulta and Sephora's dominance.Key TakeawaysTarget's leadership shake-up reveals strategic priorities – New CEO Fiddelke consolidates merchandising under one leader, expands the board with Nike's John Hoke and ex-Walmart executive Steve Bratspies, and redeploys 500 positions to improve in-store experience. Carol analyzes why Target is doubling down on its traditional strengths (merchandising, design, marketing) while Walmart operates like a space-age technology company.Mall transformation isn't death, it's just different – With 1,200 malls remaining versus 1,500 in 2005, nearly half of redevelopments become mixed-use properties serving housing, healthcare, education, and community needs. Carol explains why prime real estate with existing infrastructure creates golden opportunities for developers.Costco's membership model generates unshakeable loyalty – Membership fees account for 50-65% of Costco's total profit, enabling razor-thin product margins while the iconic $1.50 hot dog combo (unchanged since 1985) drives customer devotion. Carol explains why "the worst Costco is like the worst pizza" and how tribal store loyalty eliminates comparison shopping.Gen Z restaurant preferences signal broader retail shifts – From Nothing Bundt Cakes to 7 Brew's service-focused coffee model beating Starbucks, Generation Z (ages 13-28) gravitates toward authentic, value-driven brands over corporate legacy names. Carol reveals why concepts like First Watch and Longhorn Steakhouse thrive by delivering Instagram-worthy experiences at accessible prices.Regional grocers and beauty disruptors prove specialization wins – H-E-B, Publix, Wegmans, and Hy-Vee succeed by leaning into regional identity rather than chasing national scale, while Canadian beauty retailer Sukoshi's 200+ Asian beauty brands create discovery experiences that big-box retailers can't replicate. Both examples show how focused expertise trumps broad mediocrity.The Retail RealityCarol identifies three crucial success factors for 2026: picking a lane and executing flawlessly (like Costco's pricing consistency), securing operational fundamentals before chasing innovation (Target's store-focused strategy), and tracking generational shifts that reshape entire categories (Gen Z's authentic service expectations, Asian beauty's permanent influence). The episode reveals how December's "flat" retail sales actually demonstrate consumer resilience amid tariff uncertainty and economic headwinds, with higher-income households maintaining confidence as middle and lower-income consumers grow cautious. Companies thriving through retail's ongoing transformation understand that operational consistency beats marketing theatrics, regional authenticity often outperforms national scale, and younger consumers reward genuine value over brand legacy. Want to be a guest on Spieckerman Speaks Retail?

Discover simple rules that can cut budget tracking fatigue and still show you where your money goes. How can you make a budgeting app reflect what you actually bought when one Costco or Target run covers five or 10 different categories? And how can you track those “commingled” purchases without spending your life itemizing receipts? Hosts Sean Pyles and Elizabeth Ayoola talk with personal finance Nerd Amanda Barroso about how to handle mixed transactions so your budget feels usable instead of exhausting. They begin with a discussion of why this problem is so common, features in budgeting apps like Monarch, YNAB, and EveryDollar that make categorizing easier, and how to decide when perfect tracking is the enemy of “good enough.” Then, they discuss practical ways to reduce budgeting fatigue while still learning where your money goes. They discuss how different apps approach splitting transactions, how to think about tradeoffs between accuracy and effort, and how to set simple personal rules that keep you consistent even when shopping gets messy.

Get access to the Operators channel expansion playbook, online masterclass, and up to $5k in ad credits. https://www.9operators.com/applovin Matt Bertulli, CEO of Pela Case and Lomi, and Mike Beckham, CEO of Simple Modern, sit down with Kat Cole, CEO of AG1, to trace one of the most unconventional executive careers in consumer. From hostess at Hooters at 17 to vice president by 26, to leading a multi-billion dollar restaurant empire through the pandemic, Kat's path defies every traditional playbook. The conversation covers how crisis sharpens leadership into an arrow, why Kat's “Hotshot Rule” has been a weekly practice for nearly two decades, and how AG1 quietly spent two years shoring up operations and clinical science before unleashing a wave of launches — new products, new flavors, a Costco debut, and Hugh Jackman — in a single six-month run. They also dig into the Athletic Greens to AG1 rebrand, what it really means to stay close to your customer when you're fully remote, and why Kat believes product quality is the most underrated growth strategy in the game.

You're writing the book of your life right now — every single day. The question is, will it have a joyful ending? Not happy. Joyful. There's a difference, and it matters more than most people realize. Too many people are living average lives, chasing shiny objects instead of building something that lasts. That's no way to write a story worth telling. In this episode, I'm sharing three things that separate people who live joyfully from those just getting by — and showing you how to start rewriting your story today. No waiting. Featured Story I walked into Costco the other day fresh off an Italian ice from Jeremiah's — the best spot in Daytona Beach. I'd literally just eaten when the sample lady appeared with cake. I grabbed one without thinking. My wife stared at me. "You just had ice cream." I said, "It's free. I have to eat it. It's required by law." She reminded me I was on a diet. I told her the diet starts Monday. It's Saturday. I'm the boss of me. That moment is funny, but it's also a perfect example of why writing a joyful life takes more than good intentions. Being the boss of you cuts both ways. Important Points Getting in your own way is how you learn and grow — your act is already solid; you're just ready for a brand-new one. Average lives are exhausting because people chase shiny objects rather than consistent actions that actually work. Think like a business owner — find what gets results, make it truly sustainable, and keep doing it every single day. Memorable Quotes Happy is overrated — joyful lasts. When you're truly joyful, you don't have to chase it down every single day. You have your act together right now. You just don't want it anymore — and that's exactly what growth looks like. Find what works, do it again and again and again, and watch your joyful ending write itself. That's the whole plan. Scott's Three-Step Approach Catch yourself getting in your own way and recognize it for what it actually is — the starting point of real growth. Drop the shiny objects and lock onto the one or two actions that consistently create the results you actually want. Build sustainable habits like a business owner, and your joyful book ending will start writing itself every day.

What happens when your paragliding wing folds in half 165 feet in the air, sending you on an 11-story plunge directly onto your ass? (Spoiler: You wake up and start a career in musical theater.) Most people's worst nightmare involves falling out of the sky. For CJ, that nightmare became a violent reality. On a "big air" day in Pemberton, BC, CJ's paragliding shute collapsed, and he fell 165 feet shattering nearly his entire lower spine, blowing out his sternum, and becoming a walking paraplegic. In this raw and hilarious conversation, CJ breaks down the "snowflake" of unique injuries that come with spinal cord damage. From the itchy feet you can't reach to the Costco-sized quantities of lube and the absolute horror of a Senna overdose. But CJ didn't grieve the "old CJ." Instead, he leaned into the discomfort, started saying "yes" to everything, and pivoted from managing risk to playing Rumpelstiltskin. This is a masterclass in radical gratitude, and the absurdity of the human body!Check out CJ's TV project here: https://socializedmedicine.tv You can watch this entire episode over on YouTube.

A.M. Edition for Feb. 24. The Trump administration is considering new national security tariffs on a half-dozen industries, after the Supreme Court last week invalidated many of the president's second-term levies. That ruling has prompted companies like FedEx, Revlon and Costco to file suit. Plus, President Trump is expected to tout the U.S. economy in his State of the Union later. But as WSJ's Alex Frangos explains, the economic report card is a bit more mixed. And, Ukraine marks a grim milestone as the war with Russia enters its fifth year. Daniel Bach hosts.

Welcome back to another completely normal episode of your favorite daily comedy show — where we try to cover the news and instead end up arguing about how grown adults wipe.It's Friday, February 20th, and we kick things off with breaking news out of Overland… or at least what King Scott thinks is breaking news. Police standoff? Barracuda? Barricade? Nobody knows. But what we DO know is that Overland crimes are apparently “nice crimes.” So that's comforting.From there, things spiral — as they always do — into a full-blown Costco obsession. Beard nets. Free samples. Elite memberships. Business Costcos (??). Is it a warehouse store or a secret society? Why are people lining up 45 minutes for half a grape in a Dixie cup? And most importantly: why are people fighting with shopping carts like it's Thunderdome?Then we enter what may be the most detailed bidet conversation ever recorded on radio. Rafe is remodeling his bathroom and suddenly finds himself staring down a futuristic Japanese toilet that looks like it was designed by NASA. Heated seats. Oscillating spray. Adjustable nozzle trajectory. Butt dryer. Predator-style control panel. The gang debates the ethics of plug-in toilets, self-cleaning mechanisms, and whether standing up to wipe makes you a psychopath. It's educational. It's unsettling. It's everything a daily comedy show should be.And just when you think it can't get grosser — hotel coffee machines enter the chat. A travel influencer suggests washing underwear in the in-room coffee maker. Yes. Brewing. Underwear. We unpack the horror of “panty coffee,” why you should never use hotel coffee makers again, and whether Big Bean (aka Starbucks) is secretly behind the propaganda.But wait — there's more chaos:• A woman abandons her Goldendoodle at the airport because she didn't fill out paperwork.• A pediatric dentist allegedly shows up hammered.• A school custodian hides in a locker room closet.• A former police chief sets houses on fire as revenge.• Thieves are feeding stolen iPhones into EcoATMs for $20.It's a rollercoaster of weird news, questionable humanity, and sarcastic humor — exactly what you expect from this daily comedy show coming straight out of St. Louis.Bathroom tech. Costco conspiracies. Rage bait influencers. Swamp justice hypotheticals. And one extremely adorable abandoned dog named JetBlue.Just another totally average day with Rizz and the gang.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Republicans are pushing forward with putting ICE at polling places. Trump's approval rating on immigration falls to a new low. The Texas GOP gets another warning sign. Stephen Colbert rips into CBS after they deny axing the James Talarico interview. Anderson Cooper walks away from 60 Minutes. Costco defied Trump on DEI and has seen a sales boom. MAGA turns on Trump after he brags about tax breaks.
