Disputing $117,000 in charges from Palace Resorts three years ago – charges American Express had already ruled in their favor on.

TALK TO ME, TEXT IT Biden's scheduled call with Putin evokes memories of Reagan-era diplomacy when world leaders met face-to-face instead of through screens. Those personal encounters represented something powerful that today's digital diplomacy lacks. Skepticism has become our default setting. The White House Border Patrol deportation videos showing gang members being flown to Venezuelan prisons look too pristine, too perfectly staged. After years of pandemic information warfare, many Ameri...

What begins with neighborly yard-spraying shenanigans quickly spirals into commentary on how authorities calculate deadly fentanyl doses ("How do they know it'll be 65,000 people and not 66,000?") while unpacking a disturbing case involving both drug trafficking and dog fighting.
