The Best One Yet - 🏴☠️ “That’s huuuuge shrinkage” — Walmart’s $2.5B theft. Fanatics’ Yankees strategy. AutoZone’s grandma car.
We just calculated that Walmart lost $2.5B this year from shoplifting. The sports apparel brand Fanatics just hit a $31B valuation because it’s borrowing the business model of the New York Yankees. And AutoZone’s stock just hit an all-time high because America’s cars are acting like America’s grandmas.

NBN Book of the Day - Timothy Shenk, “Realigners: Partisan Hacks, Political Visionaries, and the Struggle to Rule American Democracy” (FSG, 2022)
These days it seems that nobody is satisfied with American democracy. Critics across the ideological spectrum warn that the country is heading toward catastrophe but also complain that nothing seems to change. At the same time, many have begun to wonder if the gulf between elites and ordinary people has turned democracy itself into a myth. The urge to defend the country’s foundations and to dismantle them coexist―often within the same people. How did we get here? Why does it feel like the country is both grinding to a halt and falling to pieces?
In Realigners: Partisan Hacks, Political Visionaries, and the Struggle to Rule American Democracy (FSG, 2022), the historian Timothy Shenk offers an eye-opening new biography of the American political tradition. In a history that runs from the drafting of the Constitution to the storming of the Capitol, Shenk offers sharp pen portraits of signal characters from James Madison and Charles Sumner to Phyllis Schlafly and Barack Obama. The result is an entertaining and provocative reassessment of the people who built the electoral coalitions that defined American democracy―and a guide for a time when figures ranging from Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to MAGA-minded nationalists seek to turn radical dreams into political realities.
In an era when it seems democracy is caught in perpetual crisis, Realigners looks at earlier moments when popular majorities transformed American life. We’ve had those moments before. And if there’s an escape from the doom loop that American politics has become, it’s because we might have one again.

What A Day - Donald Trump Presents: Storage Wars
The Washington Post reported that a team hired by former President Donald Trump’s lawyers found at least two documents marked “classified” inside a storage unit in West Palm Beach, Florida. It’s the first indication that more potentially sensitive material was, or could still be, at one of Trump’s properties.
China is reportedly easing some of its strict “zero COVID” policies, following mass protests over the government’s response to the pandemic. But there are questions about how the rollback will be implemented, as China faces an increasing number of new infections.
And in headlines: Peruvian lawmakers swore in their first female president after ousting her predecessor, German authorities arrested 25 people accused of plotting a far-right coup, and hundreds of New York Times journalists will stage a historic 24-hour strike.

The Daily Signal - INTERVIEW | Ambassador John Richmond Explains Root Cause of Human Trafficking, Offers Solution
Today, there are believed to be more people trapped in slavery than at any other time in history. These are individuals who are victims of sex trafficking and forced labor. They are women, men, and children.
There are “27.6 million people [who] are estimated to be victims of trafficking,” John Richmond, the former U.S. ambassador to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons during the Trump administration, says.
Tragically, governments around the world are “identifying less than half of 1% of all those victims every year," Richmond says. “We are failing to actually identify, protect, and care for the victims of trafficking, and the traffickers are moving around with impunity.”
At the end of the day, human trafficking will only be stopped when the traffickers are stopped, he says.
“The root cause of the problem are the individuals who decide to exploit inherently valuable people just because they're vulnerable.”
Richmond, who also an attorney and senior fellow at the Atlantic Council, joins "The Daily Signal Podcast" to discuss the core issues driving human trafficking today, and what is being done to rescue victims.
To learn more about how to be a part of the solution to solving human trafficking, visit the International Justice Mission or Love Does websites.
