I wasn't aware of recent changes in Axios until I read the Wiki page on it, at the bottom.
TIL:
"On August 8, 2022, Axios announced that it had been sold to Cox Enterprises for $525 million. As part of the transaction, Axios spun out Axios HQ as a separate software company.[15][16] According to the deal, Cox owns 70% of the company, while Axios employees and its founders retain ownership of the remaining 30%.[1] The acquisition was completed the following month.

[3]Since 2021, Axios has launched a network of local newsletters across the United States.[17] The company has also focused on growing its events business.

[18]In March 2023, Axios fired Ben Montgomery, a Pulitzer Prize finalist, after he described as "propaganda" a Florida Department of Education press release about an event hosted by Governor Ron DeSantis "exposing the diversity equity and inclusion scam in higher education".

[19]In August 2024, Axios laid off 50 employees, which amounted to 10% of total staff.[20] "

Great response by Dan Rather.

When people don't have actual proof, they often turn to "they" to defend their ideas.

Trump: “They’ve wanted a | e F ballroom at the White S | | House for more than 150 years, but there’s never been a president that was good at ballrooms. I'm good at building things, and we’re going to build quickly and on time. It'll be beautiful, top, top of the line.” 

Dan Rather response: "Who is 'they?' This reporter has watched the White House for 60 years, and the ballroom ambition is news to me."

Dan Rather on Paramount’s $16 Million Trump Settlement: ‘It Was a Sell-Out to Extortion by the President’ (EXCLUSIVE)

dan rather, tim knox eyevine/redux

Legendary former CBS News anchor Dan Rather expressed disappointment Wednesday at Paramount Global‘s decision to pay $16 million to the Trump administration and settle its lawsuit over a “60 Minutes” report.

“It’s a sad day for journalism,” Rather told Variety. “It’s a sad day for ’60 Minutes’ and CBS News. I hope people will read the details of this and understand what it was. It was distortion by the President and a kneeling down and saying, ‘yes, sir,’ by billionaire corporate owners.

#DanRather’s newsletter on the hideous R #reconciliation bill today is worth a read in its entirety, but this paragraph in particular struck me. #USpol

“We can’t even speak of compassion — it is a concept #Trump does not comprehend. Today’s bill proves that his contempt for those who have less is endless. He isn’t content to let laws that help the poor stand. He feels the need to go after programs that are, in some cases, the difference between life and death.”

“If there were a playbook for how to be an authoritarian leader, one of the first rules would be that you don’t want an educated electorate or functioning members of society.” #DanRather #Education #Politics

Cool!
I heard a somewhat different version which goes: "When an ox enters a palace, he does not become a king, but the palace becomes a stable."
(ÖkĂŒz saraya çıkınca kral olmaz ama saray ahır olur.)

It would be cool to hear from native Turkish speakers about this.

“They aren’t designed as economic policy. The tariffs are simply a new, super dangerous political tool.”👇 #Trump #Politics #Agenda #Strategy #Power #DanRather

“
Legacy media, this nation’s bedrock for reliable reporting in my lifetime, is quickly going the way of the dodo 
 extinct. Witness none other than CBS News’ “60 Minutes,” the most popular television newsmagazine of all time, threatened by the sitting president
