CNN —Arnold Schwarzenegger, the former Republican governor of California, said Wednesday he will be voting for Vice President Kamala Harris and Gov. That’s why, this week, I am voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz,” Schwarzenegger said in a post on X. Following the January 6, 2021, insurrection, Schwarzenegger said Trump would be remembered as the worst president in US history and urged unity among Americans. The feud between the two stretches back to Trump’s first term, after Schwarzenegger took over the former president’s prized show, “The Celebrity Apprentice,” in 2015. Trump mocked the show, titled “The New Celebrity Apprentice,” for low ratings in 2017, and Schwarzenegger responded: “Hey Donald, I have a great idea.

Despite a difficult quarter, McDonald’s looks resilient in the face of various pressures, analysts say — something the company shares with U.S. consumers overall. “The spotlight is always on McDonald’s because it’s so big” and something of a “bellwether,” she said. That spurred former President Donald Trump to sling fries this month at a Philadelphia-area McDonald’s in a photo op. Like many major brands, McDonald’s raked in big profits as the economy reopened from the pandemic. “The thing that McDonald’s had struggled with, and why I think we’re seeing kind of an inflection point, is a value proposition,” Senatore said.

Election advertisements are overseen by a different agency, the Federal Elections Commission, which lacks a similar disclosure rule for individuals who are paid to make endorsements on social media.

This research included analysis by paper conservators who found that the paper and ink match those that Chopin normally used. The discovery of an unknown piece of work by Chopin has not happened since the late 1930s, according to the museum.

About three weeks after Elon Musk bought Twitter in October 2022, #RIPTwitter started trending.
