🐘 Trump Talks Taxes in Vegas
Donald Trump is safe after shots were fired outside his Florida golf course Sunday. A suspect was arrested in what the secret service describes as a failed assassination attempt. No one was injured.
- The incident came two days after Trump made a Las Vegas appearance at World Market Center. I was hoping he’d reveal a showroom with an all-new Make Ottomans Great Again furniture line, but the former president held a rally instead, pushing no taxes on tips, overtime, or social security. Nothing about migrants eating pets. [Las Vegas Review-Journal]
- The Culinary union has thoughts on taxing tips. [City Cast Las Vegas 🎧]

👀 The lion statue is outside the south Stripside entrance to the Fontainebleau, where KYU welcomes guests for wood-fired meats and vegetables.
