“CFA Events has teamed up with businessman, television personality, philanthropist and Chicago’s own Marcus Lemonis for a multi-year sponsorship of the Chicago Thanksgiving Parade. As part of the Camping World Holdings family, the leading outdoor and camping retailer, the title sponsorship will be held by Uncle Dan’s Outdoor Store, a specialty retailer of outdoor gear, apparel and camping supplies.
“The Uncle Dan’s Thanksgiving Day Parade will be broadcast live nationally on WGN America and in Chicagoland on WGN9.”

“A lawsuit seeking class-action status accuses Camping World Holdings and certain company officials, including Chairman and CEO Marcus Lemonis, of misrepresenting the company’s financials while they sold more than $530 million in Camping World shares.”

Just seeing if you still exist. I suspect most of your sign-in attempts these days are unexpected.

Me:
I nominate myself. My platform is to go the next 100 years without mentioning Route 66, unless it involves an Elon Musk hyperloop. Then only in ridicule.

Neo-nazi Daily Stormer declares (again) that Donald Trump is their guy. https://t.co/wgCZYM3yXW

And the Republican Party is now the Trump Party. Therefore, the Republican Party is now the White Nationalist Party. Also known as the Neo-Nazi Party. A moment of truth has arrived and the masks have come off. Please remember which side everyone is on and hold them to account – forever.

Trump is running a midterm campaign based on stoking racial divisions and fear of immigrants, and in some cases the GOP is making open appeals to racism @AsteadWesley & me, w/@llerer @elizabethjdias @jwpetersNYT >>https://t.co/oSPncMl3ti

All lies, all the time. My story on Trump’s midterms strategy of making things up to scare people, especially about Democrats and dark-skinned foreigners: https://t.co/YtVAob2gxd

I’ve fact-checked every word Trump has uttered for two full years. This is one of his most dishonest weeks in political life. He’s lying about so many different things at once, and in big ways — not exaggerating or stretching, completely making stuff up. https://t.co/XrgPbUIcZ1

So much lying. At least four journalists travelling with the caravan have said they’ve seen nobody from the Middle East or heard of anybody from the Middle East. This is nonsense piled upon nonsense, Muslim fearmongering piled upon Latino fearmongering. https://t.co/XjF0zPyeKm
