NewWire tweets: "Americans set to pay more for cars, coffee, adn clothing as average U.S. tariff rate jumps to high not seen since Great Depression — WaPo"

Always the standard pivot. A pedophile is a pedophile regardless of political affiliation. This raccoon-eyed ghoul should be calling for a full, unredacted release of the files.

Dinner in Espinho yesterday. Sunset was ridiculous.

What's it like to have Frank Lloyd Wright design your house? This 101-year-old knows Roland Reisley is the last original client of Frank Lloyd Wright, still living in the Usonian home designed by the famed architect. Even after 73 years, he told NPR, he still marvels at the beauty of ...

A man standing on what appears to be a balcony of his home.

The man's living room. There's a couch, coffee table, and foot stool, as well as some tall windows. Lots of wood.

Another living space with a fireplace and bookshelf. Possibly a compression hallway leading to this room.

The outside of the home.

Incredible.

Roland Reisley is 101 years old, the last original client of Frank Lloyd Wright. He still lives in the 3,200 square foot home that Wright built for him in 1952.

Oh, I think every man thinks about driving for their lives. Problem is they drive that same way going to work. America has horrific, verging on negligent driver training because the objective is to create more drivers to sell more cars. And when they run someone down the law protects them.

I always wrote in one take. Just sat down and started typing. When I hit length and it was time to end it, that was that. Like Sinatra. One shot at whatever your best was. "First word, best word" as a very smart editor one told me. Let you sound like you.

CDC employees told me the shooting at CDC was much worse than initial police reports suggested. More than 40 bullets hit buildings. “It’s a miracle more people weren’t hit,” said one staffer who was locked down in a building for hours last evening.

You already know what you want to say. The more you think about it the more you get in your own way. Just write that shit.

The replies to this make it clear that Americans have no idea how to drive. "I have to speed! Shut up!"

By the by the other tech I would love to see is a set of lights that activete in the presence of a cellular signal, to make it easy to identify the people using mobiles while driving.

They must not anger Trump while he’s busy selling them out to Putin.

Here’s the notice terminating EPA union contracts:

Especially like this, because ... damn.

TF?

Even better, don't go. People would always say to me, "I am inviting you but I know you won't come, so ... " Work time is work time, my time is my time which I don't want to spend with work people.

Nothing to do with performance or merit: purged from the military because of their identity and then robbed of the retirement they worked for.

Please read this from FCC Commissioner @agomezfcc.bsky.social to understand what is about to happen at CBS. The network’s content will now be fully-controlled by the Trump Administration.

Among other things, Katsas and Rao's opinions foreshadow how these two will run interference for Trump if Democrats take the House in 2026 and try to investigate the executive branch. They start from the premise that Trump is a king and work backward from there.

It really is astonishing how much two horrible men, both acting to keep themselves out of prison, have changed the state of the world as we know it.

I have instructed our Department of Commerce to immediately begin work on a new and highly accurate CENSUS based on modern day facts and figures and, importantly, using the results and information gained from the Presidential Election of 2024. People who are in our Country illegally WILL NOT BE COUNTED IN THE CENSUS. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

BREAKING: With #2030Census prep already underway, President Trump says he's instructed Commerce Dept to "immediately begin work" on a "new" census that excludes people living in the states without legal status from a count the 14th Amendment says must include “whole number of persons in each state”
