Middle Eastern music and Islamic music and art heavily transformed culture. Rubio could've mentioned these important influences.

France has confirmed that a special prosecutorial team will review the Epstein files.
More countries should be doing the same. ๐
Regulations are what keeps ordinary Americans healthy and, often, alive.
It took spoiled meat and rodent droppings out of our food. It took harmful lead out of our gasoline and paint. It took poison out of our water.
Deregulation only achieves one goal: making rich corporations richer.

On what planet would a White House official say out loud, of prosecuting the presidentโs political enemies, that โwhen thereโs an opportunity, he will go for itโ? Or that Russell Vought, the director of the Office of Management and Budget, is a โright-wing absolute zealotโ? Or that Mr. Vanceโs 180-degree conversion to Trumpism was โsort of politicalโ? As I discovered, this is the way true believers talk in Mr. Trumpโs West Wing. I donโt think Ms. Wiles knew that her comments, outside the White House, would explode like bombs. They were confirmation of an old Washington maxim: The definition of a gaffe is when a powerful official accidentally tells the truth.
Chris Whipple said something in a NYT op-ed the other day that accords what I took away from his Vanity Fair profile of Susie Wiles. The reason she said so many batshit things to him is she doesn't understand that normies will recognize them as batshit.
