CBS reporter Scott Pelley:

This is a warning that I fear many will look back on in five or six years and think β€œhe was so right”.

If you haven’t already shared this, please do.

This should be the end of Noem’s career in public life. It almost certainly won’t be, however, which is itself damning.

Here's the changelog for Pixelmator Pro. You can see when Apple purchased it... and what happened to the changelog since then.

Trump White House Won’t Respond to Some Journalists Who Display Their Pronouns (Gift Article) Some Trump administration officials have declined to answer questions from several journalists on the basis of their email signatures.

This administration is ridiculously petty, and stupid.

β€œAs a matter of policy, we do not respond to reporters with pronouns in their bios,” Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, wrote to a New York Times reporter.

Do you think he knows what he's saying is ridiculous and just not care, or does he not have a clue?

I feel pretty confident saying that more thought went into deciding what kind of wet cat food to buy for our new cat Oliver than Trump's team collectively put into formulating these tariffs.

From Trump's order on tariffs: "He is the first President in modern history to stand strong for hardworking Americans by asking other countries to follow the golden rule on trade: Treat us like we treat you."

Sounds good, but reads differently when you look at how they calculated the new tariffs.
