Trump's team is so sloppy! There's a misspelling in the new initiative. Fixed it!
Nuance and Whisky Pete?
The first steam-powered passenger rail trip was on 27th Sept 1825 (200th bday is nuanced - regular passenger steam slightly later). Here's transport carbon footprint today - Eurostar easily cleanest cos fully electrified. I hope the next 200 yrs has even more (electric) trains! With lower prices...
"Best friends forever"?
Trump doesn't have friends. His relationships are strictly transactional. So the obvious question is - what were the nature of the transactions he so cherished Epstein for? What was it that the sex trafficer traded in that Trump made such an investment to receive?
Market-based Armageddon.
Trump and Epstein were friends? He served a purpose for Trump. What purpose?
"Anybody that tells you they’re friends with Donald Trump is misjudging the relationship. He has no friends. You might interact with him, but he’s so transactional that you’re actually not his friend." - Anthony Scaramucci
Don't worry! Next time, there will be no warnings. Oh, and since that might make people upset, there will be no reporting about it either.
Time to excommunicate JD along with the rightwing Catholic cabal on SCOTUS.
Please note that Trump will NOT be seeking his usual retribution for this "disloyalty." The one free "no" vote was gifted to Collins to support her reelection bid next year. She is indebted now for that and eager to please.
Watch for is the lack of threats of retribution from Trump. They gifted this to Collins to help her reelection bid next year. She is eternally grateful and eager to repay her debt.
Explain the Big Ugly budget bill to me like I’m five…
Seriously, this demo is a must see—anyone can understand it.
Share it with family and friends.

Exactly. Few know Collins’ MO better.
"Usha Vance represents a new era of political spouses—intelligent, relatable, and unafraid to embrace both tradition and modernity."
Guess they never heard of Eleanor Roosevelt.
Are they suggesting that Melanoma is neither intelligent nor relatable?
Consider the source.
I have no doubt about the possibilities for healthy interfaith relationships.
The question is - what is the guidestar for people who make changes in what for most are unwaivering, fundamental and foundational convictions?
Then, this interfaith couple in Washington DC. Usha Vance, "onetime Democrat and the daughter of immigrants," is now "living a radically different life." She's a Hindu who, among other things, supported her spouse's conversion to Catholicism. Where will their changing convictions take them - and us?
Two different portraits of diversity in the USA. First, Rama Duwaji, the lesser-known spouse of Zohran Mamdani. This newlywed Muslim couple is now the toast of NYC. They are the embodiment of progressive sensibilities in the emerging generation determined to live their values.

When this is all over and done with, this character is sure to seek clemency in the truth and reconciliation commission to restore our national integrity.
But there is no way to redeem him.
But buried beneath the fold... 4/4
Part of some master plan! 3/4
The great leader! 2/4
The cheerleading in the New York Times is absurd. Trump! Brilliant! Carefully calculated! 1/4
Easy to grab hostages in the USA. Just dress up as ICE bodysnatchers.
Orwellian spin - war is peace:
"...a reactive approach in the Middle East can now be transformed into a proactive vision: one that curbs Iran’s malign ambitions and efforts, stabilizes Gaza and lays the foundation for a new Middle Eastern order built on security, integration and peaceful relations."
AOC: “It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.”
