The Cole was bombed in 2000.

Jeff Bezos’s wealth has increased an average of $70 million every day of 2026, meaning that he could have offset The Post’s losses with what he’s made since Monday.

They were so preoccupied with whether they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.

An Ishtar-level calamity

The Lincoln Memorial is IMO the sacred temple of our democracy. Civic blasphemy.

The first professional police force in the US began in 1838 in Boston. In 1854 only three cities had police forces: NYC, Philly, and Boston.

"Well there are certain sections of New York, Major, that I wouldn't advise you to try to invade." (All the better that a few beats later is "Are my eyes really brown?")

Well, I have hit the wall. I do not want to be a “political communication” scholar anymore.

"Sovereign state" is doing a lot of work in this statement from China. Taiwan is less secure today because of what the US did.

"No no don't worry - I got a great answer on the turkey question this time"

And once again, the full answer is even worse than you imagine it's going to be.
