Maybe , right? She’s playing terrific this week but she also didn’t face a formidable challenger. It might be hard for her to win 7 straight matches in 2 weeks against the top seeds. What do you think? πŸ€”

Before they added Trump’s name to the Epstein files but never bothered to release them to the public before the 2024 elections

Can you imagine compelling NBA teams not to sign international players so they don’t displace β€œAmerican talent”? That’s how stupid the Trump regime request is.

A healthy Muchova is a top-5 if not top-3 player in the world.

Thread of research relying on world-renowned data produced by the Bureau of Labor Statistics

Even if you think Trump is not yet a dictator, today made it abundantly clear that at least he thinks he is.

Maybe, just maybe, the guy lying about the job report being rigged, was also lying about the 2020 elections being rigged.

Dr. Erika McEntarfer has devoted her career to public service. She has conducted herself as BLS Commissioner with great integrity. There is no evidence whatsoever that BLS data are politically biased.

It is. She’s been so close in past few tournaments with painfully close loses. Great to see her play with more confidence.

Sure, fine, as a temporary solution. The one thing that 100% won't work and be even more illegitimate is direct control of Israel.

It's nothing less than astounding how the party of "free market" and "get gov out of the way" morphed into "the president dictates prices at whim".

I beg to differ. Voters don't care about the specifics - and few know what PR or term limits mean - but many were attracted to Trump's promise to fix institutions that don't work, while Democrats came across as protectors of a status quo that voters instinctively dislike.

Trump does shit every day that should get him impeached. But illegally punishing an entire country β€” and any Americans who use products or do businesses with anyone in Brazil β€” because it’s prosecuting its former president for attempting a violent coup is among the worst things he has done.

Goal post keeps moving:

There's no hunger in Gaza.

There's hunger, but no deliberate starvation.

There might be starvation, but that's just because Hamas won't release the hostages.
