She did cave in to threats of being primaried rather than find a backbone. Her informing us we all die shows she appears not to care overall. Since she's not seeking re-election in 2026, hope someone more like Tammy Duckworth could replace her.

When Trump mentions refund/dividend check we should continuously inundate the GOP Reps & Senators with calls, emails asking when they'll arrive. Same with promised lower food, energy, etc prices, replacement of ACA, and Epstein files. Will they call out his bluff? We'll see what happens - or not.

And Trump just granted Hungary a one-year exemption from U.S. sanctions related to purchases of Russian oil and gas. Is this an attempt to help Orban, who is facing elections in 2026?

Miracle Mile is in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and Coral Gables. Magnificent Mile in Chicago. Does more than one location starting with "M" confuse him? He does have a propensity to relabel places on maps (glad he doesn't do the layouts for the Auto Club). Sending the troops on a snipe hunt, is he?

By appearance, he will corrupt anything he can get his tentacles into that will serve some purpose for him. Been his way of going for a long time since he was mentored by Roy Cohn. More widely destructive in government than being contained to businesses.

In mental health, it expanded & provided consistency of medications. For both mental health & addictions it broadens options for more effective treatment & better outcomes. For other preexisting conditions, some were so arbitrary: if insured, there were caps on treatment and rates were ridiculous

Another case of not a national priority. Someone should publish the tax payer $ amount of all his past/continuing lawsuits, investigations, court cases involving individuals, groups, institutions, etc. Personal animosities should be funded from his pocket, not ours and filed after vacating office.

Agree. Whether Schumer's ideas/explanations are good or not, watching him speak is uninspiring & a possible cure for insomnia. We were once young, altruistic, and on fire. His flame has burned out. Time for him to pass the torch. For an old white guy, I like Bernie's presentation though.

Jackie Kennedy did a meticulous, accurate restoration of the White House and tragic to see it being erased. Refinements, personalization is expected with each resident. IMO this redo is gross (looks like an advertisement out of a magazine) and disrespectful of a heritage site.

Meanwhile...The Nuclear Security Administration staff was cut by DOGE. About 1,400 furloughed & fewer than 400 employees remain on the job to safeguard the stockpile. Now the dude wants to test just to show off? Yes, unhinged but maybe appears to be stuck on stupid too?

Does appear speculative. Trump said he's given CIA permission for covert opps ๐คข He recklessly can blew cover in the region for who were, are, or will be there and their sources.

True (we have lower IQs, right) I liked watching Angela Merkel's facial expressions when she was listening to or around him. He's a gross equal opportunity degrading, name calling, mocking, culturally ignorant (how well an African leader coming from an English speaking country speaks English) dolt.

He blocked the bipartisan border security bill in 2024. Plus important others continuing to now. The voters / taxpayers deserve to know what's in them, discussed, adapted, and voted on. Plays dumb, ignorant, uninformed when questioned. A box of rocks could do better. Hoping for change in '26.

Heads of state have aids travel with them. They brief them on correct protocols and are nearby to guide, insure correct names & positions of attendees, etc. Does he ignore direction, doesn't care, zones out; who knows. We've seen similar behavior with Queen Elizabeth and at other formal events.

I appreciate Christiane Amanpour interviews. Able to view channels from Europe + others. Discussions of US/world are more fact based, less speculation, interesting, intellectual. By missing relevant US & world events that affect all of us, US news corps keeps us ignorant & political ratings focused

I don't either, especially since the signup is based on a phone number. Most places have them and I don't want to sort through a batch of cards at the checkout. I never use QR codes or type in card PIN number to pay. I suspect we pay the cost of these "amenities" somewhere in our purchases.

Commodore Hotel opened 1919 next to Grand Central Station; top hotel, favored by tourists, locals and celebrities. Trump Org bought the hotel, completely remodeled & opened 1980 into the vulgar, shiny thing it is today. Stained glass window was promised to historical preservation. Where did it go?

Truman for structural integrity as it was falling apart (floor broke under the weight of a 2nd story piano) Equipment was disassembled & reassembled inside to not damage the exterior. Past changes were in the open and approved. Why are Mrs. Kennedy's historically correct renovations never mentioned?

Had to come down before anyone tried to stop him. Usually, historical properties are dismantled and salvage used for repairs or in other historic houses / buildings to preserve original design features.

Maybe. Time is in his side doing it this way without warning notice or announcement. An effective lawsuit would take more days/weeks to be written and presented in court.

Because reporters aren't doing their jobs? Refusal to provide info to them when asked? Edited out of news casts? The ball gets dropped too often regarding many questions and concerns it seems.
