It’s about time someone said it out loud on a national news show.
Major Gen. Paul Eaton (ret.) — on Trump’s interest in putting boots on the ground:
“We have a situation where someone called a malignant narcissist is unfortunately drifting into a state of dementia that is difficult to manage.”
When economists say the president can't really do much to change prices, what they mean is he can't do much to *lower* prices.
Again. This matters.
y'all goofy. vaccines work.

A 1944 map by geologist Harold Fisk charts a 40-mile stretch of the Mississippi River from Friars Point to Gunnison, Mississippi.

It’s a bunch of anti social 20 something’s who stole or fell backward into a business model, largely reliant on the novelty of doing xyz familiar activity but on the computer, and then retroactively wrote utopian mission statements so they could treat employees like slaves and customers like animals

Before and after in #Paris, surface gas station in front of a residential building, converted into green space.
Imagine if your city did urban transformations like this. The 18th arrondissement of Paris, before and after, 2020 to 2024. Think about how that neighbourhood would feel after this change. How YOUR neighbourhood would feel.
It can happen. Just takes vision & leadership.

Summary of recent HHS departures:

They do it right. I have faith in Brad Bird and his team. I'm in.
“A DOJ source told the Miami Herald that agents found her to be credible—and that they would not have interviewed her four times if they thought she was lying.”

Never forget that the U.S. can always find money for war, but not for education, health care, or to help those in need. This is 100% a choice. And it is 100% the wrong one. www.csis.org/analysis/37-...

Subpoena all of it. And him, too. The FBI found this witness credible enough to interview her four times. Enough with this cover up.
I hate all of the stolen art shirt/print companies out there (and how accurately they target me 💀💀💀
