Got some book recommendations, went to my library site to check them out, all of them had waiting lists. I always think it's a good sign when a book recommendations has a library wait list

Trump's insecurities about Mamdani will soon surpass his insecurities about Obama and while Trump already seems to be prepping an attack on/ICE invasion of NYC as a result, I genuinely think it may spectacularly backfire IN PART bc other Americans are being reminded that they too actually love NYC.

As a reminder for everyone saying, "The US had never before scored four goals in a World Cup" that they mean the men's team had never before scored that many. The women's team has absolutely scored more than four goals in a world cup, including in the final. And they also wins things.

How long it takes and how hard it is to undo the damage will depend in large part on the political will of the people elected to do it. If you get hand-wringing caveat peddlers who want to deliberate for years before acting it'll never happen. Plan has to be ready on day one
"Why's it taking so long to take down the name when they put it up so fast?" yeah, undoing every single thing he's done is gonna be exactly like that, get used to it
