Narrator: None of his aides had the guts to tell him Spain is in the EU and he couldn't just cut off trade, nor that the Supreme Court hadn't given him any right like that.
Screenshot of an X post by Acyn quoting Trump saying he could cut off all trade with Spain and impose embargoes. Below is a TV still of Trump speaking in an ornate White House room during an interview.

Muppets Christmas Carol is the best Christmas movie bc it includes a song with the lyrics, "your future is a horror story written by your crimes" & nothing says Christmas cheer more than that. Also Michael Caine deserved all the awards for that performance. Perfection. No notes.

On Oct. 23, 1958, the most severe underground seismic event in North American mining history occurred in Springhill, Nova Scotia. The disaster killed 75 miners and injured residents. But...deep in the mine some survivors were waiting to be rescued. This is the story. 🧵 1/10

Staying active is known to bring a wide range of health benefits. But many people in their 60s, 70s and beyond may struggle for a variety of reasons to maintain the step count they used to reach. Until now it has been unclear how much people need to do as they age to reap the rewards. Continue reading...

On this day in 1904, Tommy Douglas was born. From 1944 to 1961, he was the Premier of Saskatchewan. Among his accomplishments was creating North America's first single-payer universal healthcare program. He led the federal NDP from 1961 to 1971.
