Before calling someone a “dirtbag,” the Senator should have had his facts straight. An apology is in order. Glad one of us knew the difference between the Atlanta Hawks and the Iowa Hawkeyes!

tell me the summit accomplished jack shit without telling me the summit accomplished jack shit
Very productive meeting with President Xi for both the U.S.A. and China. Tremendous things will be happening. Like almost everyone else, he seemed to like calling the poorly and inaccurately named Artificial Intelligence to a far more accurate and important name, SUPER INTELLIGENCE. That would be “SUPER!” Everyone last night agreed, also. President DJT

NYT has now independently corroborated all the major allegations against Susan Collins in the ProPublica report, including that investigators were prepared to move against her and then Trump intervened to shut it down. This put Trump in a position of exceptional and extortionate leverage over her.

F.B.I. Shut Down Inquiry Into Top Ally of Senator Susan Collins
The inquiry was closed last year because senior bureau officials questioned the veracity of a campaign donor’s account, according to current and former officials.

The Postcards memorial honors the 274 Staten Island residents who were killed in the horrific terror attacks of September 11, 2001.

Their names and birthdays are preserved here forever. Their profiles are carved into granite, each one facing toward Ground Zero.

It is a solemn reminder that behind every name was a whole life. A person with family who loved them and a future they should have had.

25 years later, we remember not only the unimaginable pain our city endured, but every person who never came home and every family that has carried that loss ever since.

I was honored to stand with those families and Staten Island leaders today to remember what this community lost. We will Never Forget.

9/11 was traumatic for all Americans. But the U.S. and other governments panicked, and took their eyes off a lot of other threats for a while. We’re still living with the consequences of that panic. My look back at that day and what it brought: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Welp, there it is. The CDC is now officially manipulating data and their count of measles deaths in 2026 now stands at ZERO. My understanding of reportable diseases is that the CDC would usually use a state health department’s determination as the final say. The new CDC Director is failing us.
