Wow — listen to these new comments from Trump. Thanking Putin, trashing Zelenskyy, characterizing Russia as eager for peace and Ukraine as intransigent. The mask is totally off.

Best time of the year, especially when training for a fall marathon. Way to go! I hope you at least tried a bite of your daughter's pumpkin fish bagel - she might have something good there.

My entire life I've heard centrists scolding leftist candidates with "oh, but how will we pay for all that? isn't your agenda unreasonable? shouldn't we run on a modest proposal for means-tested tax rebates?" Then Mamdani gets elected and makes it all look pretty easy. No wonder they hate him.

Steady run and you kept it together for the last few miles, well done! Good job getting your body accustomed to consuming quantities of water & carbs on a long run. Body soreness sucks but to be expected with a 50/20 week. Getting closer, getting better!

Excellent performance! You are right to give top priority to hydration. Crazy conditions, don't worry about pace numbers. You got it done! Welcome to Club Psycho (Marathon Training Group). Your life will never be the same. I hope that you are eating the world today.

Excellent article with many great details about a hotel team's response to a moment of chaos. Shows us a different side of the riders too.

Your daily reminder that Trump alone cannot destroy our system of free and fair elections. The Republican Party is actively fueling his lies about rigged elections.

historians are divided on whether trump was actually a real person, or the stories of a large series of petty tyrants over a period of perhaps 100 years whose stories got merged and blended together back when AI was unsophisticated and new

Ossoff: The president has been humiliated on the world stage. Many Americans are increasingly concerned about his stability and his capacity for the office. It’s deeply distressing to Americans to see a president so incompetent attempting and failing to represent the nation.
