The funniest thing about Erik Schmitt thing isn't that he flew into a mountain, it's that his ultimate plan was to fly into a smaller mountain.

In 2024, the US imported ~12 million metric tons of potassic fertilizers from Canada (hillnotes.ca/2025/06/05/p...) Specialized ships can carry ~60k metric tons, tho container ships <half that (www.sasktoday.ca/central/loca...) So we'd need at least 200 ships loaded from [checks notes] Belarus

The Qatari bribe plane and the Iran war prove Trump is a shitty Djin. A bribe gets you a wish, but he'll do a cursed, half-assed job of it.

For all the talk about Abdul being a poor fit somehow for Michigan you rarely see people posit that a carpetbagger election denialist who spent 20 years to the exact date begging for a war with Iran only to finally get it and have the economy explode might be a pretty weak opponent

HUGE NEWS: A federal judge just permanently blocked Trump’s attempts to politicize food assistance. Oregon DOJ led this multistate lawsuit, which also protects food assistance for lawful permanent residents. #orpol #breakingnews

AG Rayfield permanently blocks Trump’s SNAP penalties

Today, a federal judge permanently blocked the Trump administration from penalizing states, including Oregon, with steep fines tied to their administration of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). The judge also struck down the administration’s attempts to restrict food access for lawful permanent residents.

“Since the beginning of Trump’s second term, we’ve all watched his administration play games with emergency food assistance,” said Attorney General Rayfield. “This is about parents’ ability to feed their kids, and partisan politics shouldn’t have any part in it. The court’s ruling means that Oregon will continue to effectively manage the SNAP program, and our vulnerable neighbors will get the food they need.”

Donald Jr. and Bettina Trump confirmed Umar Kremlev’s role in a post on Bettina's Instagram: “Our dear friend Umar very generously hosted two incredible nights of celebrations for us,” they wrote. “Friendship doesn’t require a political motive.” www.instagram.com/p/DdRVuhhGxFy/

Screenshot of Instagram post caption: Apparently our wedding is making headlines again, so a little clarity seems in order.

Don and I got married privately on Friday, surrounded ONLY by our family. It was intimate, deeply personal and one of the most beautiful days of our lives.

The weekend that followed had actually been planned well in advance as a fun weekend with friends. It was never intended to be our wedding weekend. When our original wedding plans changed, we simply decided to get married before it and arrived at an already planned weekend as newlyweds.

Our dear friend Umar very generously hosted two incredible nights of celebrations for us AFTER our wedding. It was an extraordinarily generous wedding gift from a friend, and something for which we were and remain incredibly grateful.

It’s unfortunate that something so personal and happy can be recast as something political or sinister simply because of who someone is or where they come from. Friendship doesn’t require a political motive. Generosity doesn’t automatically come with an agenda. And sometimes a wedding gift is simply a wedding gift.

We are fortunate to have wonderful friends from all over the world, and we will never be embarrassed or apologetic about being grateful for them.

So, for anyone determined not to let the facts get in the way of a good story: NO CONSPIRACY , NO MYSTERY. Just a private family wedding, a wonderful weekend with friends and one hell of a party❣️
And since fake news travels fast, we figured the truth deserved a few pictures
With love and gratitude,
Don & Bettina

Yikes, if this is accurate, its basically the owner class using their power to shut down dissent. The Patriots Robert Kraft told Sheerhan his concert would be cancelled if Mackelmore stayed on the your, and that other stadium owners would follow suit.

So it would appear that the White House has banned the importation of Crown Royal, Canadian Club, and all other Canadian whiskeys/scotches. Stock up if they're one of your favorite brands, because the U.S. might not get any new supply for the next couple years...

A picture of Canadian Whiskeys from the Wikipedia page "Canadian Whiskey." It shows, left to right, bottles of R&R (Rich & Rare), Pendleton, Seagram's VO Gold, Crown Royal, Wiser's Very Old, Canadian Club, and Black Velvet.

Dolly Parton rose from poverty to stardom. She gave $500 to every student in her hometown who finished high school; she built hospitals & bald eagle preserves; her Imagination Library has gifted 300 million books to children. Roger Ebert met her and came away thinking she was a literal angel. RIP.

“In Dallas for the premier of '9 to 5', I had an uncanny experience, and on the plane home to Chicago I confessed it to Siskel: I had been granted a private half hour with Dolly Parton, and as we spoke I was filled with a strange ethereal grace. This was not spiritual, nor was it sexual. It was healing and comforting. Gene listened and said, "Roger, I felt the exact same thing during my interview with her." We looked at each other. What did this mean? Neither one of us ever felt that feeling again. From time to time we would refer to it in wonder.”
