Trump didn't even have enough respect for the Christian nationalist rally on the Mall to give them a new video. Instead, he re-ran the one he used April 22 for the separate America Reads the Bible event. Too busy with the ballroom and the arch, apparently. Here's the video they played today. 1/2🧵

“Kentucky is sitting on roughly 16.1 million barrels of bourbon—the equivalent of around 300 million cases—according to the Kentucky Distillers’ Association. That’s the largest reserve ever, enough to last as much as 10 years, according to industry estimates.” www.wsj.com/business/ret...

The World Is Awash in Bourbon. That’s a Problem for Big Booze.
Distillers that added capacity during the pandemic are facing a hangover as more Americans join the ranks of the sober-curious.

So there Kennedy was in early May, crisscrossing a strip of northern Ohio that includes one of the few congressional districts that Republicans are confident they can flip in November, rotating through a wardrobe of blue suits and blue jeans.

He inspected the kitchen of a Toledo daycare center, where hundreds of the city’s tiniest residents learn and play through the federally funded Head Start program. Under the careful watch of a surgeon, and with the machine disconnected, Kennedy briefly tested the teaching console of the renowned Cleveland Clinic’s robotic hands with a live patient splayed open for heart surgery in the room. And he munched on pesticide-free squash blossoms from a 400-acre farm.

modern rainbow pride flag with the inclusive intersex, trans and blank n brown stripe.

Each color is a different piece of fabric quilted together. Every piece except for red and purple is a patterned fabric scrap, some minimal pops of neon paint are color washed in the edges of fabric sewn together.
Most have floral patterns or circular abstract, plaid, one blue strip has Simba from Disney Lion King from a 90s pair of pants.

celebrate America's monumental triunph over tyranny and evil in Surope, led by the might of our Arned Forces and those of our Allies. On May 8, 1945, the iron grip of Nazi Germany shattered, and news of victory swept across our great Nation and the world, marking a decisive turning point in the history of freedom.
Fron the legendary storming of the beaches of Normandy to the frigid, hard-fought defense during the Battle of the Bulge, the courage of countless Anerican soldiers carried the Allied cause across the deserts of North Africa and the foresto of
vestern Europe until the forces of the lazi regine collapsed in ruin.
Their sacrifice, together with the unvavering resolve of
millions of men and wonen on the home front, drove tyranny to its knees and paved the way for the Allied powers to secure their resounding victory against Imperial Japan nearly 4 months later.
The fight for liberty came at a staggering cost. More than
250,000 Americans laid down their lives in the fight against the Nazi regime. Their heroic sacrifice reminds us that the sacred freedoms we cherish are forged in sacrifice and must be fiercely defended both at home and abroad. Let us remember them, and the millions of innocent souls who endured horrendous atrocities.
ne by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim May 8, 2026, as a day in celebration of Victory Day for World War I
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this seventh day of May, in the year of our Lord two thousand twenty-six, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and fiftieth.

You do not hate the DOGE people enough. Boys with toys breaking things they were too arrogant and lazy to understand.
Because the inquiry was framed only in terms of whether a project "relate[d] at all to DEI" (whatever that might mean to ChatGPT), projects whose abbreviated descriptions contained general references to "history," "culture," or "identity" were frequently identified by ChatGPT as relating to DEI. For example, a project to recover and analyze ancient writings attributed to Moses but excluded from the canonical Hebrew Bible and preserved in fragmentary form (e.g., the Book of Jubilees and the Testament of Moses) was classified as DEI because it claimed to "provide important insight into Jewish thought from two thousand years ago, complementary to insight from the Dead Sea Scrolls and the New Testament." Dkt. No. 248-11, at 99, C461-1461 (emphasis added). The project description reflects a highly technical effort involving multispectral imaging,
textual reconstruction, and the recovery of deteriorated source materials. Id. Yet, the assigned
rationale consists of a single sentence linking the project to "Jewish thought," which ChatGPT
considered to be aligned with "DEI" goals. Id.
