The headline, the main takeaway from a European viewpoint is this:
The transatlantic relationship as we know it is over. Yes, we kinda knew this. But this is now official US White House policy. Not a sppech, not a statement. The West as it used to be no longer exists.

I think Columbus should go all in on “Arch City”. Add more arches across the city. Bring back trolley buses/trams that utilize the arches. 🚎

You do not, under any circumstances, have to hand it to Donald Trump.
Jeffries: "The border is secure. That's a good thing. It happened on his watch. He wants to claim credit for it, of course he'll get credit for that. In terms of making sure that we actually deal with the issues that matter, including on immigration, there's a lot that's left to be desired."

I tried to respond to this, but the one, the most cutting Onion, actually makes you fucking cry like a goddamned onion Onion headline ... I just couldn't do it.
What is the quintessential Onion headline? The strong contender that just randomly popped in my mind is "Hank Williams Jr. Honored by Institute For Football Preparedness"

Just a reminder, as Trump disparages and threatens a community that has given so much to ours, Columbus has one of the largest Somali-American communities in the US and your neighbors may need your support.

NGOs are fundamentally libertarian solution to problems that should usually be handled by large, impersonal government agencies mostly staffed by people who are competent but don't "care" *too* much.
I would argue pretty strenuously that overreliance on nonprofits for social services is, in fact, a centrist position at best. NGO world cloaks itself in progressivism by adhering to cultural signifiers of social justice. Endless land acknowledgements as they take public jobs from union workers.

One of my former neighbors has passed.
It's with heavy hearts that we share that Claude, our beloved albino alligator, has passed away at the age of 30. Claude brought joy to millions of people at the Academy and across the world during his 17 year tenure. We will miss him dearly. 🤍
