Yes! This is what's wrong with so much of billionaire philanthropy.

If something is genuinely worth our doing as a society, we should do so through the actions of our government, not the whims of an unaccountable, publicity-seeking billionaire.

Because populism.

Obviously, it was the fault of the people who invested money with David Gentile.

Is it too early to call it a pattern?

Caution: pedantry ahead.

I think that's Fraktur, a typeface still in use in German speaking countries in the first half of the 20th century. Hitler disliked it, and the Nazis replaced it with the chunkier Antiqua font in 1941.

So, evocative, but also inaccurate. Par for Trump Deux.

This year, I am thankful for the new alliances that are forming, and for the fact that we can so easily wound this big turkey's feelings.

(And for friends, family, children, health, daffodils in spring, and so many other things).

"...in the age of President Donald Trump’s promised nuclear revival, shareholders and backers see connections to the White House as the road to profitability"

Who said the American Dream is dead? It's working great for GOP politicians & megadonors.

Kilowatts or connections? Trump’s favored nuclear start-ups soar to riches.
Founders of politically connected nuclear companies that have never built commercial reactors are becoming billionaires.

This illustrates perfectly what's wrong with the US healthcare system: huge corporate bureaucracies that prioritize profit margins over patient care to boost the company's stock price & CXO incomes.

I also think they're setting themselves up for future trouble. Promising to bring down the cost of living is one thing. But achieving it in time for reelection, and doing so w/o upsetting some key constituents, is entirely another.

On the one hand, Thomson Reuters is selling data to ICE to help harass immigrants.

On the other hand, they publish some genuinely valuable coverage of Trump & co.
New: Reuters has tallied job losses, suspensions and investigations stemming from the reaction to Charlie Kirk's Sept. 10 assassination. Its findings: More than 600 Americans have been punished, and the figure is likely to be an under-count.

Let's start with a student describing her segregated school:

"The school felt temporary. Built like a warehouse with aluminum siding . . . I had a slipshod education"

The twist? The student is white, and her school is private.

Yes! Reps are holding millions of Americans hostage to ram through a budget many of their own voters wouldn't support.

Now Dems are being told to concede, in exchange for a few (short term) beans.

Vote No!

Senator Alsobrooks, where do you stand on the funding bill?

I’ve voted 7 times to reopen the government in a way that holds Trump accountable for his lawlessness and prevents a health care crisis.

I’m prepared to work toward a compromise, but this “deal” before us does not come close to meeting those terms. Voting NO.

This food price inflation stuff always seemed like hyperbolic bullshit to me.
