Ah yes, of all the concerns I have as a husband, father, business owner, neighbor, and American, that ballroom is at the top of the list. Thank you Mr. President.

They don't "appear" to contradict the government's lies, @nytimes.com. We have eyes and we've all seen the videos. We watched him try and protect that lady. We watched them beat him. We watched them take his gun and run away. And then we watched them murder him. From multiple angles.

Same. That was murder. Full stop.
I'm normally pretty jaded looking at these videos, not a guy who shies away from witnessing violence either digitally or in real life. But I just saw an angle of the ICE murder of Alex Pretti that has me really shook.

My parents are retired teachers/educators and they just have the one house, sir.
Bessent on institutional investors: "I's a good idea to have them out of the [housing] market. We're going to give guidance to see what is a mom & pop. Maybe your parents for their retirement bought 10 or 12 homes. We don't want to push the mom & pops out, we just want to push everyone else out"

And it is a quick solid read. Important for those who worry about focus economies. JMK has been making this point for a while, and I have been agreeing with him all along: Everything is the crisis, everything is the distraction. Hope it helps.

I had the pleasure of getting to know David when he was launching @p4ad.bsky.social. His vision provided an outlet for our family to get involved in advocacy for affordable insulin, and allowed us to meet many wonderful people on his team and network. He was a wonderful man and he will be missed.

I rode around in those station wagons. They were miserable and dangerous. No thanks.
I’m losing it. They know that Gen X is the only demo they have any footing with and so they are going all in on the nostalgia slop for them.
Sean Duffy on slashing fuel economy standards: "This rule will actually allow you to bring back the 1970s station wagon. Maybe a little wood paneling on the side. We can bring back choice to consumers."

NEW: Thunder GM Sam Presti is a huge fan of the legendary historian Robert Caro and frequently cites Caro’s “turn every page” mantra as a guiding light for the powerhouse Thunder. “I am truly touched, if you want to know the truth,” Caro tells ESPN. www.espn.com/nba/story/_/...
How a legendary historian is quietly fueling OKC's championship rise
As OKC GM Sam Presti formed a Thunder team built for a dynasty, he was inspired by a man who has been working on the same project for more than 50 years.

I'll be sure and chastise my daughter for getting diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at age 3 and my wife for getting breast cancer at 39.

I quit the former Twitter two years ago this week, and I am here to tell you that my online life got a lot better for having left it. In two years I've not been tempted to go back, and I haven't felt any penalty in either career or community for not being there. It's nice to be here and not there.

Never doubted them (I definitely doubted them).
Texas A&M leads South Carolina 31-30 after trailing 30-3 at halftime.
A 99-yard TD drive to take the lead in less than 20 game minutes.
