Q: Mr President, have you been told that you're going to receive the inaugural FIFA peace prize today?
TRUMP: I have been told. There's a rumor about it. That would be a great honor.

lol just a few days there were reports abt how they were fighting because Trump wanted something too huge and too tasteless. And to be clear, IT WAS THE ARCHITECT TRUMP HIRED!!!! so like Trump's own guy came to him with tears in his eyes and said, "Sir, this is tacky and gauche and actually absurd."
Breaking news: President Trump replaced the architect he handpicked to design his $300 million White House ballroom.
It is unclear whether he was fired or resigned.

Trump hires new White House ballroom architect
Although the two had clashed over the size of the project, the decisive factor was the small firm’s limited capacity to handle such an enormous project.

The most interesting part of this story isn’t that the pipe bomber is MAGA. That was blatantly obvious. What should interest folks is that the FBI and DoJ hid that fact from you, and still haven’t made a statement. This info is coming from sources on the condition of anonymity.

It could cost USPS more than *$6 billion* a year in lost revenue, and lead Amazon to dominate yet another facet of the economy.

The new US National Security Strategy says explicitly, that the US should intervene in European domestic policy. It is difficult to interpret "Cultivating resistance to Europe’s current trajectory within European nations." otherwise in the context of everything else this government says and does.

Interesting phrasing. It‘s quite natural to ask if (a) there’s both overt and covert dimensions to this strategy; and (b) if the latter, whether there’s a presidential finding/directive to conduct influence operations favoring far right/white supremacist/anti-immigrant political parties & movements.

There is a "fix" for that, but it's the long struggle of building an actually democratic society in which learning is valued more than knowledge and knowledge is more valued than certification. Any number of experimental colleges & programs work toward this.
The invention of a perfect cheating machine just exposes a more fundamental problem, which is that most students go to college to get a degree, and any actual learning is incidental to that. There’s no real fix for that other than a devaluation of degrees in the job market, which is coming.

At the end of this clip, Berman had Cotton taking the position (which is de facto the Administration’s position) that the President on his own can declare who he wants to to be terrorists and to kill them under inherent Article II authority.
BERMAN: Would it be legal for police in Arkansas to kill suspected drug dealers on a boat in a lake?
TOM COTTON: The premise of your question is not well-founded
BERMAN: The answer is no. It would not be legal to kill them.
