Cannot read all this. We have these two now, Bella and Gigi, but we lost Bijou before, and her Frenchie brother after her.

Methinks these may be the kind of stuff that needs to last long, for the historical purpose if being carried along by pilgrims to holy places. Like the navettes de Marseille. Also hard af. This is not fact, but an opinion

President Trump is determined to make good on his promise to bring American drug prices in line with Europe and Canada through a policy called “most favored nation” status.

So, why do Americans pay more for prescription drugs than anyone else in the world?

Why are US medicines so darn expensive?

And can Trump actually do something about it?

I admit it. As an immigrant, I eat swan roast every Sunday. Fresh from St. James' Park. You should try it too.

Zelensky confirms a Russian drone violated Romanian airspace by about 10 km and remained there for nearly 50 minutes. Poland also responded to Russian drone threats today. He warns this is no accident. Ukraine calls for sanctions, tariffs, and a joint air defense system now, not after the next wave.
