I think what bothers me most is that we've entered a "NATO like" defense agreement with the Qataris. An attack on Qatar is an attack on the US. And then we still have that Israeli attack in Doha a few weeks ago...

IAAFA, but that's not giving another govt its own facilities on US soil.

There's no other example of it. We trained Germans separate in Nellis in the 50s to reconstitute their flying program. But Germany is part of NATO.

Qatar on US soil with F15s and pilot. You OK with that? Thoughts?

Merriam-Webster @merriam-webster.com · 22h

Printing presses kept their letters in cases.

Capital letters went in the upper case.
Smaller letters went in the lower case.

This is why we say ‘UPPER CASE’ and ‘lower case.’

Ok, but what did we call them before the invention of the printing press?

MAJUSCULE and minuscule.

Yes. That's the point. It's just another opportunity for this party to otherize humans.

Be well.

AFL-CIO @aflcio.org · 21h

Federal workers are locked out of their jobs or working without pay. These workers inspect our food, make it safe to fly and so much more. They’re not political pawns—they’re the backbone of our country.

Fund the government.
Fix the health care crisis.
Put working people first.

Mitchell, 19 mos for conspiracy, perjury, etc. The entire cabinet will need pardons desperately.

YES!! Yes, it's this. Shame is not a thing among that community. I'm not sure how a functioning society survives in the face of that.

Interesting financial news this morning.

Mohamed A. El-Erian @elerianm.bsky.social · 22h

Notable market moves this morning:
10-year U.S. Treasury yields below 4.10%.
WTI crude oil below $60.
These developments, combined with remarks signaling future rate cuts from Fed Governor Waller (identified as one of the five finalists to replace Chair Powell), will provide a boost to stocks.

It's such a strawman argument. The able bodied people on medicaid is such BS. These guys should be embarrassed.
