Melania probably had no idea how her job satisfaction would plummet when Putin placed her as Trump's handler.

We already know. You're his number 2 Asset. Putin promised you a Rich American Billionaire, but all you got was a Winny Little Bitch named Donald Trump.

Maybe you should stop communicating!

They are both naturalized citizens too, which underlines the immense talent that immigrants have historically brought to this country

And even if I didn’t know that for a fact, the inference would have been obvious. Esther and Abhijit have been recruited by everyone since forever, it’s not as if an opportunity like this just emerged and happened to be in Europe…

It might be hard to convey to people outside economics just how seismic this is. The Trump effect has most certainly arrived to US academia.

I am delighted to share that Nobel laureates Esther Duflo and Abhijit Banerjee will join our Department of Economics @econ.uzh.ch at the University of Zurich on July 1, 2026, as Lemann Foundation Professors of Economics.

Uh, the fuel to do it? Really? You should say the "excuse" to try to do it. And he will fail. They may influence Trump, but that's about where it ends. You all give "influencers" more power than they actually have. And Trump just wants excuses to be a dick ta tor.

Why on earth would anyone call what the Republicans are doing a “law and order immigration agenda”?

You think zip-tying children, smashing doors & windows, detention without warrant, racial profiling, & all the other fascist tactics they are using is “law and order”?

You’re a writer.
Write better.

I wondered what possible insight right-wing influencers could provide about "the antifa organization." Just as I thought. None.

They were there to coordinate on how best to make it *appear* there's a violent antifa organization.

Someone should remake "Wag The Dog" for the current media landscape.

Reindeer, cut off from foraging routes, now graze on seaweed. Polar bears, deprived of the ice platforms to hunt seals, have turned inland, increasingly, clashing with humans.

Scientists are discovering how climate change is transforming ecosystems, making their work more dangerous.

American have either not figured out (or are too overwhelmed to process) that Republicans have, in effect, killed the Affordable Care Act and all those with pre-existing conditions are now faced with unaffordable insurance in a nation with a predatory health care model

I am 100% sure I’d feel the same way. A military that would harm and separate families, frighten children, shoot at clergy praying in public, swear at the elderly, and throw terrified wives against walls, then shoot our dogs? Well, they are sub-humans.
