NYT: “.. Hispanic areas that shifted the most to the left in 2025 were virtually a mirror image of the places that had swung the farthest to the right ..

“Trump’s surge .. may have been fleeting, or at least not transferable to other candidates ..”

No end to this man’s sacrifices for the working man.
A deep dive on how Mr. Populism himself, Steve Bannon, was Epstein’s legal and media coach — “devising responses to the gathering storm of public outrage about Epstein’s criminal history.”

Is Donald Trump putting his thumb on the scale for Paramount-Skydance CEO David Ellison in this bidding war?

Perhaps because of Paramount's $16 MILLION donation to Trump's Presidential Library?

This reeks of corruption.

In one week, the White House has seen members of Congress push back on $2000 checks, had to pull another nomination, watched Sen. Kennedy call Trump a lame duck and had two red states reject redistricting.

So I actually just watched an exchange from Trumper media in which it was explained that Trump didn't do anything wrong because Epstein only "gave" the women to Trump after they'd aged out of the 15-17 massage age range.

Ah, to be a fly on the wall for that one.
Vice President JD Vance told Fox News this evening he'll talk with President Trump after the 2026 midterm elections about possibly running for president in 2028.
Vance says he'll "sit down" with Trump to discuss a 2028 run after the midterms
"I would say that I thought about what that moment might look like after the midterm elections, sure." he told Fox News.

Spot on! But Europe is moving too slowly.

I’m sure we will put a commitment to work on this in some European council statement.

Or better still: call for more analytical work on Europes dependencies:)
This is Solvay locking in demand from US magnets plant & source material from Uk firm and huge howl towards the EU that if it doesn't do bankable contracts and more risk-sharing for separation to metal to magnet then future scale will also go to US.

There ARE many things EU can do to stave this off
