An image shows a tweet from Senator Schumer that reads: “Why did President Trump post this at 9:37AM yesterday? Why did he feel the need to add his initials? Was it to signal to his friends and family that he was going to pause the tariffs so they should buy low, knowing the Market would boom? Was this another “stand back and stand by”? We need to find out. We must investigate.” And a post from Donald Trump on Truth Social that reads: “THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY!!! DJT”

We can't. We need answers.

They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.

-FS Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby, published 4/10/1925.
Original 1925 jacket cover of The Great Gatsby The Great Gatsby Here is a novel, glamorous, ironical, compassionate a marvellous fusion into unity of the curious incongruities of the life of the period which reveals a hero like no other one who could live at no other time and in no other place. But he will live as a character, we surmise, as long as the memory of any reader lasts. "There was something gorgeous about him, some heightened sensitivity to the promises of life. .. It was an extraordinary gift for hope, a romantic readiness such as I have never found in any other person and which it is not likely I shall ever find again?" It is the story of this Jay Gatsby who came so mysteriously to West Egg, of his sumptuous er-tertainments, and of his love for Daisy Buchanan a story that ranges from pure lyrical beauty to sheer brutal realism, and is infused with a sense of the strangeness of human circumstance in a heedless universe. It is a magical, living book, blended of irony, romance, and mysticism. CHARLES SCRIBNER'S SONS The GREAT GATSBY FITZGERALD

With Marine Le Pen being imprisoned for embezzlement, it almost makes you think the far right are all just crooked self-serving grifters who can’t be trusted. I'm just glad we don’t have anyone like that in this country…
