Trump's press events with world leaders that he doesn't like are quickly becoming the weirdest moments in U.S. history.
RAMAPHOSA: I am sorry I don't have a plane to give you
TRUMP: I wish you did. I'd take it. If your country offered the US Air Force a plane, I would take it

Carney's a former Bank of England and Bank of Canada governor—he's survived global financial crises and Boris Johnson. He can probably make it through 45 minutes of “many people are saying.”

crazy that an influx of dense infill housing can lower prices and make homeownership more attainable
"In 2020, [Portland, OR] approved building [middle housing] on lots zoned for single family homes... A new report from the City says, it's working. 1,400 new units built in just a few years and each one is $300,000 less expensive than a typical single family home." @nbcnews.com

I thought this was a great point by James Moore. I've been getting tired of hearing "we're a very divided nation". Isn't an election a popularity contest for a given point in time? So there has to be a loser? Our democracy is stable.

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978?
100%? 500%?
Try 1,085%
Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991.
This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

It certainly looks like Elon Musk’s henchmen stole all the data from the agency which protects workers rights, tried to cover it up, and then threatened to kill the guy who blew the whistle on it.
A whistleblower's disclosure details how DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data
A whistleblower tells Congress and NPR that DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data and hid its tracks. "None of that ... information should ever leave the agency," said a former NLRB official.

It’s adorable hearing Hegseth complain about “bailing out” Europe like the U.S. doesn’t rely on anyone for anything, while Trump confidently declares they “don’t need Canada.” See that 23% drop in visits to U.S. border towns and $2 billion in tourism revenue just... gone? Cry harder.
