Augustine Gambrill II held at least 10 people in slavery and Augustine Gambrill III held at least 17 people in slavery. These enslaved people worked the tobacco plantations that built the Gambrill family fortune, which allowed its scions to dominate the flour and cotton mill industry in Maryland.

At first I thought it was funny that he was adding himself to a "memorial center," but now I think that's the whole bit. He wants this stuff now because he knows nobody's going to do it later. And he (incorrectly) thinks that once he's gone, nobody will want to take it down.

The White House Christmas tree Thursday night had far fewer visitors than in years past. Just 1 week before Christmas the tree utterly lacked decor, no trains and toys under it. It was a solemn and dreary metaphor to a Presidency without joy or seasonal goodwill; a city besieged by police agencies.

A study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine found that cutting back on saturated fats reduces the risk of heart attack and stroke. A roadkill-eating, whale-decapitating heroin addict says Americans should eat more saturated fats. For busy eaters, it can be hard to know who to trust.

The media should clearly report, but won't (because they're terrified of MAGA, etc.), that the president is INSANE. That's not even disputable at this point. His brain is rotten mush. bluevirginia.us/2025/12/mond... h/t @kyledcheney.bsky.social

one thing that receives almost no attention is that the only reason he ran for president again is because he had to to avoid prosecution for a litany of crimes, the whole plan was: 1). Take shelter in SCOTUS-granted immunity. 2). Loot.
trump is the president in the sense that he holds the office but he very clearly isn't the president in the sense that he has basically relieved himself of its duties
Trump’s echo chamber:
Very little U.S travel
No rallies or contact with supporters
Right-wing media
Dinners with rich donors and billionaires
Truth Social
Lack of staff to tell him no www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

the “thanksgiving food is bad” discourse raises its ugly head every year, but the truth remains that thanksgiving food can be amazing as long as you know how to cook. the problem is we’re throwing a few million sunday drivers directly into a grand prix
I think this is unfair to turkey. turkey is good but hard to cook well because it is so damn big. turkey *parts* are great but lack the esthetic appeal of a centerpiece bird.
