Trump calling his boss to get his marching orders before his meeting with Zelensky. This is standard operating procedure for Trump. Fuck Putin. Fuck Trump. Say a few prayers for or have some positive thoughts for Zelensky. He’s gonna need them.

the President owning an online betting market where you can bet on what the President will do seems both deeply unethical, and stupid for bettors
Casino:
"Hey you can bet on when the buffet is out of prime rib! 10pm"
Chef: <checks bets> joe, pull the prime rib at 9pm

The Trump family is fully embracing prediction markets: Donald Trump Jr. is an adviser of Kalshi, and the president’s TruthSocial is planning to lunch its own prediction market, which would in theory allow high-dollar betting on actions the federal could take.

My column this week. Tommy Tuberville has repeatedly shown contempt for vast swathes of the state he wants to govern. And Alabama voters can’t dismiss his recent threats against Muslims as performative. Making him governor will allow him to harass innocent people over the way they worship God.
Don't ignore the threat that is Tommy Tuberville | Alabama Reflector
Don't dismiss the senator's escalating attacks on Muslims as performative. Tuberville has already shown contempt for vast swathes of Alabama.
