Clearly it wasn’t the result we were aiming for today. The team did a great job after FP3, in getting the car ready in time for qualifying, but a mistake in the last sector cost us. I know this track well and I’ll be aiming to deliver a more positive result for the team tomorrow.

When a billionaire with major government contracts & ties to authoritarian governments calls to "Abolish the EU," it is not an ordinary political opinion. It is a foreign state actor hostile to European democracy, pushing terrorist rhetoric, and destabilizing regional security.

The only Europeans that back Trump, Musk, and MAGA are those who wish to live under subjugation of Russia, Israel, and US or otherwise benefit from selling their sovereignty to these corrupt and hostile powers. These aren't patriots nor actual nationalists, they are traitors.

This isn't one animal. It's actually a colony of individual animals called zooids. Each has a specialized role. From the orb-like swimming nectophores to the bright orange stinging tentacles, they're essential to the survival of all.

Oden is a traditional Japanese hot pot dish consisting of various ingredients like daikon radish, fish cakes, and eggs simmered in a savory dashi broth. Commonly enjoyed during winter months, it's a warming comfort food found at street stalls and restaurants throughout Japan.

NEW info on shipwreck attack. It gets worse.
The 2 survivors climbed atop wreckage and waved to overhead.
"Some of the people viewing the video thought ... could have been an attempt to surrender"
Others "said the most logical explanation was ... signaling for a rescue."

It will be quite cold from the Northern Plains to the Northeast this weekend with a big dip in the jet stream and multiple cold frontal passages heralding the arrival of arctic air masses. Some subzero overnight lows are likely across portions of the Dakotas and into Minnesota.

I have participated in the 'Fed Chair sweepstakes' like any good Fed watcher. It matters. But **absolutely pivotal** for next year is the Supreme Court decision on Lisa Cook. If the President can remove members of the Board without review, it's game over for Fed independence.
“Big changes that could happen at the Fed, in terms of the Supreme Court allowing the president to remove a Fed governor,” said Claudia Sahm. “I think at the end of the day, the economy’s going to drive where rates go. But it could be a pretty uncomfortable ride.” www.marketplace.org/story/2025/1...
Federal funds rate predicted to go lower in 2026
If the Federal Reserve cuts rates next week as predicted, and Kevin Hassett becomes Fed Chair, where will rates be at this time next year?
