I love my job in the incentive travel industry representing global DMCs (Destination Management Cos) to US and Canadian planners. It's also important to stay engaged in US and world events, so I follow and connect with many great minds. + I love wine.

This is an important moment, and we need to explain to the public why it's important.
An agency with the power to decide who gets to broadcast is supposed to be independent from the president so it won't abuse that power. If it's not, then we are letting the president seize the power to censor.

Narrator: "He would not listen"
This is what I’ve been talking about for months now:
Behind the scenes, MAGA leaders warn Trump he’s losing his base.
Predictably, instead of changing anything about his policies, his solution is to hold more rallies.

President Donald Trump is taking criticism from supporters for not addressing cost-of-living issues while focusing too much on foreign policy and billionaires.

Sorry, Sean but air travelers aren't worried about a lack of pull-up bars. Guess what concerns travelers most? High prices, safety concerns, delays, lack of refunds. That's the consumer stuff the Biden admin was trying to fix & the Trump team nuked. today.yougov.com/travel/artic...

I'm disappointed with how trump has handled everything, especially kowtowing to Russia at every possible turn, but here we are.
President Donald Trump said he’s disappointed in Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy’s handling of a US proposal to end the war that began with Russia’s full-scale invasion.

a PSA: most nonprofit newsrooms right now are probably participating in the NewsMatch program RIGHT NOW. That’s a program funded by a few foundations that “matches” your end-of-year donation.
If you set up $10 monthly, that literally unlocks $120 from NewsMatch.
So who could you support?

This is not a “peace deal”. It’s a 28-point surrender plan drafted and leaked to US media by Russia, and Trump treated it like it was his own. Rubio admitted as much to senators.
This is shaping up to be a train wreck.
