Loni, I will miss your presence on this earth. I loved working with you. You pulled hilarious pranks on me while filming! And I was always dieting at the time and you could eat anything. Example: me - carrots. You - carrot cake with ice cream - relishing every bite. 💕 Happy birthday.

Be interesting to see who does more lasting damage to his country's reputation in the world, Donald Trump or Benjamin Netanyahu, but they both appear currently to be in a rather fierce competition to accomplish that.

德州共和党重新划分选区以控制更多国会席位，现在战火开始蔓延到加州 caus.com/all-articles...

“如果共和党打算玩这个游戏，那加州可以更有力地反击，”长滩的民主党联邦众议员罗伯特·加西亚说，“我们不会眼睁睁看着全国的国会共和党人和特朗普操控、操纵选区划分，我们不会袖手旁观。”

加州的行动是迄今最明确的信号，显示特朗普推动全国划分选区以增加共和党人胜算的努力正演变为全国之争，特朗普希望增强共和党在2026年中期选举后继续掌控众议院的机会。

如果特朗普如愿，肯定影响深远，进一步压缩摇摆席位数量，强化两党意识形态的对立，并逆转选区划分权由非党派委员会而非政客的改革努力。

One of my husband Robert's favorite quotes comes from Horace Greeley, a newspaper man who founded the New York Tribune so many years ago. I think of it often:
“Fame is a vapor, popularity an accident, riches take wings. Only one thing endures and that is character.”
