who would ever be ignorant enough and naive enough to have thought that essentials originating in china would ever, EVER be anything other than trojan horses? these must be the same people who would believe any single word, phrase or sentence that exists the current president's mouth.

why would anyone believe any word, phrase or sentence that exits trump's mouth?
even in matters of national security and foreign affairs. hasn't the world learned that the word "trump" means lying, deception and nothing more.
at least India has belatedly recognized this truth as well.

George T. Conway - Have you seen this . . . that is, if you yourself did not send it aloft!

there are a few well-educated trump enablers, believe it or not. they really, really don't want you to read this.

Tristan, did you do this reporting on Hegseth's plagiarism at Princeton? Or is there someone else I should thank? - david

insider sales of shares US-listed companies are governed by a very specific statute. they must be announced months in advance. the trump family is not bound by such rules, and there is now much scrutiny being cast on the self dealing. tesla's CFO bears no culpability whatsoever.

Abraham Lincoln suspended the writ of habeas corpus. But even mentioning his hallowed name in the same thought as our thug and his enforcers is too painful so i'll leave it at that.

You obviously did not see President Shipman's televised comments about all of this. If you had, this posting would not have appeared.

The new Pope's actual posts did not trash anyone. The language was relatively restrained and moderate, though they were factual & not loved by trump. It was an official account, & it is likely that a junior staff member wrote & posted without Father Bob's even knowing the posts were made. Facts, svp

maybe trump is in the control tower? and hegseth is on the flight deck?

This makes certain big name law firms look like nincompoops, and cowardly nincompoops at that, doesn't it? And others, like Arnold & Porter, that have resisted trump from the get-go, look like the go-to's when it comes to constitutional law.

Black women will be our final, best weapon against the ignorant bigots who want to destroy our fragile democracy. And most thinking people already know that. Those who don't are catching up fast.

huh? "the ancients were without novels" = a partial truth, at best. what about epic poetry? what about tales described as history? that use of "novels" was simply 19th century myopia . . .

Zelenskyy may be the greatest person of our entire century, and Francis may be the second greatest. this is a fitting tribute to them both . . .

only white men who owned property (including other human beings) could vote originally. so the Founders had a staggeringly incomplete sample of the potential population. their documents, heavily biased & skewed, have become increasingly irrelevant over time ---> low information, low frequency voters

Any publicly-traded company that does not pay all of its employees – thinking of Marriott in particular – a living wage is sowing its own demise. Marriott: what will you do about this?

no one who lives in texas and makes a modicum of an effort to know what is happening is surprised by this rank corruption.
the next insult to us will be that the disgraced executive director will not be prosecuted. the attorney general is himself a felon.

Marriott treats their entry and mid level employees appallingly badly. Sub-market wages and reserving their right to reduce hours at will. They have no soul when it comes to their employees.

this is a very bad, an unfortunately bad photographic reproduction of your work. it looks like a paint-by-numbers work. perhaps you should think about using another type of instrument, one that does justice to what you intended?

how does one reply to the many Jews and Israelis who are now lambasting Francis for being pro-Palestine and anti-Israel? what can one say in response . . .
