absolutely incredible -- CNN host introduces a segment about Trump's "new healthcare proposal," but less than two minutes later breaks into her script to announce "breaking news" that Trump's healthcare proposal is being postponed

Trump Administration bizarrely demands the University of Pennsylvania hand over "names, phone numbers and physical addresses" for anyone who "belongs to Jewish clubs or groups on campus, and anyone who works in the university’s Jewish studies program"...

What about political science, public administration, public management? State formation, democracy and government are inherently political processes.

Never forget that Trump claimed it as HIS plan, Vance personally promoted it, the White House said Rubio authored it - and they all gave Zelensky a week to agree to it or lose all support.

Presidencies have collapsed & people have been imprisoned for FAR less.

Treachery.

Italians have very strict rules when it comes to making carbonara. The classic combination of Italian pasta, pork and cheese are mixed with egg yolks and pepper preferably just moments before serving to create the perfect dish.

I did an interview with a senior WHO official yesterday. Trump's decision to leave the WHO and stop all funding has had a devastating impact. My interviewee said "my program is gone, my team is gone, I am gone". The loss of human lives cannot be estimated. All because of one man his followers.

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

Not a Communist.
Not seizing control of production means (but bonus point for conceptual knowledge).
Not going after small businesses.
Taxes largely beyond his control.
End of United States claim is bizarre.
