Can someone put him in one of those homes that’s about to go out of business

The president thinks that threats are negotiations. He isn’t bright enough to be able to effectively negotiate. He says what he wants and expects people to make it happen, like a child who has never been told no.

Blocked! This is horrible journalism.

Like rn in Tucson, it is impossible for me to live a walkable distance from my job. The housing nearby is out of my price range. The closest I could afford to live to my job would no longer be walkable. And even if I did live close by, the walking isn’t safe because there aren’t sidewalks

Brandon Combs @thebestgay91.bsky.social · 3d

I would love to live somewhere walkable but have only experienced that while living on campus as an undergraduate. I have never lived in a city or community that was walkable, and if it did have that it was/is in parts of town I can’t afford

I’m from NC, lived in charlotte for 10 years, and yes my suburban neighborhood had no sidewalks. Not safe to walk even when things are a walkable distance.

Thank you. Stop platforming liars.

STEPHANOPOULOS: I didn't insinuate anything. I asked you whether Tom Homan accepted $50k as was heard on an audio tape recorded by the FBI in September 2024. You did not answer the question. Thank you for your time.

VANCE: No, George, I sai--

STEPHANOPOULOS: We'll be right back

“CDC is over. It was killed. This administration only knows how to break things. They have made America at risk for outbreaks and attacks by nefarious players. People should be scared,” said Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, former director of the CDC’s National Center on Immunization and Respiratory Diseases

Copland, for sure. I lack the technique and talent to learn the quick parts of the clarinet concerto cleanly, but that doesn’t stop me from enjoying playing it

The average American man can’t define metaphor, much less detect or comprehend one. Hard to interact with well written lyrics if you also can’t read poetry.
