Trump: "You can give up certain products. You could give up pencils. Because under the China policy, every child can get 37 pencils. They only need 1 or 2. They don't need that many. You always need steel. You don't need 37 dolls for your daughter. 2 or 3 is nice. So we're doing things right."

@vermontgmg.bsky.social I’m re-reading your Watergate book. Amazing how similar the pay for play was! You describe potential reasons for the DNC break-in, but I think it’s much simpler than covering up some other convoluted thing. They wanted inside info. It’s why they stole memos.

If you're a farmer getting hosed by Trump's tariffs, not to worry, he's handing you a nice fat check for your troubles. If you rely on the ACA for your health insurance, sorry, not only is your premium about to skyrocket, but it will cover fewer services. Trump's America! 🙄

Wow. The incompetence is staggering. This is the Louvre. You’d expect better from them.
A water leak at the Louvre has damaged hundreds of texts, a museum official said, less than two months after thieves quickly made off with French royal jewels, exposing the vulnerabilities of the world’s most visited museum.
First a heist, now a leak. Water damages antique books at the Louvre.
Following a brazen heist of French royal jewels in October, the latest setback has exposed the museum’s creaking infrastructure and the pressing need for upgrades.
