I am amazed that the passport readers at Heathrow Airport can not read Dutch passports properly
C’mon, it’s not rocket science. There’s regulations for what a proper passport should look like…
Ow wait, Brexit

I have to reformulate my old justification of being an ACS member:
1. 12 issues of a still pretty great magazine
2. cheap life insurance
3. a vague sense of belonging

tbh I have found the life insurance to be reasonably priced and have been a customer of that for many years

I feel much safer today knowing that we deported a Babson College student back to a country where she hasn't lived since childhood.
She wasn't even flying internationally. She was flying to Texas.

According to a new Economist/YouGov poll, Trump's approval rating is underwater in the majority of states — including 20 states he won last year.
He's flailing on the economy and his party's odds for 2026 are crumbling.
Do not let him convince you he is all powerful.

Previous Prime Minister Boris Johnson was born in the United States. I'd love for her to tell me that's different and then try to explain why without being racist.
