In the event that she is able to be at full capacity through her first term—a complete roll of the dice—she will be unsuited to a second, which she’d finish at 92. She’s collecting valentines. That’s a selfish gamble. I say all this as an old guy myself. We’ve been to this movie.

So it’s a win-win?

And please not Janet Mills…What benefit would there be to another Senator—this one, a freshman—who will be in her 80s by the end of her first term?

"If you know you know." That's a hot one. Now everybody knows. More like, if you care you care; if you don't, that speaks for itself.

Well deserved. Congrats.

Don't agree. He's had a lot of injuries, and he does slump a fair amount. But I never hear people razzing him at the stadium. He's well liked.

Anyone who self-describes as "a disruptor" at this point in our troubled cultural history is revealing their true identity as a freelance asshole.

Is Sephora an “educator” or an ”Industry Advisor”? What, pray tell, was their contribution? And finally, where will smoky eye technique fit in the AP curricula of the future?

It must have seemed clever in the spitballing sessions, which is likely why he keeps saying it. But Bessent will at some point pause and realize that what he's implicitly saying is that we can only get paid if we don't say mean things about our king. By then, we can only hope, it will be too late.

Speaking as a fellow mayonaissard, in appearance anyway, I can say that I am fully hinged and only considered a lunatic by my wife and kids. I will be at the No Kings Rally because that's what the US is all about--no kings.
