So the FB algorithm gives me a video on Super Mario Brothers 2 and a secret door in it. That’s not unusual in and of itself, but the person giving the tip? JJ McCullogh, of “How is this guy the Canadian commentator on WaPo’s website?” fame.

1. Readouts are good, in a general sense, for letting us know a) when the prime minister has spoken to another leader and b) what they talked about (or what they're willing to tell us about what they talked about).
2. I'm not sure how a readout would "clarify" anything in this case.

I think at this point folks should judge the result of negotiations & the relative positions of the two countries economically & in the world.
I think it's weird to call the PM out daily on a process that clearly wasn't going to happen fast/well, & is with an entirely untrustworthy trade partner.

If Canadians, travelling domestically, want to use the "good" security line at the airport, they need a NEXUS card, even if they aren't going to the US. And they need the blessing of Donald Trump's Homeland Security apparatus to get one. I'm calling on Canada to end this absurdity. #Canada #NEXUS

Trump as Roomba is a beautiful analogy.
It would happen no matter what. The US President is basically a Roomba. When he runs into opposition he turns and starts devouring in another direction. Sooner or later he always circles back, though.

I cannot tell you how absolutely infuriatingly this stuff comes across to Europeans.
When we say America is no longer a reliable ally, it goes considerably deeper than Donald Trump himself. This kind of complacent, condescending shit is a *huge* part of it.

lol isn’t a member of that coaching staff one of the lead candidates for the HC job?
Bills owner Terry Pegula on Keon Coleman: "The coaching staff pushed to pick Keon." Said Coleman wasn't at the top of Beane's list and that he was being a team player with the pick.
Pegula interrupted a Beane answer to make that known.

It was a good run.
Terry Pegula: "I'm aware there's criticism out there about our franchise."
He goes through the team's seeding over the last stretch, and saying that reflects a great organization.
"It's impossible to have that kind of results without having a good roster," Pegula says

The fact that they can't or won't is why the damage to our partnerships will last far beyond this President.

Was he asked to?
It’s one thing if he made the decision not to sign; we can judge him based on whatever he chooses to do. But if he wasn’t given the choice, then we can’t fault him for not signing. We can ask other questions about why he wasn’t involved though.

Mark Carney did not join NATO allies in signing this joint statement reaffirming the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Denmark and Greenland:

The problem with the Epstein example is that it was already an issue that was driving a significant portion of Trump supporters AND the right wing influencers that support him as well.
It was easy to put pressure on when it was a clear cut story to be told.

IMO the argument is that you can make things into big enough deals that it matters. Khanna found Massey and found survivors and made the Epstein Files the gigantic story it should be. Only then did establishment Dems come along. You can, in fact, make things into big hairy deals if you do it right.
if you want the Senate to do something, Senate Republicans must do something.

I just wrote an article about this and decided not to publish it yet. It is in the DOJ files (file got renamed after originally published and taken down. It’s online now). But too many unknowns about whether the letter itself is real or not. Some additional info though:
DOJ briefly uploaded this letter from Jeff Epstein to serial child molester Larry Nassar:
"Our president shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to 'grab snatch,' whereas we ended up snatching grub in the mess halls of the system."
