Badass
But those rules don’t go far enough for Senator Elissa Slotkin (D-Mich.) or Rep. Haley Stevens (D-Mich.), who are introducing the Protecting America from Chinese Cars Act. Should it pass, the bill would ban connected cars built or designed in China (and other adversarial nations like Russia) from entering the country, including any connected cars built elsewhere by a Chinese company or by any firm in which Chinese companies own more than 15 percent.

Screwed
Funny how they all know they have to suggest Sleepy Joe is to blame.
Well before the first U.S. detection of New World Screwworm, since February of 2025, USDA has worked around the clock with our state, local, industry, and ranchers on the ground. The secretary herself made four trips to South Texas, more than anywhere else in the country," a USDA spokesperson told Reuters. "The idea that this department has not been transparent is absurd and does not match what ranchers are telling the department and our partners directly."
Sleepy Joe gave the cows citizenship!
Rollins blamed the spread of screwworm toward the U.S.-Mexico border on “the open-border policies of the last administration and the resulting illicit cattle movement” in a separate social media post an hour before Wednesday’s press conference.
The Decider
"He won’t have any choice," Trump told the Financial Times , over the phone. "I call the shots. I call all the shots. He [Netanyahu] doesn’t call the shots."Trump told Axios earlier that he was going to ask Netanyahu not to retaliate against Iran for the latest attack to make sure the three sides could salvage a deal.Trump told the Financial Times that the latest strikes have not had "any impact on the deal".
Mr. Trump, sir, he is making you look weak and foolish.
“Israel and Iran must immediately stop ‘shooting.’ President DONALD J. TRUMP,” Trump wrote on Truth Social early Monday.
In a phone call Sunday, Trump told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hold off launching a retaliatory attack on Iran, according to a US official.

Bari's Kids
If people want to travel because they think it would be cool to see this or that thing, that’s fine, but the idea that people are learning anything novel or valuable from these experiences is absurd. In order to learn anything that isn’t already on Wikipedia or repeated on a…

Back when she was at the NYT, gross old white recently retired and near to retirement at Times journalists would assemble like Sexpest Voltron to defend Bari whenever she was criticized.
So, the story goes through screenings. It’s very well received. There are notes as always and we do rewrites as always. But this is on a very tight deadline. It’s Sunday; we’re going on the air that night. And in the case of stories that are, as we say, crashing, our deadline on Sunday is noon. So, we work on all of these things. We get the piece approved by everyone. And about four hours after our deadline, Bari Weiss sends an email to my boss, Tanya Simon. Two of the things in the email include, can we make the protesters look more violent? Now, I’m paraphrasing. I don’t have the quote, but that’s what was communicated to me. And the other thing, Renee Good’s car. You need to describe her as driving toward the officer.
This is not what you see on the video. On the video, you see the officer standing slightly off the front of the car. And you clearly see Ms. Good’s wheels turned completely as far as they will go, away from the officer. But he shoots her in the head, kills her, and says something about her that I can’t repeat in polite company.
A certain type of man is very susceptible to a certain type of (then) young brownnoser. They are all probably in love with their chatbots now.

Is It Irresponsible To Speculate? It Would Be Irresponsible Not To
At Least The War Is Over
