Yes the rupture remains. Donald Trump is not going to defend a NATO ally under attack, hence the core of the alliance-Article 5-is not operable for the US while he’s president. Also Rubio’s tone was friendly if you’re a white Christian nationalist.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio offered a friendlier tone to European nations than JD Vance, but the elephant in the room – the rupture between the US and its NATO allies – remains.

This is the ad that Fox News does NOT want you to see.
Fox News rejected our newest ad, which demonstrates that Trump has “gone too far” with ICE.
But we will not remain silent in the face of these attacks.

Lots of #SuperBowl commercials are being pre-released in :60 and :90 lengths in the hopes people will see and like them before the game. Most of them will air in chopped up :30s that come and go in a blip, and are easily forgotten. Marketers get the Big Game wrong. #advertising #marketing

Had 4 offers to judge local ADDY shows this year. I'm wondering if AAFs are having a hard time finding judges because it's now entirely sitting in front of a computer judging 100s of case studies. It used to be way more enjoyable going to cities and judging in-person.

At the end of the Cold War, we hoped Russia would become more like the United States- democratic, with a market economy and respect for rule of law. The new NSS makes clear that Trump’s goal is to make the US more like Russia, supporting Putin’s transactionalism and spheres of influence approach.

The Hollywood Reporter, citing an anonymous source, said that the error happened because Mad Men production company Lionsgate gave HBO Max the wrong file.
