NEW: President Trump has never before been in such an echo chamber
His domestic travel has basically stopped. He sees rich donors and MAGA media, not actual voters
Everyone around him is saying he is right. But polls show more Americans think he is wrong www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Trump Has Never Been More Isolated
Even Trump’s allies worry that he has become out of touch with what the public wants.

What Was the American Revolution For?
Amid plans to mark the nation’s semiquincentennial, many are asking whether or not the people really do rule, and whether the law is still king.

This song takes on a very different meaning when you realize that David Gates wrote it for his dad, who died in 1963—just a few years before Bread became an international success. Gates says his father was his greatest inspiration.

The atmosphere of Mars is too thin to effectively shield it from small meteors hitting the surface.
Here, a new, small (10 m) impact crater formed some time between 2010 and 2019.
Although the crater is small, the effects are widespread, with the seismic energy triggering lots of dust falls!
