why would someone spend millions on building a factory in the US under the presumption that US-made products will be protected if the protection comes and goes on a whim?

Hello Mr. Insurance Company I would like to purchase a comprehensive health insurance plan for 1 dollar. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
TRUMP: We’re going to give Americans the money to buy health insurance
REPORTER: But won’t they buy it from
Insurance companies?
TRUMP: Ahhh. Some may. I mean they’ll be negotiating prices

Another revelation from all of these emails is that many of the richest and most powerful people in the country absolutely cannot write. Helps explain their sweaty embrace of LLMs.

Earnest post: there is increasingly direct evidence that Trump participated in child sex trafficking or at least knew about it.
He should resign, be impeached and removed from office, and prosecuted.
Even if you don’t think that WILL happen it’s important to say publicly that it SHOULD happen.

So tired of this corruption. Hope to see some house cleaning.
UPDATE: The city declined to provide a breakdown of internal costs for Mayor Bruce Harrell's slickly produced budget video, which largely duplicates his campaign talking points, after initially saying that they would. 1/2

The record pretty conclusively proves that Congress loves a shutdown until the exact moment that a shutdown interferes with their ability to reliably catch a flight.

Unacceptable. There are 189,000 people in my district who will be paying 50–300% more for the same, and in many cases worse, healthcare.
I won’t do that to the people I represent. I’m a NO on this “deal.”

This is, unsurprisingly, nonsensical. Is he suggesting eliminating health insurance and giving people a few thousand dollars instead? And then when they get a cancer diagnosis they just go bankrupt?
He is so unserious. That's why we are shut down and Americans know it.

The lights are still out, going on more than a year, at Judkins Park. This trail is heavily used by locals for recreation as well as a major connection in our regional transportation bike network.

The attacks during this campaign have been far more personal and negative (and misleading) than we were expecting. The good news? Seattle voters don’t seem to be buying it. The more the mayor attacks me, the more voters look at him skeptically.
