The "othering" and blatant sexualization of Asian women at Harvard is horrendous.

If the US system remains trapped in an endless knife fight between a party of good government and a party of nihilistic governance then Europeans need to accept that the US will no longer be a stable partner long after Trump is gone
I'd just like to point out that we spent an entire shipment of air defense interceptors' worth of money on new signs for a name change that isn't even legally the name of the DoD.
Ukraine is currently experiencing rolling blackouts from Russian strikes, btw.

Letterheads and signage alone would quickly run the bill upward of $1 billion, with a full overhaul likely rising to double that amount.

There are a lot of factors pushing Republican-appointed justices against Trump, but here's a one: They hate taxes, and know that tariffs are taxes. Just last year, four of them suggested that large portions of our federal income tax code are unconstitutional! www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/23p...
