Trump says he lowered drug prices “400, 500,600 percent”—defying all mathematical possibilities. What an achievement.

First it was "we have to blow up dozens of people on boats because of fetnanyl." But obviously it wasn't fentanyl being trafficked so then: narco terrorists are shipping cocaine! But then Wiles tells a reporter it's all about regime change and today it's bc US oil companies got kicked out in 2007?

Ahead of J’Ouvert and the West Indian Day Parade, it was an honor to receive the endorsement of my friend and colleague Assemblywoman Monique Chandler-Waterman. And I can think of no better way to celebrate than with a walking tour of Little Caribbean.

The way that housing co-ops work in Switzerland may seem foreign to many. But the central idea is simple: What if homeownership had no profit motive and no capital gains? Advocates say their model could reshape how the world thinks about affordable housing. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/26/r...

He wants a domestically deployable army he can send anywhere whose citizens he's angry at, instantly and without gubernatorial agreement. The currently imagined size of this army—600—doesn't matter.

I'd just like to point out how weird it is that places with hundreds or even thousands of reporters — the NYT, WaPo, CBS, NBC, AP, etc. — are all getting pummeled on every major story by the dozen computerboys at Wired. To fumble the bag this consistently is, at some point, cowardice and a choice.
NEW: Metadata from the “raw” Epstein prison video shows approximately 2 minutes and 53 seconds were removed from one of two stitched-together clips. The cut starts right at the “missing minute.”
