"Your CONduct is better when you conDUCT yourself appropriately.”

A pair of words that is used in a fixed order in an idiomatic expression is called an ‘irreversible binomial.’
‘Peanut butter and jelly’ is an example of an irreversible binomial.

I loathe Musk as much as anyone else but for a sitting president to openly threaten a private citizen over what political donations he or she chooses to make is a reminder of how authoritarian this country is becoming by the day - by the hour even!
Trump tells NBC his relationship with Musk is over and he will make no effort to repair it.
