“Trump blames shutdown for GOP election losses” in normal times this would cause the GOP to, I dunno, work with the Democrats. Not this Nazi: “The president called for a quick end to the government funding lapse by eliminating the filibuster.”
Headline from Politico: “Trump blames shutdown for GOP election losses The president called for a quick end to the government funding lapse by eliminating the filibuster.” A photo of Trump standing at a podium with his mouth open and the caption beneath the photo is “President Donald Trump speaks during a breakfast on Wednesday with Senate Republicans in the State Dining Room of the White House. | Evan Vucci/AP”

This guy is a celebrity in our neighborhood! I hope his smile gives you a smile too.

Not like we should rely on AI for medical advice, but at least DuckDuckGo isn’t advocating for people to smoke during pregnancy
DuckDuckGo search results for “smoking while pregnant” says: “Smoking during pregnancy can lead to serious health risks for both the mother and the baby, including premature birth, low birth weight, and increased chances of birth defects. Quitting smoking at any time during pregnancy can significantly improve health outcomes for the baby.” It links to Wikipedia and the Government of Alberta.

“One man used his faith to flatter power, and glorify himself, and, not incidentally, rake in the bucks. And another tried to bring people together, to help others, and offer faith as grace, as hope.”

I know which one I want to be.

Martin Marty in 2017. The University of Chicago religious scholar, 96, believes faith should bring people together, not drive them apart. "Nothing is more important than to keep the richness of our pluralism alive," he wrote, words more true now than ever.
