Maybe she can give Mike Johnson some makeup pointers.

There seems to be some signals from the elites that it’s okay to use again.

I’m only on car #2. This is what car #1 looked like when I got a new one.
Wrecked silver 2001 Nissan Altima with flattened roof and shattered windshield.

Don’t worry, there’s bipartisan consensus. Susan Collins is also very concerned.
Sen. Susan Collins @SenatorCollins Follow • The Maine economy is integrated with Canada, our most important trading partner. Certain tariffs will impose a significant burden on many families, manufacturers, the forest products industry, small businesses, lobstermen, and agricultural producers. For example, 95 percent of the heating oil used by most Mainers to heat their homes comes from refineries in Canada. The Air National Guard Base in Bangor depends completely on jet fuel and diesel from Canada. From fisheries to potato farmers to paper mills, these tariffs will have a significant impact on Maine's economy and risk increasing costs for our residents. I am working with the Trump Administration to help its officials better understand the potential ramifications of certain tariffs on Maine and to find out more about their implementation, scope, duration, and other important information, including any exemptions they may make for northern border states, certain industries, agricultural producers, and others who rely on trade with Canada.

Absolute nonsense. He’s probably going to steal this joke and claim it as his own in a few days.

Sure we’re less than seven days into the new administration, but maybe now is a good time for @washingtonpost.com to review its public justifications for withholding an endorsement.
"We recognize that this will be read in a range of ways, including as a tacit endorsement of one candidate, or as a condemnation of another, or as an abdication of responsibility. That is inevitable," Lewis wrote. "We don't see it that way. We see it as consistent with the values The Post has always stood for and what we hope for in a leader: character and courage in service to the American ethic, veneration for the rule of law, and respect for human freedom in all its aspects."

The shift towards Republicans definitely looks more blunted where Helene hit.

As important as your econ writing has been, I sure hope this gets included in your obituary.
Just six days before America invaded, Krugman wrote, "The original reasons given for making Iraq an immediate priority have collapsed. No evidence has ever surfaced of the supposed link with Al Qaeda, or of an active nuclear program. And the administration's eagerness to believe that an Iraqi nuclear program does exist has led to a series of embarrassing debacles, capped by the case of the forged Niger papers, which supposedly supported that claim. At this point it is clear that deposing Saddam has become an obsession, detached from any real rationale.

“We have a wide open southern border.” 🙄
Border crossings by month showing they’ve fallen by half from a year ago.
