So, I got a notification today that @westmarine has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
I’m sorry, but I thought that just my expenditures alone would be enough to keep them afloat. It appears I am incorrect.

🚨 A tragic theory is now emerging after inspections by the Finnish rescue team mapping the cave: the Italian divers in the Maldives may have gotten lost inside the underwater tunnels 🇮🇹🇫🇮
What remains certain is that this was an extremely dangerous activity

You got rich insider trading while in congress, abandoned the people you were supposed to represent when you didnt get handed a senate endorsement, quit the moment you secured lifetime free healthcare, spend your time in D.C. whoring yourself around LITERALLY, & then fled the country to live abroad on insider trading largesse.
No one has a single fuck left to give about what **you** think.

It’s not an antisemitic conspiracy theory when a foreign lobby openly brags that they bought two congressional seats with candidates who will be loyal to Israel.

Has anyone ever heard of a car called Oldsmobile Cutlass?

On October 31, 1991, a 79-year-old Mary Anne MacLeod Trump stepped out of her Rolls-Royce on Union Turnpike near her home in Jamaica Estates, Queens, when a 16-year-old mugger grabbed her purse and threw her to the ground, and what followed was not just a violent crime but the event that quietly reframed the entire final decade of her life and revealed how her son, the real estate billionaire Donald Trump, actually showed up when it mattered for the people he loved. Mary Anne's purse contained $14. She refused to let it go. The mugger beat her on the pavement, breaking her ribs, fracturing multiple bones, causing a brain hemorrhage, and inflicting permanent damage to both her sight and her hearing, injuries from which she never fully recovered.
A bread-truck driver named Lawrence Herbert witnessed the attack, chased down the teenager, and held him until police arrived. The assailant later pleaded guilty to robbery and assault and received a sentence of three to nine years in prison. Donald Trump subsequently tracked down Lawrence Herbert and sent him a personal check specifically intended to keep Herbert from losing his home to foreclosure, a quiet, direct, and entirely unpublicized act of gratitude for a man who had saved his mother.
Mary Anne spent the last nine years of her life significantly diminished by that attack, her vision and hearing permanently impaired, surviving her husband Fred by approximately a year before dying on August 7, 2000, at Long Island Jewish Medical Center in New Hyde Park, New York, at age 88. She had come to America 70 years earlier with $50, worked in other people's mansions, married a builder from Queens, raised a future president, and in the end was mugged on her own street for $14, her Rolls-Royce parked just feet away. The death notice in the Stornoway Gazette, the newspaper of her Scottish hometown, read simply that Mary Ann Trump, aged 88, was the daughter of the late Malcolm and Mary MacLeod of 5 Tong, the fishing village she had left at 18 and never stopped belonging to.

I think President Trump made an unwise decision in endorsing Ken Paxton today because Paxton could lose the Texas Senate seat to Talarico. I hope enough Texas Republicans thank the president for his advice and vote for @JohnCornyn during early voting now and next week. GOP needs him and the seat.
Hugh Hewitt@hughhewitt
Senator @JohnCornyn should easily win the May 26 run-off against scandal-plagued Paxton, not just b/c Cornyn’s seniority is so high and he delivers for Texas, but also b/c he should win Trump voters as Cornyn has stuck with Trump through thick and thin and is a lay-up in November. With Paxton, Texas would go into “toss-up” or even “leans Talarico” column. Paxton has the noisy online slice of the electorate but Texas Republicans are a smart crowd. They know the score and will turn out for Cornyn just as they did in the first round that winnowed the field to two.

You are the most treacherous and truly worthless Republican leader in the history of the party. You even make Paul Ryan look like a plausible Republican, and there could be no lower bar.
Stop talking. You’re embarrassing yourself.

500 days ago, Republicans had a long to-do list. We’ve checked a lot of things off, but we still have more to do. And we’re not about to take our foot off the gas.

Seems they have a new strategy to go after America's non-political military leaders in order to attack President Trump.

Lots of guys (Rory, Tiger, Fowler) came from working class families. None of them needed iron covers.
Jeff Darlington@JeffDarlington
As you watch Aaron Rai in the PGA Championship, you might notice he uses iron covers for his clubs and wears two gloves — two habits often viewed as golf faux pas. But both are actually inspiring. Rai grew up in a working-class family in England, where his father sacrificed heavily to support his golf career. When Aaron got an expensive set of irons as a kid, his dad would clean every groove with a pin and baby oil after practice because the clubs meant that much to them. The iron covers became a reminder to appreciate what you have. And the two gloves? Rai started wearing them as a kid during cold-weather golf in England and eventually became so comfortable with the feel that he never stopped. Not gimmicks. Just gratitude… and comfort.

Maybe. Maybe not.
But the Luzon Strait, between 🇹🇼 and 🇵🇭, remains absolutely vital to resupplying, protecting, and evacuating U.S. military bases across the region.
Smart, influential techbros who ignore chokepoints are a serious threat to our Republic because you can’t AI your way around ocean geography.

Chamath: Taiwan Loses Its Strategic Importance in 18 Months @chamath: “ We're 18 months from Taiwan not being an important moment of conversation the way it is today. Why 18 months? Because we are at a point where we're probably 1-2 nanometers away from being able to do what we need Taiwan to strategically do for us. And so as we scale up our chip fabs, as we get more capacity, and interestingly, there are these orthogonal technologies being developed. I don't know if you guys saw, but Neuralink was showcasing a machine that is literally operating at the almost nanometer scale to do the brain operations for the implantation, all automatically. When you have the dexterity and the capability mechanically to make these things, the real reason then is a very different one than what it is today. Today, it's economic. And if you take that off the table, I think we'll have a very different attitude to Taiwan.”

Clemson is $1.5B in debt. Syracuse is closing or pausing 93 programs, UNC-Chapel Hill plans to cut spending by $89M over 3 years. Duke recently let 600 employees go in a $350M budget cut. Indiana public colleges announced a plan to eliminate or merge 580 programs statewide.

@kapilla Nope. It’s the job of decent people to call out the a-holes!

You telling people how or how not to judge makes you an asshole.
Rick Golfs@Top100Rick
If you are judging Aaron Rai for his iron covers, you may be an a**hole. His dad worked hard to buy Aaron nice clubs and would put iron covers on to keep them pristine. Aaron continues it to show gratitude. We should all be Aaron Rai fans.
