I feel like not enough reviewers know they had to remake the entire final third of the Michael Jackson movie because it falsely exonerated him, and it turned out the kid’s lawyer foresaw that shit in the 1990s and made sure to include a clause that the estate could never ever do that on film.
Trump’s ICE started DRC third-country removals last week with 15 people from Latin American countries.
And we sent an Iraqi interpreter who had helped US military to Rwanda last year.
There is no bottom.

We’re selling our old house, and have tried to price it to move. No realistic offers yet - if that lasts another month or two I know we’ll have gotten a strong market signal about what a realistic price actually is. OP needs to understand there isn’t a platonic “fair price,” just the market one.
… had been on the market 7 days and it was about 20% overpriced. We weren’t interested at that level, and my wife actually liked the one we bought (at a fair market price) better. Overpriced house has been discounted 5%, but it’s still on the market 3 months later, still (IMV) 15% overvalued.
Well, to be fair, the article says she dropped the price from £860k to £750k six months ago. But the property has been on the market since November 2024, which is enough time to acquire a “stench of death.”
We recently moved house in the US - one property we really liked…
Not necessarily. Wife inherits husband’s IHT allowances, including primary home, so likely first £1 million of the estate not subject to IHT. If she doesn’t have significant financial assets her estate may fall outside IHT.

I feel like it's poorly understood that Trumpism is *explicitly* about Trump and his allies getting to play by their own set of rules literally wherever possible
And then you might get into core inflation vs headline inflation, second order effects and so on. But saying that “When inflation moves up, that's because the Fed had something to do with it" is backwards causality, and very garbled (at best!) from a central banker.
We don’t have the preceding exchange between Warsh and Smith, but it might have had something to do with petrol prices, and Warsh might (reasonably) have wanted to argue that energy prices go up and down and the Fed might not want to respond to short term price volatility.
The first derivative (dy/dx) is more important than y, I think.
The US doesn’t want to send a delegation if Iran isn’t going to send one. Iran could put things on hold for eight hours then confirm, or they could say “not worth our time.”
Olly Robbins seems to have done precisely what the law, official guidance, and long-established convention demanded, in order to protect national security while doing everything possible, within reason and the law and associated requirements, to expedite the government’s business.
Unforgivable.
Literally, lolwut?
One of the dispiriting things about being a political writer in this era is that things are simultaneously horrifying and, in an intellectual sense, kind of boring. There’s nothing particularly challenging to grapple with; just a lot of hackwork where you point out the same lies for the 87th time.
I would like a Secretary of Defense who has read one (1) book on the history of warfare; preferably one that discusses the impact of disease on armies.
yall if you're going to this shit lol ur reputation
"CBS News has invited Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Trump advisor Stephen Miller, as special guests [...]
FCC Chair Brendan Carr, described by Darcy as Trump's "lapdog," will attend as a guest of Paramount, CBS News' parent company"
Feel like it should be a bigger story that Howard Lutnick's firm (run by his kids) created a financial product to buy up tariff refund claims at a major discount, and will now be cashing in on the higher costs passed onto consumers.
Burying the lede, eh, Mike? 😉

Man, when you compare the bravery of every day Minnesotans to the overpaid cops it’s astounding
It bears repeating that historically, the #1 thing that keeps people alive in hard times and disasters is “the ability to play well with others”
Bush gave a televised address in New Orleans after the worst of the disaster relief had been delivered. The political damage by then had registered. www.presidency.ucsb.edu/documents/ad...
"particularly" is a funny way to spell "exclusively"
It depends on whether you sign up to the idea that the current version of the sport is more likely to result in injury than the version played 20 years ago and that players and their teams aren’t able to assess their playing capacity accurately. It sounds like your answer to both questions is yes!
