First 6 Days of Iran War Cost U.S. $11.3 Billion, Pentagon Says

The 2026 National Science Foundation budget is $8.75 Billion.

I know it’s not quite what Alan is talking about but I was hoping his article would help me figure out which one is The Night Agent and which one is The Recruit because I’m still not sure I can tell them apart.

(Yes this is close to circular logic, but I bet many governors take moderate or sensitive positions that alienate locals in their party and I doubt Shapiro does more than others. You know Philly better than I, but if —and it’s a big if—he is taking off nationally I imagine PA would join in too)

The paper & video trail is long. Let's take a look...

Thanks for the helpful auto-complete, Gmail.

Definitely a prom night favorite.
