@NickKristof@mluckovichajc Anyone like me who covered tRump's financial dealings as a financial reporter is absolutely not surprised by this algae mess. I mean, the guy single-handedly wrecked a CASINO business (Trump Taj Mahal)! You'd have to be a complete idiot to run a casino operation into the ground.
@AaronParnas This same thing happened at the pool in front of the Trump Taj Mahal casino -- shortly before tRump defaulted on millions of junk bonds backing the casino, and he declared bankruptcy (again...).
@JustinmTurpin If I had the money, I'd pay to have a banner made that reads "Hey John: You Fired the Wrong Guy!" hang in the bleachers every single home game.
@ryangrim In a previous life as a financial reporter for DJ-WSJ, I covered his destruction of his Taj Mahal and other casino properties, triggered by junk bond defaults, after he stupidly leveraged up right before a recession, and as the properties were hemorrhaging money badly. Go figure
@peterbakernyt Ok, but everytime he slaps his name on something, it eventually goes bankrupt, or sinks (and whatever workers helped make it happen never actually get paid). Go look for the "Trump Taj Mahal" casino in New Jersey: it's gone, collapsed after losing a fortune. Workers got stiffed 2
@DomNicholls@FrancisDearnley Dom, Francis - just a fyi that I saw the documentary "Facing War", (re formr NATO chief Stoltenberg's last yr in that role as he navigated Ukraine war issues) last night at Ukraine Institute, NYC. And UTL audio was widely featured throughout the doc!
@DomNicholls "cough, cough, Taurus, cough"...
"I don't blame you, Francis, for missing my podcast..."
And the Icarus joke -- Dom, you're in rare (especially for a Monday) form today!
@DomNicholls - I laughed out loud when you expressed your "huuuuhmmmmmmm" in response to Francis' delight at being able to mention, once again, the name of his fantasy girlfriend, "Kaja Kallas". 😂
@DomNicholls "He's said 'Innovation' again!!! " 😂
Also, the line about the impressive diversity of all those "balding white men" was quite funny!
How are you doing post🏃🏃🏃?
NEWS: The ICE officer relieved of his duties after being captured on video pushing a woman outside an immigration court in New York City has been returned to duty, two U.S. officials tell CBS News.

@DomNicholls@FrancisDearnley@adeliepjz In their interviews, the children reflect on their young lives in war-torn Ukraine, including their aspirations, fears and hopes, and other things.
I hope you might be interested in speaking with Nora, and the Ukraine non-profit founder with whom Nora coordinated her trip! -3-
@DomNicholls@FrancisDearnley@adeliepjz Hi! fyi I emailed you today about a great potential guest for UTL. My friend Nora (Jaccaud), the creator of the award-winning video portrait series “Human Postcards” just returned from a week-long trip to Ukraine. -1-
@DomNicholls@FrancisDearnley@adeliepjz The main areas she visited included Kharkiv, Mykolaiv and Lviv. The purpose of Nora’s trip was to create a series of single-person short videos, in which she interviewed individual Ukrainian children who’ve suffered the loss of family members, homes or friends due to the war. -2-
Russia escalating its genocidal war in Ukraine, targeting the EU Commissioner’s plane w GPS jamming, bombing EU and British building (& American factory) in Ukraine, & now swarming Poland w drones is happening because of Trump’s fealty to Putin. What promises were made to Putin?
