Can't believe there would be a flu outbreak at an air force base after hegseth said vaccinations against flu are no longer required.....it's like flu vaccines protect against the flu.
@McFaul@Kasparov63 Who could have predicted they would use the one piece of leverage they had after being sucker-punched? Apparently no one in the Trump administration.
@BK_McCallum While it’s not quite the same thing, I was using the men’s room once and heard a little girl talking with her mom in the stall. There was a very long line for ladies room, and I suspect it was urgent. It seemed quite reasonable given the situation. People need common sense.
@ChrismilleX@DrSuneelDhand In the north DFW burbs, there’s a great food truck outside a small gas station between Princeton and McKinney on the north side of 380.
There also a taqueria inside a shell gas station at 380 and FM2931 in Little Elm/Aubrey area.
Both run by people who know the cuisine well.
This is fascinating to me. Investigative journalist Jeremy Scahill reports that midway through indirect talks to end the war, Tehran’s negotiating team added two senior psychologists to help craft messages to Trump. They were experts in the fields of cognitive impairment and anti-social behavior, and they were added to manage what an official described as "the American President’s psychopathic behavior pattern.” See follow-up tweet.
We believe that one of the strongest responses Europe can give to Russia’s attacks and constant acts of aggression is to accelerate our accession process, to accelerate the opening of clusters.
It often feels as if we always have to fight harder than others to move forward on our path to the EU. Ukraine has earned the right to move faster. And that is exactly the political decision Europe needs today.
We are ready for the opening of all the clusters. We have done our work. Everyone in Europe knows this. So let us move forward with opening the clusters without delay – the remaining five clusters following today's opening of the first one.

At this point, Trump has been played by pretty much every country in the Middle East, from Israel and Saudi to the UAE and Qatar, and now by Iran itself. He’s like a Baby Huey in a world of grownups. He makes Jimmy Carter look like a canny master of geopolitical maneuvering.
Efforts to deal with the aftermath of the Russian strikes are ongoing in Kyiv, as well as in Kharkiv. Last night, the Russians launched more than 60 missiles at the capital alone. In total, 70 missiles and 611 drones were used against Ukraine. As of now, 28 people have been reported injured and four killed in the capital. My condolences to all their families and loved ones. A Russian strike on the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra set the Dormition Cathedral on fire – a church whose history dates back to the 11th century. And this is one of Russia’s most serious crimes against Christian culture to date. The State Emergency Service has already extinguished the fire on the cathedral’s roof. In Kharkiv, the Russians carried out a repeat strike against our rescuers as they were putting out a fire at the site of an earlier strike on an industrial facility. So far, tragically, five people have been confirmed killed. My condolences to all their families and loved ones. Nine people have been injured. In Dnipro, Russia struck the grounds of a railway station, a college, and several enterprises.
Other cities and communities were targeted as well. The Kyiv, Dnipro, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia, Sumy, and Mykolaiv regions were also under attack. This is how Russia shows the world its intention to continue the war. It is very important that there be a response from the G7 countries, which are now gathering for their summit – and that this response be decisive and substantive: more pressure on the aggressor and more support for Ukraine’s air defense, especially anti-ballistic capabilities. I thank everyone who is helping us protect lives.
Finally, we have a preliminary agreement to begin tentative negotiations over the hypothetical path forward to consider possible arrangements to discuss steps forward that may or may not be included in a notional accord over a working group that could possibly meet by a to-be-determined Teams call regarding initial steps for a peace accord.
