They built a fully furnished, bulletproof, air-conditioned viewing booth on the National Mall for Fat Ass and his family. Such bravery, courage, and perseverance.
The guy who created Fortnite (Tim Sweeney) has been quietly buying up U.S. forests to save them from developers.
He has spent over $200M to buy 50,000+ acres of wilderness in North Carolina, using permanent legal protections to block any future logging or building.
An event so atrociously planned and horrendously executed that the “largest display of fireworks ever for a July 4th celebration” are being launched on July 5th and — less than 1/4 of the way through — are being almost entirely obscured by their own smoke.
I mean the first thing I'd do if my spouse was hospitalized after cardiac arrest is fly to the other side of the world for a sit-down with CCP leadership. Completely normal stuff.
Trump destroyed the teams at DOJ dedicated to going after kleptocrats and oligarchs like Putin, right off the bat. It was the first of many favors. Trump/Russia is no hoax. https://t.co/KspmgA2mec
Thank you, @thedailybeast, for covering this important story & for crediting my reporting. The public, and, most importantly, the people of Kentucky, deserve a full understanding of what happened in the days following what dispatch audio indicates was Senator Mitch McConnell's apparent cardiac arrest. https://t.co/I87NDZXDz4
In honour of today’s Brazil v Norway game, here’s my favourite Brazil geography fact.
The Amazon river is so massive that no bridge crosses it in the whole of Brazil. You would need to travel from the sea to the foothills of the Andes in Peru before finding a bridge to cross it.
The National Mall fireworks were so poorly planned that you couldn’t even view the finale through the smoke (my friend’s view from Arlington) 💀💀💀 What an absolutely joke and waste of money.
NEW: Hazardous firework-induced smog continues to hover over Washington D.C. this morning. Avoid time outdoors if you can.
The air so filled with microscopic particulates (PM2.5) that it’s potentially harmful to exert oneself outside. CODE PURPLE alert in effect.
Mitch McConnell remaining technically alive for an extra three weeks because of a manipulative procedural maneuver is exactly how he would have wanted to go out.
