BREAKING: A letter from Alex Pretti’s Final Nursing Student:
“I was Alex Pretti’s final nursing student. He was my friend and my nursing mentor. For the past four months, I stood shoulder to shoulder with him during my capstone preceptorship at the Minneapolis VA Hospital. There he trained me to care for the sickest of the sick as an ICU nurse. He taught me how to care for arterial and central lines, the intricacies of managing multiple IVs filled with lifesaving solutions, and how to watch over every heartbeat, every breath, and every flicker of life, ready to act the moment they wavered. Techniques intended to heal.
Alex carried patience, compassion and calm as a steady light within him. Even at the very end, that light was there. I recognized his familiar stillness and signature calm composure shining through during those unbearable final moments captured on camera.
It does not surprise me that his final words were, “Are you okay?” Caring for people was at the core of who he was. He was incapable of causing harm. He lived a life of healing, and he lived it well.
Alex believed strongly in the Second Amendment and in the rights rooted in our Constitution and its amendments. He spoke out for justice and peace whenever he could, not only out of obligation, but out of a belief that we are more connected than divided, and that communication would bring us together.
I want his family to know his legacy lives on. I am a better nurse because of the wisdom and skills he instilled in me. I carry his light with me into every room, letting it guide and steady my hands as I heal and care for those in need.
Please honor my friend by standing up for peace, preferably with a cup of black coffee in hand and a couple of pieces of candy in your pocket, just as he would. He would remind you that caring for others is hard work, and we must do whatever it takes to get through the long shifts. Step outside with your dog, breathe in the world, hike or bike as he loved to do, and let yourself find peace in the quiet moments within nature. Stand up for justice and speak with those whose views differ from your own. Hold your beliefs with strength, but always extend love outward, even in the face of adversity.
Take one step, no matter how small, to help heal our world. Through these acts, carry his light forward in his name. Let his legacy continue to heal.”
Just figured out where these fake tariff rates come from. They didn't actually calculate tariff rates + non-tariff barriers, as they say they did. Instead, for every country, they just took our trade deficit with that country and divided it by the country's exports to us.
So we have a $17.9 billion trade deficit with Indonesia. Its exports to us are $28 billion. $17.9/$28 = 64%, which Trump claims is the tariff rate Indonesia charges us. What extraordinary nonsense this is.

Phillip: Milley said, “I had suspicions when I talked to you about his mental decline and so forth, but now I realize he's a total fascist. He's now the most dangerous person to this country. A fascist to the core”
The Hungarian autocrat will never be a European and a democrat. He will always try to equate himself with other autocrats and despots(#TrumpIsTooStupid). He will always be a sycophant of Putin or his successor.#Orbán#Orban#EuropeanUnion#Trump#TrumpVance2024

Viktor Orbán has changed Hungary's constitution enough that now they can't get him out of power. Ever wonder why Trump's invited him to Mar-a-Lago so many times?
Hungary: No immigrants but Russian and Belarusian workers are welcome, opening the door to Russian spies in the Schengen zone.
The Hungarian government has introduced a National Card from July that allows Russian and Belarusian “guest workers” to enter the country without the usual security screenings.
The National Card has multiple advantages. First, there is no limit to the number of guest workers coming with it.
Secondly, there are no excluded jobs and the future guest workers do not have to submit certificates that their work is needed in Hungary.
When they prolong the permit, they do not have to take a cultural knowledge exam.
Finally, those obtaining a National Card can bring their family to Hungary.
You may get your National Card for 2 years, but your stay can be extended for three years for unlimited times.
It’s hard to explain why the Hungarian government would like to let in many Russians and Belarusians now.
If Russia wants to send spies with the programme, their activity may not be confined to Hungary, but to any Schengen Zone country. Obtaining a National Card allows you to travel everywhere in the zone.
I’m super excited that @PeteButtigieg will be joining our “White Dudes for Harris” Zoom call on Monday!
We’ve now hit more than 20,000 sign-ups! This is going to be an AMAZING virtual event — hope you can join us, guys!! 👊
