“Tariffing” Canada? Where is Safire when you need him?
I'm sorry that Trump's threatened steel and aluminum tariffs have now been implemented. This will mean fewer American jobs, more American inflation and because of damage to us exports probably a bigger trade deficit. I do not see any national security gain from tariffing Canada.

@NTFabiano Ikr? Pilots—another high intensity profession—have incredibly strict rules about sleeping. There must be studies examining role of sleep deprivation in surgeon error. Or there should be.

Just got another message from @uber that again did NOT answer a straightforward question. Guys I’m not sure at all uber drivers are getting the tips we’ve been in good faith been sending them.
Actually, @Uber did NOT answer the question. Which was a very simple straightforward question. So them not answering it is concerning

One hell of a photo
Seeing this boy standing in a graveyard speaks volumes about how the world has forgotten the Congolese people. 💔 Congo will be free in our lifetime. And when that day comes, the victims of three decades of war will finally find justice.🥺
