@abbydealer I think it will be a permanent brunch item at the weekend, unsure if it will be on tomorrow or if it will take a week or two for that to be the case.

@robpatrob My E53 AMG uses the same 429-hp turbocharged 3.0-liter inline 6 that’s in the S500, supplemented by a 48-volt hybrid system. It’s the secret to an autostop function that’s nice to use, since the hybrid system is used to start the engine and not a traditional starter.

Of all of the questions in football, perhaps the biggest is: “Why does Jesus hate keepers?”

You know, the mind wanders at the possibilities… 1000% export tax on oil & gas 5000% export tax on potash Turn off the electricity flows from Quebec overnight

As pissed off as I am about this utterly unnecessary tariff foolishness, all I can think about is what the mother or widow or child of a Canadian killed in action in Afghanistan must be feeling.

A European Starling (I think) catching some south-facing rays just now, to give you a brief pause from the doomscrolling nonsense

There is a small, stupid, but vocal segment of the Canadian population that actually support Trump and his tariffs. They all want the same person to be Canada’s next Prime Minister. Draw your own conclusions.

“The billionaires will have all of your information and control everything, and you will be happy.”
Unelected billionaire Elon Musk continues to expand his power grab, and this time he wants Americans’ most sensitive information, including their Social Security numbers and banking information. We should all be asking why he wants it.

This is what you voted for, Senator. Why aren’t you and your supporters celebrating, @SenatorCollins?
The Maine economy is integrated with Canada, our most important trading partner. Certain tariffs will impose a significant burden on many families, manufacturers, the forest products industry, small businesses, lobstermen, and agricultural producers. For example, 95 percent of the heating oil used by most Mainers to heat their homes comes from refineries in Canada. The Air National Guard Base in Bangor depends completely on jet fuel and diesel from Canada. From fisheries to potato farmers to paper mills, these tariffs will have a significant impact on Maine’s economy and risk increasing costs for our residents. I am working with the Trump Administration to help its officials better understand the potential ramifications of certain tariffs on Maine and to find out more about their implementation, scope, duration, and other important information, including any exemptions they may make for northern border states, certain industries, agricultural producers, and others who rely on trade with Canada.
