I bet he'll be late

Does this White House correspondent on Al Jazeera have a fatwa on calling Trump Trump? She is exclusively calling him "the U.S. President" even when it would be less cumbersome to just use his name.
Edit - After about fifty times saying "the U.S. President," she did finally use his name! But only after using Obama's. Maybe now I can pay attention to the other words she's saying.
He gave a national address after he murdered Soleimani to announce he wasn't retaliating against the (pro forma) Iranian retaliation. Spent some time being shocked and appalled that anyone would say "Death to America" but ultimately it was a let's-wind-this-down speech. So we shall see. I'm guessing he won't appear on time, and in the meantime we might get an announcement from Tehran.
We could have stopped this if we had insistently reminded Trump that this would make John Bolton happy.
Forget the July 4 celebrations. June 22 is the anniversary of the Nazi invasion of the USSR. May the day mark the beginning of the inevitable collapse of the Zionazi and AmeriKKKan regimes as it did their predecessor.
Republicans are moving the bill through Congress using special rules that shield it from a filibuster, depriving Democrats of the ability to block it. But to qualify for that protection, the legislation must comply with a rigorous set of budgetary restrictions meant to ensure that it will not add to the deficit. And the Senate parliamentarian, an official appointed by the chamber’s leaders to enforce its rules and precedents, must evaluate such measures to ensure that every provision meets those requirements.
Elizabeth MacDonough, the parliamentarian, ruled that the SNAP measure, which would push some of the costs of nutrition assistance onto the states, did not. That sent Republicans back to the drawing board to find another strategy for covering tens of billions of dollars of the bill’s cost.
So I guess we'll see the Republicans fire and/or overrule her, like the Democrats could have done years ago. Exciting times.
The NYT front page was autoplaying part of that interview the other day, and in the part I saw he was trying to justify the crackdowns because of migrants dying in the desert. Motherfucker, you're the one who forced them there and prosecuted people who left them jugs of water.

P.S.:
In 2015, Obama awarded him a Presidential Rank Award as a Distinguished Executive. The Washington Post article at the time stated, "Thomas Homan deports people. And he's really good at it."
Our camps runneth over
I am also disabled and am frequently too incapacitated to cook for myself. I also have a whole host of foods that trigger my migraines, so it's nice to have a backup option in case I've been precluded from partaking in any communal meal. Meal replacements are a godsend for me.
From 2003, but everything in it has also happened this year.

One connection stood out: While Dr. Shuren regulated the booming medical device industry, his wife, Allison W. Shuren, represented the interests of device makers as the co-leader of a team of lawyers at Arnold & Porter, one of Washington’s most powerful law firms.
Dr. Shuren signed ethics agreements obtained by The Times that were meant to wall him off from matters involving Arnold & Porter’s business. But it's not clear how rigorously the ethics agreements were actually enforced. His wife’s law firm refused to provide a list of clients — and the agency had no legal authority to require it, said Michael Felberbaum, a spokesman for the F.D.A.

But safety issues multiplied on his watch. The most urgent F.D.A. recalls of devices that can cause serious injury or death have ticked up, to nearly 100 so far this year, from 29 in 2012, the first year such measures were tracked in an agency database. In March, a heart device was recalled after 49 deaths were linked to a specific concern.
Reports of device-related injuries soared to 900,000 in 2023, up from about 190,000 in 2012, according to Device Events, a company that makes F.D.A. data user-friendly for subscribers.
His wife represented Theranos, as well as a breast implant manufacturer whose products were linked to a "rare form of lymphoma."
Adams is saying this a false allegation because the plaintiff "has a history of filing lawsuits." Imagine trying this as a criminal defendant. "Your honor, I don't remember assaulting this particular person, and in any case the District Attorney has a history of prosecuting people."
Wishing a very

Turns out she's Canadian, so if she's doing this out of immense respect for the Oval Office she's even weirder than I thought.
