TRUMPED: Yesterday in one sentence: The U.S. and European Union reached a trade deal that sets a 15% baseline tariff on most European imports and avoids a 30% tariff threatened by Trump before the Aug. 1 deadline; during a meeting at his Turnberry golf resort in Scotland to discuss the U.S.-UK trade agreement with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, Trump spent most of the session defending himself over his past ties to Jeffrey Epstein; Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche gave Ghislaine Maxwell limited immunity during two days of closed-door interviews, allowing her to name roughly 100 individuals without risk of self-incrimination; Trump publicly rejected Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s claim that “there is no starvation in Gaza,” calling images of starving children “real starvation stuff” and saying, “you can’t fake that”; a federal judge blocked the Trump administration from stripping Medicaid funds from Planned Parenthood, calling the law “punitive” and likely unconstitutional; and 63% of voters view the Democratic Party unfavorably – the worst rating in 35-year history.

"Thank God I’m an atheist." Luis Buñuel
“You are not just here to fill space or be a background character in someone else's movie. Consider this: nothing would be the same if you did not exist. Every place you have ever been and everyone you have ever spoken to would be different without you. We are all connected, and we are all affected by the decisions and even the existence of those around us.” David Niven
