Mexican President’s Harsh Takedown of Trump Exposes an Ugly MAGA Scam

Donald Trump’s angry threat to impose 25 percent tariffs on all U.S. imports from Mexico—delivered Monday via the cautious diplomatic language of a Truth Social rant—is widely being depicted as a bluff. Trump declared that once in the White House, he will impose the tariffs unless Mexico stops migrants and fentanyl from “pouring” into the United States. Seen as a feint, the tactic could theoretically get Mexico to halt the migrant flow, allowing Trump to pull back on tariffs later while boasting that on the border... Читать дальше...

The Longevity Hot Spots That Weren’t

In 1999, a Belgian demographer, Michel Poulain, heard about an Italian island where people lived to be 100 and older while remaining mentally and physically active. Intrigued, Poulain visited Sardinia, where he validated people’s ages according to their birth records. Using a blue pen as he crossed the island, he marked on a map the spots where he found the oldest villagers. “From that time, it is called the blue zone,” he explained to me over the phone in June.

I’m asleep and I’m everywhere

My dreams hold
perpetual exhibitions on
the history of the male nude. Читать дальше...

Ice Cream

Before visiting, I’d stop for ice cream
where young girls with young muscles
would flex deeply into cold hard cylinders
and pull out great frozen globs of cream
that would soften beside me
on my drive to the hospital,
chilling my hands while I waited
for an aide to buzz me in:
Where she would sit holding on
to a synapse tucked away for just this

this tiny oasis amid neurological tangles and plaques,
a spoonful of sweet cream to... Читать дальше...

Trump Could Make U.S. Cars Less Competitive

On Monday night, Donald Trump announced plans to impose sweeping tariffs on some of the United States ‘largest trading partners. Goods imported from Mexico and Canada will be subject to a 25 percent tariff, Trump said, while those from China will face a 10 percent tariff. Whether or not these particular measures are enacted, the next administration—whose ringleaders have long promised to rid the country of everything from clean energy tax credits to a non-existent “electric vehicle mandate”—could...
