Just two days ago, JT asked former WH economic adviser Jared Bernstein if we're headed for a recession. This is his answer. In the past 48 hours, Trump added another tariff on Chinese goods (now at 104%) and China and the EU enacted retaliatory tariffs on the U.S.

Yesterday, I voted against Trump's illegal war in Iran. Unfortunately, my GOP colleagues chose to cowardly stand with Trump & against the American people. When this comes back to the floor next week, will the GOP continue to bend the knee to the maniac in the WH or stand up for their constituents?

Trump is scrambling to shut down the Kennedy Center after discovering that American artists and performers won't put up with his partisan takeover and unlawful renaming. And let’s be clear: a remodeling job won't restore the Kennedy Center to what it was. A return to artistic independence will.

Στη Γη ο ουρανός είναι γαλάζιος και το ηλιοβασίλεμα κόκκινο. Στον Άρη ισχύει το αντίστροφο: ο ήλιος δύει μέσα σε μια ψυχρή μπλε λάμψη. Φταίει η σκόνη στην ατμόσφαιρα, που αφήνει το μπλε φως να περνά πιο εύκολα κοντά στον ηλιακό δίσκο. Το κατέγραψε το Curiosity. Πρώτο έγχρωμο ηλιοβασίλεμα στον Άρη
