WorkTrump, Who Once Proposed a Muslim Registry, Now Courts Their Votes“We as Muslims stand with President Trump because he promises peace,” Belal Alzuhiry, an imam from the Detroit area, said in front of hundreds at Suburban Collection Showplace, an exhibition center. “We are supporting Donald Trump because he promised to end war in the Middle East and Ukraine.” WorkTrump Attacks Bipartisan Semiconductor Law on Joe Rogan PodcastThat argument does not take into account how reliant the United States is on foreign nations for chips, particularly those made in Taiwan.

WorkWork'A lot of fun': will Trump's rambling Joe Rogan interview rally young men?Because of this easy ride, Trump came off sounding old, doddering and unintelligent - but politically unscathed. He was allowed to blame all of America's ills on Democrats and paint himself as a great leader. He attacked Harris, calling her "low IQ" and that she "couldn't put two sentences together". She was one of a number of women whom Trump and Rogan dismissed as "stupid", perhaps with a nod to the young misogynist voters who could be persuaded to vote for the former president.

It Might Be Too Late.At a Brown rally outside an International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers hall in Dayton, the head of the local building trades council, David Cox, told me that his members were getting more work than they’d seen in 35 years.

He Lifted Them Higher.For all their free-form interludes, the Dead’s songs had clear landmarks and structures — some of them far trickier than the band’s nimble performances would let on. Lesh could stick to a riff, as he dutifully did in the intro to “Touch of Grey,” the Dead’s only Top 10 (and only Top 40) single. But when the verse arrived, he was footloose again: nudging, scurrying, syncopating from below. His bass lines held hints of Bach, jazz, bluegrass, blues, Latin music and far more, as he sought out new interstices each time through a song.

The feature isn’t yet complete, though, and it could still be some time before we see it. Rahman predicts it’ll arrive with Android 16.
