Andrew Intrater and his wife each gave the maximum $5,800 to Santos’ main campaign committee and tens of thousands more since 2020 to committees linked to him, according to filings with the Federal Election Commission. Intrater’s cousin is Russian billionaire Viktor Vekselberg, who has been sanctioned by the U.S. government for his role in the Russian energy industry.

We didn't actually think they'd stop with Trump, did we?

Everybody angry that Biden didn't get Paul Whelan out of Russia should read this post by his brother.

RT @[email protected]

Former President Trump appears to have mentioned my brother #PaulWhelan's wrongful detention more in the last 24 hours than he did in the 2 years of his presidency in which Paul was held hostage by #Russia (zero). I don't suggest he cares now any more than he did then (zero) https://twitter.com/peterbakernyt/status/1601003241516343298

Ken and I are thrilled to share that our family has grown! 💜🌟

Our son, Rai Larson Ithiphol, was brought into the world on Friday, December 2, 2022, by an incredibly generous surrogate, to whom we are eternally grateful. (Rai is pronounced like “rye” or “chai.”)

We love him very much.

One benefit of a COVID thanksgiving. NO sense of smell or taste taste. So… I’m a gourmet tonight.

Everything I’m cooking tastes like it was made from Scratch including the cardboard.

Doing a Thanksgiving Dinner this week (Saturday, not Thursday) with some Irish cousins. Should I feel obliged to do green bean casserole, which I usu didn't cook in the US (preferring Brussels Sprouts instead), given what a remarkably silly (but yummy) American dish it is?
