Lutnick said $500bn of estimated $1tn needed to fund checks to all US adults could come from new visa program
Donald Trump’s controversial proposal to give a $5,000 “dividend” to all US adults if Republicans maintain control of Congress in November’s elections would not be paid out from US tax revenues, according to the US commerce secretary, Howard Lutnick.
“It’s not tax money,” Lutnick said in an interview with NBC News, adding that the administration could “earn the money that Donald Trump wants to pay out, not from the deficit and not from taxpayers”.

Legs McNeil vividly remembers the reaction he got from the original CBGB bands in 1975 when they heard the name of the magazine he co-founded: Punk, the first publication ever dedicated to the form. “Absolutely no one wanted to be called a punk back then,” he said. “Not even the Ramones. Johnny Ramone demanded that we cross out every reference to punk in an article about them.”
Flash forward a few years and, “suddenly everybody wanted to be called a punk!” McNeil said. “The Ramones started running around telling everyone, ‘you know, we were the first punk band!’”

Fortunately, we had the chance to admire these beautiful Alfa Romeo classic cars in front of the Grandhotel Pupp, quite by accident.
The cars were parked there overnight as part of the XXXVII International Rally / Grand Tour of the Registro Italiano Alfa Romeo (RIAR).

Gooi het slechtste van Singapore, Miami, Jeddah, Las Vegas en Zandvoort in de blender en je krijgt de Madring. Een circuit zonder ziel waar waarschijnlijk niet kan worden ingehaald. We moeten het er maar mee doen. En wie het er vooral mee gaat doen: Kimi Antonelli. Het fenomeen lijkt op Frodo, vreet heel veel pasta en is in de ban van de Madring. Vorige week bezorgde hij de liefhebber de mooiste race van het jaar en bezorgde hij zichzelf de mooiste overwinning uit zijn prille carrière. Dit jochie gaat dus wereldkampioen F1 worden en niks kan dat nog stoppen. Of er moet iets heel naars gebeuren. Mocht dat gebeuren, wat we natuurlijk niet hopen, dan zal dat wel op deze vreselijke baan gebeuren. Stijlloze voorspelling: er gebeurt niks naars met Antonelli en hij pakt gewoon pole. Toch houden we de rode vlaggetjes gereed want grote kans dat er alsnog wat naars gaat gebeuren. Kan wel een spannende kwali worden trouwens. Demo gehad, GAS EROP!
Update - Ehhh OKÉ: Lawson op P3 met softs, Verstappen dichtbij op P4 met mediums. Maar het is nog Q1.
