a big runoff last night, in New Orleans:
Calvin Duncan was exonerated after spending *28 years* in prison; he tried to get his own case records from the New Orleans city clerk—but the office dragged its feet.
So Duncan ran to become city clerk himself, and yesterday ousted the incumbent.

Here’s momma & baby Mountain Goat from Glacier National Park for #stunday. Momma just wanted a nap, but baby was not about that life. This was the first time I’d ever seen a mountain goat. One constant in all these national park trips - I had no idea about the diversity of wildlife in this country

Remember the recent middle-of-the-night apartment building raid where children were dragged outside naked & zip-tied in the street while black & Latino residents were _sorted by race_ and piled into separate vans while their apartments were ransacked & robbed? That raid? So it resulted in 0 arrests.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem should resign and be criminally charged, according to critics who seized on a report revealing that zero people who were arrested in a high-profile raid were charged with a crime.

Barrasso won't commit to holding a Senate vote on an Epstein files measure and says, "this is not about truth, this is about an attempt by the Democrats to make President Trump a lame duck president and I'm not gonna aid and abet them in their effort to do that."

The US would greatly benefit from distributing free Sherlock Holmes books to law enforcement. Anyone would have arrested a man whose ex-wife supposedly fell down the stairs before his family had to testify—only to later have the body buried in his golf club.

I stand with unionized Starbucks workers, who are on strike across the country right now for better wages and working conditions.
Until Starbucks strikes a fair bargain with its workers and ceases its union-busting behavior, I'll continue to boycott the company.

Angus: You know, every article I’ve read about the tourism numbers talks about “Canada’s uncertainty with the tariff wars.” No. Canadians hate Donald Trump. They see not going to the US as an act of patriotism.

KARL: Wait a minute. I've gotta stop you. The Walmart package this year contains much less than the one last year. That's why the price is less.

Does the United States military armed forces give you a $50k bonus for signing up for the US Army, US Air Force, US Navy, US Marine Corps; or even the US Coast Guard?
NO! Why then do ICE or Border Control agents get this? And they are enlisted with no training & no background checks!
