The orangey building in my profile is Schloss Rastatt, built in that town by Margrave Ludwig Wilhelm von Baden-Baden. Oma grew up there before emigrating to Ohio.

Washington Post missing two big data points here:
1. This week's on-camera nap is only one of dozens of examples of Trump falling asleep during working hours. Where is the analysis of this ongoing pattern of disengagement and episodes of sleeping during working hours? (1)

Trump‘s brilliant plan of 50 year mortgages means that after your first 20 years making huge interest payments to a bank you will have paid down almost none of the principal and they will still own the house you are living in with 30 years to go. A scam from a career con man.

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

10+ months ago, if you saw a photo like this of battle ready agents with weapons drawn, you might assume it was an international war zone or possibly a domestic terrorist threat.
It is neither.
It is neither.
After @mandophotos.bsky.social photographed federal agents pointing rifles at 26th/Lawndale yesterday, I inquired with DHS about what threat had prompted them to pull weapons on a busy commercial strip (pictured). This is the response I got from a representative of the United States government.

Sandwich verdict wasn’t jury nullification. It was failure to prove the required “reasonable fear of physical injury” in a case where the agent was wearing A BULLETPROOF VEST. The only crime was the waste of resources on this case. My thoughts in @MSNBCDaily.

Opinion | The sandwich thrower was wrong. But Jeanine Pirro was, too.
To establish a forcible assault, jurors were required to find that Dunn caused “reasonable apprehension of immediate bodily harm.” That allegation was laughable.
