Wilbur has a common problem : How to rid his condo of his crazy girlfriend trying to kill his daughter and goldfish. Drowning? Forcing her to eat her own poison? Asking her politely to leave?
He'll probably go nuclear : Send her to chat with #MaryWorth

Somebody finally describes Mike Johnson properly.
I just think there needs to be more attention paid to the uniquely creepy, mendacious, awfulness of Speaker Mike Johnson. Don’t underestimate the depth of his ambition and breadth of what he is willing to do to never return to Shreveport.

Hiding out at Charterstone, where the only thing happening is Dawn Weston's father's girlfriend trying to kill her. Don;t worry, #MaryWorth is on the case, protecting people with a plethora of platitudes

The US State Department has been sending letters all over Europe since March demanding that contractors who might do work for US Embassies follow Trumps anti-DEI orders.
Of course, this has not gone over well.

So if they agree on a lunch order, that's 1 deal for everybody at the table right? Plus one for not tipping, of course.
RADDATZ: Trump said he's made 200 deals on tariffs. 200 deals? Who has he made deals with? Is there actually any deal at this point?
BESSENT: I believe that he is referring to subdeals within the negotiations we are doing

Rick Riordan is great to follow for odd gods, but don't rely on him to tell a tom from a hen.
I am used to seeing wild turkeys in Boston. I am not used to seeing one roosting right outside my front door. He looked at me through the window, totally unconcerned, and went back to pruning himself. He is quite large. What are the gods trying to tell me...

If you can't get a prisoner back, isn't that a pretty strong argument that the whole operation should be shut down immediately?
The Trump administration conceded in a court filing Monday that it mistakenly deported a Maryland father to El Salvador “because of an administrative error” and argued it could not return him because he’s now in Salvadoran custody.
