JUST IN: DOJ has dropped charges against Alejandro Orellana, a man charged for distributing face shields to protesters in LA -- and whose arrest was touted by Trump allies as a big win.
The reason was not immediately clear.

Senate Democrats should be looking to file amendments to this big ugly bill that should propose massive cuts targeting Elon's companies. There will never be better opportunity to open up this divide among the worst people.

It wasn't til today that I read in a profile of actor Ramon Rodriguez, now the lead in ABC's Will Trent, that in his young, early acting days he played the role of Omar's lover in #TheWire. Had to go see photos to believe it.

I recommend the HBO two-part doc Pee-wee as Himself.
The tension between him and director is electric. A control freak giving over control while exposing all. He died prior to giving his last interview on camera.

Climate and weather disasters cost $182,700,000,000 just last year alone.
And now, the Trump admin announced it will no longer update NOAA's disaster tracking database.
It's gone. Right as we enter hurricane season.
Good luck America.

Humanization of a pope became easy and even odd when media found brother of Pope Leo XIV who talked about their convo prior to going into isolation at the Conclave. They do Wordle and Words With Friends together and never mentioned the possibility he'd end up head of the international church.

Scrolling YouTube, found a channel of a Gen Z music producer who listens to albums pre-1980 he's not familiar with. While listening to Rumours by Fleetwood Mac, he mistook incredible voice of Christine McVie for a man. Oh and "What an interesting voice" he says, about Stevie Nicks. Kill me now.
