Honestly, I hope Karoline Leavitt enjoys this week. She's earned it.

As Karoline Leavitt concludes her press briefing and walks off, @andrewfeinberg.com asks: "What was the president doing with Virginia Giuffre for hours at Epstein's house?"

She did not respond.

As Argentina’s president celebrates our $40B ‘gift’ from the US with Trump at Mar-a-Lago, Stone crab claws were served.
Meanwhile, SNAP payments were cut off to American people, and bread lines formed across the country.

My favorite part of No Kings today was when a white Trumpmobile pickup truck zoomed past us on the road with two police cruisers in hot pursuit and antifa enthusiasts cheering. About 20 minutes later another huge cheer from the crowd arose as the Trump beflagged pickup was seen being towed away.

ZERO arrests at No Kings in NYC. (And the NYPD isn’t notorious for being sympathetic with people anti-Trump.)

This proves what shameless liars Speaker Mike Johnson & Karoline Leavitt are to slander the participants as violent anarchists.

NN: Dems say you won't swear in Grijalva bc you don't want her vote on Epstein

JOHNSON: No. It's scheduling

NN: But there have been Rs sworn in during pro forma sessions

MJ: Only reason was bc they flew in their family

NN: So if she flies in her family you'd do it?

MJ: Again, it's a distraction

It's the #Pedophiles who hate the #Immigrants.

I believe that's called projection & scapegoating. Typical psychological warfare tactics of narcissists & sociopaths.

Ted Cruz: “How about we all come together and say let's stop attacking pedophiles."

It's sickening to watch the "family values" party defend a pedophile.

I taught Long Distance, his beautiful & honest poem about bereavement to my students for decades.
Eventually, it provided consolation to me as well.

Had to buy this Jules Verne...

The second I saw it, I was fifteen again.

These elegant Penguins, and the vividly jacketed Corgis (see Sturgeon cover) that came out around the same time, were how my generation got into classic sci-fi.

Original price, 35p!

JD Vance, the guy who called Donald Trump "America's Hitler," is going to host Charlie Kirk's podcast to say that the Democrats need to be eradicated for calling Donald Trump Hitler.

Peak fascism right there.

This Supreme Court order puts people at grave risk, allowing federal agents in Southern California to target individuals because of their race, how they speak, the jobs they work, or just being at a bus stop or the car wash when ICE agents decide to raid a place.
Today, in a devastating setback for communities in the southland, SCOTUS granted the Trump administration’s request to resume its racist raids across Southern California while our case continues.

We’re prepared to continue fighting for our immigrant loved ones and the Constitution.

My serious question is why anyone in the military chain of command followed these obviously illegal orders. Are we going to have any accountability for that (even in public discourse) so that it is less likely to happen again?
“The US is now directly targeting civilians. Drug traffickers may be criminals but they aren’t combatants,” DoD official said. “When Trump fired military’s top lawyers the rest saw the writing on the wall, & instead of being a critical firebreak they are now a rubber stamp complicit in this crime.”
Pentagon Official: Trump Boat Strike Was a Criminal Attack on Civilians
A current DoD official and many military legal experts say the U.S. attack on a boat in the Caribbean near Venezuela broke international law.
