What’s not to like? Nature, music, books, science, film, art, tech, history—it’s all great, open hearts and minds and spread the wealth. But on the dark side - it would be great if there is a hell and how do I get a job there?

I know it’s stupid to call things that are clearly awful in their own right distractions, but it is pretty stunning how batshit insane every thing has gotten in tandem with the realization that they are just going to ignore the law on releasing the Epstein files.

FYI:
In 1916 the U.S. signed an agreement for control of St. Thomas, St. John & St. Croix, known as the “Danish West Indies,” in exchange for $25 million & a declaration that the U.S. would “not object to the Danish Govt extending their political & economic interests to the whole of Greenland.

Seeing the destruction of the White House makes me emotional because Trump is so visibly flaunting the absence of constraints to his abuse of authority.
He’s tearing down parts of the People’s House to construct a massive fascist temple where people will come to pay tribute to him.
It’s grotesque.

It’s no accident that DHS Secretary Kristi Noem shot and killed a 14-month-old puppy and now oversees ICE.
(I observed at the time of her appointment that her killing of the dog probably made her a more attractive candidate for the position.)

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.

Kuvin: So, we know the FBI has it. We have to assume they reviewed it—and that some agent, or multiple agents, have created internal memos identifying who appears on those videos. And that’s what we need: the internal FBI memos showing who they’ve identified on the recordings.
