At this point, I fear the #Epsteinfiles ARE the distraction, deflecting focus from Boss Tweet's ongoing crimes. Do I think they will be his Watergate? No more than fomenting the insurrection was, or "Grab 'em by the pussy" was, or "suckers and losers" was. And I doubt he'll ever stand trial. #Trump

During the #Brewers game yesterday vs #PaulSkenes and the #PittsburghPirates, my nephew texted me, "Twice now the crew has made him look human." Amen.

Q: Do we really think the #epsteinfiles will be this century's Watergate, forcing #TACO out? If not, we should focus on the damage being done in Washington now, not the crimes #DonaldTrump committed as a civilian. Maybe the files are the distraction (much as I believe they should be released).

Nice to see people finally discovering that you can be deeply involved in getting a bill passed even if you're not the prime sponsor. Such a shame no one realized that before the primary when Zohran's experience was questioned because he'd only "passed" 3 bills. (Screenshot from Politico)

My great friend, the documentary filmmaker Bob Richter, died yesterday, peacefully. His movies were all about peace, and our responsibilities to each other and our habitat. Rest in peace, Bob, which you advocated so eloquently.

Well done, Peter Kalmus, for taking responsibility for the risky decision to live in a semi-arid ecosystem, a risk that is only increasing with climate change.
A few years ago, my friend, outspoken climate scientist Peter Kalmus @climatehuman.bsky.social, moved his family out of LA because he could extrapolate from the data. This week the house where he raised his kids burned down.
