This is cool. COURIER has created a searchable database with all 20,000 of the files just released from Epstein’s estate. Trump's name appears in them more than anyone else, in 1,628 documents.…

Ah, there it is. We always have grocery store gift cards on hand at my church for people who need food, and through our Compassion Fund we've paid rent, car payments, utility bills, tax debt, you name it ... but no one gets cash. The choice is a gift card or a direct payment to the vendor.

The first movie I saw in a theater! But I rewatched it recently and didn't find it very delightful. I thought Phil Harris's voice performance was lazy, as was Pat Buttram's. And the story just kind of stops instead of coming to a conclusion. But I did like that "On Wisconsin" is part of the score.
Directed by Wolfgang Reitherman, the delightful, animated version of Robin Hood premiered on this date in 1973. The voice acting sets this film apart from others of this era. Phil Harris (Little John), Andy Devine (Friar Tuck), Terry-Thomas (Sir Hiss) & Roger Miller (Alan-a-Dale) are all terrific.

I get what they mean, but contra several people I've seen posting here today, the current U.S. Senate minority leader is not even close to being the most powerful elected Democrat in the country.
