I'm surrounded by fireflies. I'm so happy.
There are scores of them.
This is the field across the road. You can't see how many because the camera can't pick up the ones farther away.
Probably need to turn the video horizontal to see them well.

"Once you elect or appoint someone who has no moral core — who then appoints people with no moral core and fires those who do — nothing else in the system of checks-and-balances turns out to matter."
In Trump's America, good character has no value.

Even more knew someone who was temporarily unaccounted for.

Basically all US policy is at this point about indulging Trump’s irrational obsessions, petty grudges, and corrupt grifts, and then taking secondary and tertiary measures to mask the consequences of those policies.
lol, great, so we're now subsidizing Argentine ranchers at the expense of American ranchers. Seems politically sustainable, no questions from me.

Awful: Trump's $230 million shakedown from DOJ can be paid to him confidentially at first, without the public ever finding out about it until later, Rep Jamie Raskin tells me.
Raskin will formally demand full communications between WH and DOJ on this.

There is no difference between Trump destroying the East Wing and using a wrecking ball on the Washington Monument or Smithsonian. Just because he (temporarily) lives there doesn't give him the right to demolish the White House without Congressional approval.
