Painted in 1913, 'Corner of the Church of San Stae, Venice,' John Singer Sargent has abandoned the 18thC panoramic tradition and painted a cropped version of the church, creating a more visually dynamic and arresting viewpoint.

First off, Pete Hegseth is a disgrace and should be fired.
Second, instead of being an asshole and trash-talking the journalist, he should be thanking him for not posting anything top-secret that’s still to come.

What you have to understand about Pete Hegseth copying and pasting war plans into Signal is that it almost certainly means he’s got classified documents on his personal UNSECURE devices. Signal isn't on a secure device...are our war plans on his personal devices? @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social

Every single Democratic lawmaker should be calling for Hegseth's immediate resignation right now. Not just some. Not just a few dozen. Every single one, starting at the top with Mr. Schumer and Mr. Jeffries. And the fact that it hasn't happened yet is nearly as shocking as Hegseth's conduct.

In addition to being brave and the right thing to do, Sassoon’s letter points out that the Emperor has no clothes — it demolishes the utterly fatuous, transparently corrupt excuses for dismissing the Adams case.
READ Danielle Sassoon's letter to AG Pam Bondi, via @nytimes.com:
"Rather than be rewarded, Adams's advocacy should be called out for what it is: an improper offer of immigration enforcement assistance in exchange for a dismissal of his case." static01.nyt.com/newsgraphics...

I'll add that NOAA tracks water levels, which is essential data for shipping. So when container ships start to run aground or collide into bridges on a regular basis, blame Trump and Musk.
Everyone realizes that the reason NOAA and the National Weather Service are housed in the Department of Commerce is because having reliable weather forecasts and info is critical to the national and international economy, right?
