Per @garretthaake.bsky.social, the extremely tacky "presidential wall of fame" that lines the colonnade to the West Wing now has obviously-Trump-penned plaques insulting or praising the presidents.

The terrible tragedy in Texas is a clear example. Republicans fought efforts to address climate change, making storms stronger, wetter, less predictable, and more frequent.

NC Court of Appeals gives over 60,000 challenged voters 15 days to prove eligibility
The majority wrote that, even though they have the authority to completely throw out the contested ballots, they decided to instead mandate a cure period for most of the challenged voters.

They're going to kill Libby and all your other library book reading apps, programs funded by Congress which the administration (and certainly not Elon or his teen Nazi psychopath goons) has no power to shut down.
Maybe a day to call all your reps again and to demand action

Brad Schimel, MAGA Supreme Court candidate in Wisconsin:
* supports 1849 abortion ban
* as AG, left 6,000 rape kits untested
* said he was “honored” to be named in Planned Parenthood v Brad Schimel
* said female Justices were “too driven by emotion” in abortion case
… bad for Wisconsin women.

A reminder to everyone to follow CYNC Verity @chattjazz.bsky.social -- an ex-pat living overseas (former military national security guy) who is giving us daily info on what foreign media is reporting about Trump and what's happening in the U.S. Because our media isn't reporting news we need.
@the-independent.com @craigunger.bsky.social If you wonder if Trump is an asset to Putin, wonder no more. In a despicable act, Trump shut down research and tracking of Russian war crimes and kidnapped Ukrainian children. Source: The Independent. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/e... #HeroesNeeeded

Obama and Biden may think they are honoring the office of the presidency by keeping quiet at a moment like this — if so that’s just preening vanity — they owe it to the office and to the Republic that until last month it served to speak up loudly and clearly and without relent.

Like a true politician, Brad Schimel is desperately trying to spin his failures on rape kits.
Over two years, he tested only nine kits out of a backlog of over 6,000.
While Schimel dragged his feet, rapists roamed the streets.
