OVERHEARD:
Elderly British couple walking west around sunset, and I overhear her angrily say to him, "I can't see anything when they put the sun so low" and I'm wondering who the "they" is in this instance.

Probably hard for him to fully focus on tariffs while also negotiating with a convicted child sex trafficker to exchange her silence for a pardon.
Just right here, right out in the great wide open, the Trump administration is preparing to release scrubbed Epstein files and then trot out a freshly pardoned Maxwell to say how innocent Trump is of everything while saying only Democrats are pedophiles. The most transparent corruption imaginable.

DOJ: Why would he do that?

DOJ: The Assistant Attorney General, who is Mr. Trump's former personal lawyer, will drop by for a chat.
GM: I bet he will.
SCOTUS is allowing Trump to fire (at least for now) the three Democrat-appointed members of the Consumer Product Safety Commission.
The CPSC regulates safety of everyday consumer products.
Guess who recently sued the agency and claimed that it's unconstitutional?
Amazon.
A tweet from me about who should take over for Trevor Noah: βFucking Josh Johnson. Take a risk. The obvious risk. Heβs already doing it. Heβs writing it himself every day and doing it on stage putting in the work and making it look effortless. JOSH JOHNSON.β
Josh Johnson is entering the Daily Show host rotation.
I donβt want to brag (I do) but this was me in 2023 when they were trying to find someone to replace Trevor Noah.
