So who is this person she knows who is “very close to this case”? Is it Dershowitz or Trump himself? Either one is capable of the viewpoint she describes.

I like it when there are consquences for bad behavior.

Wasn’t there a movie about a sinister robot/TV personality named Megyn?

Thank you, Sen. Schiff. We can’t allow Trump — or your colleagues in Congress — to loot the Treasury.

Well, was Sulzberger ever a guest of J. Epstein?

Don’t hold your breath for an apology.

There should be a hearing into the government’s bad faith. If the court determines evidence was wilfully destroyed, it should grant the ultimate sanction and enter judgment for the plaintiffs and against the government. No trial necessary.

One of the victims said she was still wearing braces when she was raped. But Fox will try to make this seem normal.

A bullfighting poster for an event at the Plaza de Toros in Malaga, Spain, bearing the names of several contestants and a full-color photo of a thin bullfighter dressed in a tight, short, embroidered and appliqued jacket.

A bullfighting poster in Malaga, Spain. There are many aficionados, while some consider the sport cruel and barbaric. I don’t like the ritual slaying part, but embroidered jackets are kind of nice. #Spain #Malaga #Bullfighting

Likely Trump refused to pay social security tax.

Listening to Vance gives me cramps, nausea, and a migraine. He’s in Ted Cruz’s league for nastiness.

Are we talking about the extraordinary remedy of guillotines? — Cause now you really got my attention.

When it comes to Trump, Reuters is to actual news as Velveeta individual slices is to real Italian parmigiano cheese — processed, bland and lacking substance.

Josh Barro: Democrats are angry because they don’t have ”control over the policy agenda despite having lost the last national election.”
See how condescendingly and abstractly he characterizes the potential loss of health care for millions of citizens? Classic NYT framing.

Two massive stone structures, topped with decorative shapes resembling the bishops of a chess game, flank an elaborate iron gate at the entrance to Holyrood Palace, Edinburgh. The Palace can bee seen at the far end of a grassy field.

This is Holyrood Palace, an official residence of King Charles III. There is a gift shop which sells plates, cups, tins of shortbread cookies and other memorabilia. Open for tours, for a fee, when the King is not at home. #EnglishRoyalty

A plain upright white gravestone is marked with the names of Simone de Beauvoir and Jean-Paul Sartre. Another large white stone is placed over the gravesite. The stones have been decorated with kisses made with lipstick, small stars, and other markings; and visitors have left small flower pots with blooming flowers, cut flowers, Metro tickets and scraps of paper bearing messages for the famous intellectuals.

At the Montparnasse Cemetery, Paris, a stone marks the resting place of Simone de Beauvoir and Jean-Paul Sartre.
The site is covered with mementos left by admirers who have come to pay their respects. #BlueskyPhotography #Cemeteries

Defend democracy. Defend Ukraine.

Most Americans say country is on the wrong track, blame Trump for inflation, disapprove of the president and say he is going too far to expand power of presidency Over 6 in 10 say Trump and GOP are out of touch. Even more say that about Dems.

We have roving gangs of thugs assaulting people they assume to be latino, traveling at government expense, shielded by courts, and encouraged by a corrupt president and his lackeys. Yeah, I’d agree we’re “pretty seriously off on the wrong track.”

In front of a suburban, ranch style house are two ten-foot high Halloween skeletons, grinning, with their arms partly outstretched towards the viewer.

Oh, and the regime threatened not to pay them at all when the shutdown ends. That the criminal mentality at the top nowadays.

People like Duffy are a walking, talking cowpie, except cowpies are more truly American than he is.

That is a Trump tradition of long standing.

Trump sets the performance of his agencies at an absurdly low bar. No health guarantees at HHS, no justice at Justice, no safety at FAA.

In a cellar with exposed brick and cement walls a jazz band is paying. There is a man at a small grand piano, two saxophonists and a trumpet player, and partly obscured behind a sax player, a bassist. Not in the frame is the drummer.

A few years ago, I heard the outstanding jazz pianist and composer David Kikoski play with a top notch band. We were in a cave-like club in the cellar of a Soho hotel. Although his piano bench gave way in the middle of the set, there was no stopping him. #NYC #Jazz #DavidKikoski #BlueskyPhotography

Two young Lubavitcher men, dressed in black and white and wearing black stetsons. One is holding a citron and the leaves of several plants bound together, including palm fronds, myrtle and willow. They are inviting the viewer to join them in a brief ritual for the holiday of Sukkot.

They stopped me on the street with a question. Would I join them in saying a blessing for the festival of Sukkot, to ask for a good harvest?

Bari Weiss: The evil of mediocrity cozies up to the
mediocrity of evil.

I would have voted to keep pressure on Republicans, working to save the ACA. OTOH, federals workers were getting royally screwed by Trump and Johnson. Making them work without paying them is abusive, morally wrong.
We have a criminal enterprise, not a government.

Same as the Russian dissidents we shipped over to Putin recently, who were detained when they arrived. Putin never had a better friend than Trump.

Another ”catch and kill” operation.
