I just subscribed today because of the cover article-- the exceptional clarity of the writer Ciarán Gilligan-Lee on a subject that defies understanding.

You remind me of Grace Mugabe, who asserted that her 91-year-old husband Robert would rule Zimbabwe from the grave: ""We are going to create a special wheelchair for President Mugabe until he rules to 100 years because that is what we want. That is the people’s choice.. Leaders come from God."

At this point, I fear the #Epsteinfiles ARE the distraction, deflecting focus from Boss Tweet's ongoing crimes. Do I think they will be his Watergate? No more than fomenting the insurrection was, or "Grab 'em by the pussy" was, or "suckers and losers" was. And I doubt he'll ever stand trial. #Trump

During the #Brewers game yesterday vs #PaulSkenes and the #PittsburghPirates, my nephew texted me, "Twice now the crew has made him look human." Amen.

Q: Do we really think the #epsteinfiles will be this century's Watergate, forcing #TACO out? If not, we should focus on the damage being done in Washington now, not the crimes #DonaldTrump committed as a civilian. Maybe the files are the distraction (much as I believe they should be released).

What's taking them so long? (Not sarcasm. Real Q.)

It's not his house. And that patio? Good spot for a guillotine.

I am proud to say I have never purchased an Apple product. They do not play well with others, to put it mildly.

Looks like a good place for a guillotine.

Bondi is a corrupt and brazen individual and AG. #47 donated 25 grand to her campaign in Florida after she got him off the hook for his fake university scam.

Trump's hand-picked Supreme Court is allowing him to eviscerate the Constitution as we know it. We cannot stay silent.

One of Mamdani’s signature legislative priorities — although he wasn’t the prime sponsor of the bill — was pushing for the New York Power Authority to build out new renewable energy generation. He’s one of only two lawmakers who actively participated in Con Edison’s last rate case and recently slammed the utility for seeking another bill hike. Mamdani also opposed a new gas plant in his district that was blocked by Gov. Kathy Hochul and sponsored an unsuccessful measure to ban new fossil fuel power plants. For climate advocates who backed him, the Queens assemblymember’s victory is a refreshing antidote to the trend of Democrats de-prioritizing climate investments in favor of near-term affordability concerns.

Nice to see people finally discovering that you can be deeply involved in getting a bill passed even if you're not the prime sponsor. Such a shame no one realized that before the primary when Zohran's experience was questioned because he'd only "passed" 3 bills. (Screenshot from Politico)

Trump begins attacking Zohran Mamdani

This was the turnout a the last self-aggrandising parade that #PieceOfShit #TacoTrump held for himself. If he succeeds in intimidating the military to hold his much desired birthday wank make the turnout even fewer, people.

This is the clearest explanation of this (perhaps groundbreaking) theory that I have yet seen. Thank you.

I expect there will be exceptions, if this even happens.

I want to point this out because it's easy to miss this detail:

France Called. It Wants Its Statue of Liberty Back. Despite the longstanding No Takebacksies Treaty, a French politician had some artful slams for the U.S. under Donald Trump.

I find this amusing. #StatueOfLiberty #France #DonaldTrump www.vanityfair.com/style/story/...

But it makes perfect sense, given that DonT considers soldiers "suckers and losers." I have to assume it's what most Americans want.

There are two mosaics: Trump done with coins, and Putin done with bullets. Genius.

My first laugh of the day. Thank you.

Please do. I once urinated on the grave of Joseph McCarthy in Appleton, Wisconsin. Easier for men, of course, but cemeteries aren't exactly crowded with living observers.
