CBS on the cardinals: "One thing we know they're not doing is checking Instagram because their devices have all been confiscated. I believe the kids call it rawdogging."

Tweet from Charlie Spiering @charliespiering: "Photos show Mike Waltz literally checking Signal during the cabinet meeting (via Reuters)"

Moving Waltz, a walking national security risk, from one job to another is NOT accountability.

Trump should fire Waltz & Hegseth now, as I've called for repeatedly. And Senate Republicans should NOT confirm Waltz as America’s ambassador to the United Nations. #SignalGate

When lower court orders are deliberately ignored, how long does it take the Supreme Court, or Congress, to do ANYTHING about it?

It’s mind blowing to me that a 34 time felon has the audacity to send people, with no criminal record, to a literal Gulag.

FDT.

Today House Republicans, cheered on by the richest person on Earth, passed a budget framework that will cut support for the poorest people in our country.

All while cutting taxes for corporations and the wealthy, and massively increasing the deficit.

Original 1925 jacket cover of The Great Gatsby The Great Gatsby Here is a novel, glamorous, ironical, compassionate a marvellous fusion into unity of the curious incongruities of the life of the period which reveals a hero like no other one who could live at no other time and in no other place. But he will live as a character, we surmise, as long as the memory of any reader lasts. "There was something gorgeous about him, some heightened sensitivity to the promises of life. .. It was an extraordinary gift for hope, a romantic readiness such as I have never found in any other person and which it is not likely I shall ever find again?" It is the story of this Jay Gatsby who came so mysteriously to West Egg, of his sumptuous er-tertainments, and of his love for Daisy Buchanan a story that ranges from pure lyrical beauty to sheer brutal realism, and is infused with a sense of the strangeness of human circumstance in a heedless universe. It is a magical, living book, blended of irony, romance, and mysticism. CHARLES SCRIBNER'S SONS The GREAT GATSBY FITZGERALD

They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.
