Annie Oakley demonstrates her skills in the cramped Edison Black Maria studio, a tarpaper shack that served as a location for most of the company's early releases.

Movies were a novelty-verging-into-a-craze when this film was released in 1894 and Oakley was one of many celebrities engaged by Edison

Effing yes.

David is absolutely correct here. Trump doesn’t understand that some people do the right things for the right reasons because he has no idea what the right thing and the right reasons are. For Trump, there is only what benefits him, and what does not.

Somewhat unique.

From you and I.

Thanks for bringing David to my attention. He is the Alan Allport of Cold War history. (Debbie Downer cold water splasher on popular history and fan of some English soccer team). Perfect!

Donald Trump can waive his own privacy rights and release the portions of the Epstein files that refer to him right now. It's just like a tax return, but we know how he has handled that. I'll join @AliVelshi to discuss at 10:35 am ET on @MSNBC. Please join us.

The economy is so good that I'm firing the BLS Commissioner for reporting numbers so grim I refuse to believe them, and also demanding the Fed cut rates typically seen during a recession.

We are losing the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which has helped educate, inform, and entertain millions of Americans.

Instead, we’re getting a vulgar new gold ballroom, which none of us will ever see.

Whatever’s in the Epstein files must make “grab ‘em by the…” look like a Hallmark card.

COLBERT: You warned everyone…he would prosecute political enemies, cut Medicaid, alienate our allies, give tax cuts to the rich. I know you're not here to say 'I told you so' but would you like to?

HARRIS: You're correct. I did predict a lot of that. But what I did not predict was the capitulation.

It has been the honor of my life to serve as Commissioner of BLS alongside the many dedicated civil servants tasked with measuring a vast and dynamic economy. It is vital and important work and I thank them for their service to this nation.

Firing the BLS Commissioner — the wonk in charge of the statisticians who track economic reality — is an authoritarian four alarm fire.

It will also backfire: You can't bend economic reality, but you can break the trust of markets. And biased data yields worse policy.

And the Michigan Public Health school is a world leader.

UMich cancels doctoral epidemiology program admissions for 2026 The University of Michigan School of Public Health will not admit a 2025-2026 admissions cycle cohort to its PhD in Epidemiologic Sciences program.

People thought I was overreacting when I said Trump’s list of “banned” words meant epidemiology was itself defacto being banned.

But this week U Michigan announced they aren’t even accepting applications for the 2026 epi PhD admissions cycle.

Bloodied Faces, Sobbing Children: Immigration Officers Smash Car Windows to Speed Up Arrests We’ve documented nearly 50 incidents of immigration officers shattering car windows to make arrests — a tactic experts say was rarely used before Trump took office. ICE claims its officers use a “mini...

Scientist on green card detained for a week without explanation, lawyer says A Korean citizen studying in Texas on a green card was detained in San Francisco after a trip overseas.

No other word will do: Gestapo. American Gestapo - words I never imagined I'd associate together. A legal resident. A scientist searching for a Lyme disease vaccine. Criminality? Arrested for weed - ten years ago. Abducted at the airport by anonymous goons and disappeared.

Opinion | Want Medicaid coverage? Go pick some vegetables. The unworkable plan to replace deported farmworkers with non-working Medicaid recipients.

An article from NBC News in June has become a central point of defense for Trump supporters. It begins by noting that, days after an ICE raid that grabbed scores of people, the waiting room was full of applicants to replace them.

See, Sen. Schmitt said: Americans are getting those jobs! See below:

And remember 🤔🤔🤔🤔✊✊✊✊

History majors rule!

This is genuinely appalling.

Thinking of David Halberstam's 'Powers That Be,' with sections on mightiness of (a) CBS; (b) Wash Post; (c) Time mag; (d) LA Times.
The pillars of US journalism as civic forces (with huge flaws), and as businesses.

It is like Ozymandias now.

Shame on CBS.

Dems should strongly consider impeaching RFK Jr if they take back the House — and maybe should campaign on a pledge to do so
