Justice Department publishes documents with sexual assault allegations against Trump The department shared FBI documents outlining allegations involving Trump.

These most recent allegations against Trump are vile and disgusting.

Nobody is above the law. Especially not the leader of the pedophile protection party.

BlackRock fund limits withdrawals as redemptions rattle private credit BlackRock said on Friday it has limited withdrawals from a flagship debt fund ​after a surge in redemption requests, as investor worries mount around the $2 trillion private credit industry.

When this happened at Bear Stearns in 2007 two days later the bank collapsed. If Blackrock follows a similar path we are headed into a global meltdown of all major financial markets. www.reuters.com/business/bla...

The killing of Iranian children during an illegal war is an impeachable offense (not to mention a grave crime) and Congress should really act like it.

15 Republicans in the Senate could end this nightmare before it somehow gets even worse.

Russia is giving targeting information to Iran and Trump rewards them?

Spring-Themed Nerikiri Wagashi This charming photograph showcases three exquisite pieces of nerikiri, a type of traditional Japanese wagashi (confectionery) made from sweetened white bean paste and glutinous rice flour. The sweets are delicately arranged on a speckled, cream-colored ceramic plate shaped like a cherry blossom petal, set against a soft pink background dotted with tiny flower-shaped candies. The collection includes: A cherry blossom (sakura) design in soft pink with five distinct petals, topped with a tiny speck of gold leaf at the center. A rounded, multi-colored ball featuring precise vertical ridges in alternating shades of pastel green, pink, and white, crowned with a small pink blossom. A whimsical, mouse-shaped figure in creamy white with pink ears and a curled pink tail, adorned with two tiny cherry blossom petals on its head. The soft lighting and pastel color palette evoke a sense of spring and the celebration of hanami. These edible works of art demonstrate the incredible skill and seasonal intentionality inherent in Japanese culinary traditions.

Three varieties of Wagashi, which are traditional Japanese confections. These specific treats are Nerikiri, a type of namagashi (fresh sweet) known for its artistic, hand-molded designs that reflect the seasons.

Russia is providing Iran intelligence to target U.S. forces, officials say The targeting information has included the locations of American warships and aircraft in the Middle East, the officials said.

This is interesting. But it is more interesting that Trump is rewarding Moscow for doing this by helping Russia sell oil, repeating Russian propaganda points, and senselessly burning through weapon stocks.

The only silver lining in this war cloud: this erratic impulsive president is demonstrating how risky it is to be tied to fossil fuel.
