Always smile to remember what I read about Newfies in a dog encyclopedia: They may rescue you out of the swimming pool before you're ready to come out. Lovely dogs.

Credit to Governors Josh Shapiro (PA), Andy Beshear (KY), and Laura Kelly (KS) for joining the SNAP lawsuit to force the federal government and USDA to restore food assistance because their own Republican Attorneys General wouldn’t.

My Post headline

Mamdani didn’t tell the whole truth about his hijab-wearing ‘aunt’ who feared for safety post-9/11

The “aunt” who Zohran Mamdani said was too afraid to wear her hijab on the subways after 9/11 was actually his dad’s cousin.

It was lovely to visit the Marble Hill Community Center in the Bronx today with my friend Senator Robert Jackson, and meet the wonderful seniors and staff who make it such a special place.

Border Patrol's Greg Bovino likes to say his agents are welcomed by 99 percent of people in Chicago but as they drive around the city, they're met with constant shouts of "get the fuck out of here!"

For those unsure:

Fine = As New

Near Fine = One or two minor flaws, like a surface wrinkle or a short scratch

Very Good = Does not look new, but is complete (including dust jacket) and clean (no stickers/residue/grime). Might have a name written neatly on the front endpapers.

Mint = A flavor 🙄

Think that's Joachim Peiper sitting between 45 and 7. Was in command of German unit that gunned down about 200 surrendered unarmed Americans in a snowy field at Malmedy - first day of the Battle of the Bulge. Peiper eventually met with rough justice.
