Trump and Bessent clarify that they will only help out Argentina as long as Milei is in power. Trump adds that the same thing goes with NYC, where the White House will hold up funds if Mamdani wins.

My sympathies on the loss of Jack. I lost my 20 year old cat a few months ago. I had her for over 19 years. Few marriages last that long these days. She had eyes that could see right through you.

"This magazine is old enough to have fought McCarthyism the first time, alongside great journalists such as the CBS broadcaster Edward R. Murrow, who counseled Americans not to be 'driven by fear into an age of unreason.'"

We Defeated McCarthyism Before. We Can Do It Again.

It’s easy to feel despair about what looks like a new age of government censorship. But being around for 160 years gives you perspective.

Downy woodpecker (Picoides pubescens) – From the Instagram archive… Definitely the most common woodpecker here in West Michigan and one of the most frequent visitors to our bird feeders at home.

Dear funding agencies,

I know we all want to discover the wonder drug that will cure the horrible diseases, but to do that, we need to invest in basic, unsexy, foundational research on how the systems work. Funding can’t all be drug development.

Sincerely,
Looking for basic research grants.

I think humor is a way to fight back. Watch after Saturday’s marches to see how it looks. I’m pretty sure it won’t look weak. I’m going dressed as a butterfly.

Lobotomy was considered a cure in 1941 when his Aunt Rosemary was taken to have one. She was disabled and unable to speak intelligibly for the rest of her life. He really is a monster, isn’t he?

President Trump is propping up a foreign government with a $20 billion taxpayer bailout while he cuts funding for American communities and shuts down our own government.

So much for America First.

I have a bill to stop this bailout.
