And finally there is an editorial, in which we argue that Donald Trump is "creating a militia which answers only to himself" and how he could use it to "stage provocations pretty much anywhere with impunity, including during elections" if Congress does not step in www.economist.com/leaders/2026...
ICE’s impunity is a formula for more violence
Is America’s president building his own paramilitary militia?

He’s putting on an act and all of you reporters fall for his schtick every single damn time. Lame.
Sen. John Kennedy, a Louisiana Republican, has earned a reputation as perhaps the most quotable senator because of his folksy, simile-heavy way of speaking.
His book, “How to Test Negative for Stupid: And Why Washington Never Will,” is written in that same tone. https://wapo.st/4k3T9Dc

Cops are defunding municipalities.
Not defunded.
I know this from researching police salaries for a recent paper: many cities have a set of officers taking home more than $500k and they can’t really explain why

One Oakland police officer made $490,000 in overtime. The city can’t find records detailing much of what he did
One OPD officer logged 5,242 total working hours, racking up $490,000 in overtime pay. If he worked more than half of the time in a calendar year, why can't the city tell us what he did?

Actor Demond Wilson has passed away. He was 79. He was best known for his role as Lamont Sanford on the TV series Sanford and Son. I used to watch reruns on WFLD-TV (Channel 32) in Chicago in the late 1970s. That show was hilarious and still is! R.I.P.

Bari Weiss' spouse Nellie Bowles, who was a New York Times reporter at the time, was apparently friends with Epstein's publicist Masha Drokova -- who arranged for a friendly meeting between the two in 2018.
Bowles and Epstein also engaged in chummy email correspondence during that time.
