Indiana GOP Sen. Bohacek on Trump's use of r-word: "When it seems quite clear we're isolating a population by use of a slur, at some point you have to speak out... it's a word used to denigrate the intellectually disabled community... you can't validate slurs like that... it's a matter of character"

I emailed my City Council Member @shaunabreu.bsky.social urging him to support Amanda Farías for Speaker. An advocate for fair use of city resources in the five boroughs, she also favors limiting non-essential helicopter flights, which cause noise and air pollution. @stopthechopnynj.bsky.social
NYC Council Member Julie Menin claims she has the votes to be the next Speaker, but Bronx Council Member Amanda Farías has shown a lot more interest in livable streets issues.

In college, I had the privilege of performing in Tom Stafford’s one-act, The Real Inspector Hound. Funnily enough, I played the dead body on the floor through almost the entire performance. Laying there during rehearsals and listening to the whole dialogue unfold I knew every line. I loved it.

So far, Trump has pardoned:
Changpeng Zhao (founder, Binance) - pled guilty to money laundering. Facilitated millions in transactions for terrorist organizations such as Hamas.
Ross Ulbricht (founder of the Silk Road) - the dark web Costco of illegal drugs.

Very proud to announce the publication of my chapbook The Bees, out now from Verge Books. It’s a translation of Book IV of Vergil’s Georgics, full of practical tips for beekeepers, and lovely lyric depictions of hive life.

We must spend the rest of our lives rebuilding what has been so corrupted. It is our obligation as patriotic Americans, but most likely, even under the best of circumstances, we will never be able to get back to a pre-2016 state of affairs. It’s such a great tragedy. 3/3

I hope folks realize that between Trump, Kushner, Hegseth, Witkoff, Noem, RFK, Jr., Kash Patel, and Tulsi Gabbard, this country is almost entirely undefended.
Q: Have you heard this audio that Bloomberg has of Witkoff coaching the Russians on how to appeal to you?
TRUMP: That's a standard thing. He's gotta sell this to Ukraine, he's gonna sell Ukraine to Russia. That's what a dealmaker does. I haven't heard it but I heard it was standard negotiation.

So, a senior Justice Department official — along with several members of Congress — used the authority of their offices to boost an obviously dubious conspiracy theory accusing a federal employee of a horrific crime.
And now it’s clear the allegation was baseless.

How an innocent woman's name was tied to the Jan. 6 pipe bombs
The FBI has ruled the woman out as a suspect in the 2021 plot, sources said, but only after her name circulated on social platforms and a conservative news site.

Alexandre Serebriakoff’s 1941 interior of Christian Béraud and Boris Kochno's apartment is a study in how objects lean toward one another. Serebriakoff said of it: 'it felt assembled by intuition rather than someone having taken any interest in interior design.'

Trump's prosecutions of Comey and Letitia James fell apart precisely because he ousted career prosecutors who insisted on following facts and law. His installation of a pliant stooge is what blew up in his face.
