Todd Blanche said it is DOJ policy NOT to release photos that contain victims.
So . . . the release of [undoctored] photos with Bill Clinton is an exoneration of him and refusing to release pics with Donald Trump is an admission of Trump's culpability.
Good to know.

Thanks, Trump!
Jim Beam is closing a major distillery for 2026. It makes Jim Beam as well as Basil Hayden, Knob Creek, and others. There's a bourbon glut in the US thanks to the Canadian boycott. Brown-Forman, makers of Jack Daniels, is having layoffs and has closed a cooperage.

Thanks to @sfwa.org for being so responsive to concerns around the Nebula Awards and LLM use. The Nebula should honor human creativity, as the revised rules now state. However, we also don't want to see writers tripped up on eligibility or hit by witch hunts over minor LLM usage like spell check. 1/

The next time you hear conservatives railing against "handouts for the poor," remind them that we should really be cutting corporate welfare — unnecessary and unwarranted aid for profitable corporations that are dependent on the taxpayer.

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

amazingly enough I did actually check to see if the generic lisdexamfetamine that might as well have been sugar pills for all the good they did me were from Sun right after seeing this skeet. they weren't, for the record; my utterly useless lisdex was from Lannett.
Reposting because, and I say this with love, some of you are going to see this and go “oh shit, I need to check my bottle” and then immediately forget about it so if this could affect you, go check right now before you even scroll to the next post, I mean it.
As a headsup for anyone on Vyvanse, you should go check your lot numbers.
