A black and white Sheepadoodle stands on her back legs in a leaf-strewn yard and uses her mouth to grab a blue and orange Frisbee being held by someone off camera. She narrows her eyes at the person holding the Frisbee, as if concentrating hard in a tug-of-war.

It happened. Last night I was feeling despair about a lot of different things and I realized I needed to enlist my dog’s help to make me feel better.

I present to you Maggie the Pug as Cher Pugowitz.

Maggie the Pug is majorly, totally, butt crazy in love with Josh. She’s wearing Cher’s classic yellow plaid ensemble.

The White House Antifa Roundtable is one of the best displays I’ve seen of this-is-how-bad-it’s-gotten — just a sewer of open fascism, dementia, morons and freaks, and incoherent rage.

Around 30 protesters and hecklers here in the free speech area tonight. Curfew is in 15 minutes (reportedly, state police were fairly chill about curfew yesterday, but did make the few people still here move across Lexington).

Someone is tempting ISP troopers with a donut on a fishing pole.

NOTE: Leavitt says Trump will "stop by for his routine yearly check up."

But…Trump had his annual check up already. 5 months ago. On April 11.

I created edited versions of Trump v. CASA (19 pages) and Loper Bright (12 pages) to use with undergraduate students for a class session on judicial power. If you'd find either of these helpful, they can be downloaded here: drive.google.com/drive/folder...

(No promises that these are error-free!)

Now: Hundreds assembling in the Chicago Loop for a march and rally to demand the National Guard leave town. Folks chanting "Donald Trump you racist clown! You're not welcome in this town!"

Uh that’s not what the bracelet says

The description claims this bracelet says the Philippians I can do all things through Christ scripture

The bracelet says “because I fucking sparkle” at least half of which are words not found in the Bible

They were really hoping for a blowup in Portland last night for Noem’s visit so they could have a big flashy pretense for this meeting but when it was just a few dozen people dancing with inflatable mascots, it was too late to cancel the evite.
