One of the most improbable stories in classical music history: not because they are Black, but because they are seven siblings in one family of virtuosos.

The parents of the award winning Kanneh-Masons deserve an award too.

1 - the exec branch can't decline to spend $ Congress appropriated

2- the fed govt can't use federal $ to extort states over policy/political disagreements

3-the fed govt can't use federal $ to impose conditions unrelated to the funding program

4-the fed govt can't use federal $ to coerce states
Sean Duffy on blue states: "What I can do is I can pull their money. That's the leverage I do have ... I guarantee you that the federal taxpayer is not going to fund their roads and bridges and their systems when they are putting illegals on the roads."

Donald Trump claims the United States of America had boats in Greenland in 1725, over fifty years before the United States of America existed.

This ridiculous buffoon is so breathtakingly stupid.
Trump: We need Greenland for national protection. They have a very small population. They say Denmark, but Denmark has no military protection. They say that Denmark was there 300 years ago with a boat—well, we were there with boats too I’m sure.

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.

Here's a downloadable link to the 60 MINUTES piece that Trump's enablers at Paramount's CBS refused to air.

Share it far and wide.

No!

Most presidents do not in fact name anything after themselves while they’re in office, because they’re not toddlers who constantly need to be the center of attention.
Has any other president named this much stuff after himself?

Young Kim is the MAGA Trump boot-licking Republican in my area. She's the worst.

But Esther Kim Varet is the Dem that will replace her if we help raise her profile( @estherkimvaret.bsky.social ), repost for her & for those who can afford to, make a contribution.

Even $2 helps.

It all started in 1955 with a misprint in a Colorado newspaper and a call to Col. Harry Shoup's secret military hotline. Shoup played along with the tiny voice who called, and a tradition was born. From the NPR archives.
